Holidays List
List of Things For Me For Christmas
- interesting hats
- non-patterned, jewel- or earth-colored turtlenecks, sized women's small.
- One of the commemorative 50th anniversay Crayola 64-crayon packs
- pro-quality opaque black (and maybe opaque white) ink for dip pens; HUNT 102, 56, and 107 artists' nibs (or equivalent), the more the better; blotting paper; standard Bic mechanical pencils. (Also possibly a brush pen or some tech pens of my own. Or an Ames lettering guide or an artists' quality straight edge for inking.)
- DVDs: POTC 3, Iron Man
- CDs (or mp3s): Small, quirky, local, geek-rock or swing/rockabilly/American traditional or folk/early music groups that the giver enjoys (or performs in). Or classical chamber music or avant garde classical or alternative hip-hop. Or novelty songs from the '40s, '50s and '60s. Or basically any music that you like that is fun, is too obscure to pirate and too deeply un-hip to be indie.
- nice, small-sized blank notebooks, lined or plain or graph; black ballpoint pens
- sheets sized for a full futon mattress (also preferably earth- or jewel-tones, but patterned is fine, and I don't care what kind of cloth, as long as they bend and are machine-washable.)
- A thing to file other peoples' business cards in (they make those, right?)
- anything edible (no, really, anything)
- money
- any paid time on my JF account; one month paid time on my LJ account so I can finish fixing my custom layout and moodtheme.
- AAA batteries, rechargeable or otherwise
Things I Really Truly Do Not Need For Christmas (though I will probably still be happy if I get them):
- books.
- Star Wars crap
- any clothes not explicitly on the list (there are clothes I need, but they need to be very specific ones I pick myself, and they are outnumbered by Clothes I Have Too Many Of. So, gift certificate to Goodwill or Salvation Army would be cool, if someone wants to get me one of those.)
- random knick-knacky things for the cats to eat, incl. candles and jewelry.
Things I Really Truly Do Not Need Any More Of But Kind Of Want Anyway:
- windchimes (that actually chime well)
- Daekor potbellies (Dude, I didn't know that they were a banned hazardous material! Awesome.
- Williamsburg pottery in the dark-blue-and-off-white pattern, especially things that I can actually use in the kitchen, or office stuff (like inkwells).
Also:
Sarah really wants a copy of Quickbooks Pro. If Sarah gets a copy of Quickbooks Pro, I no longer have to do the studio accounting by the seat of my pants, so it is also a present for me. I will be passing the hat for this, if any of our friends and relations would like to contribute a fiver or two to be their present for both of us for Christmas.
Fandomy-things that would be cool:
- fanart prints
- fic or fanart based on any of these ideas or any of these fandoms or on any fic or art I have posted.
- Feedback on any fic or art I have posted.
What do other people want? (bearing in mind that I am deeply broke and there will likely be a lot of homemade-from-scraps presents this year. Deeply broke enough that I am not even considering doing Christmas cards except to first-degree relatives.)
(I owe some of you stuff already. The books have been delayed again because I *found* the boxes that went missing! I just haven't got a chance to retrieve them yet. The D ficlets are in progress! ...they just aren't so much ficlets anymore. And then there's Yuletide...)
