The Rosch Family

2007 Christmas List


Updates

What's up with Christmas this year?

Stockings - Once again:

This year, each adult selects one thing for every other adult's stocking - but with a price limit of under $5 per item.

(As usual, parents are responsible for their children's stockings.)

FYI: Last year's list

Chris


Dan

  • Cleats

  •  


Bob

  • Books
  • Tools
    • Cordless Drill Kit (preferably Black and Decker or another name brand - so I can buy 2nd battery easily). Unfortunately, the charger for mine broke - so I can't recharge mine. They have changed the battery styles, so I can't just get another charger. I use this tool ALL THE TIME, so a good one is appreciated. Here is the nearest equivalent to the one I currently own.
  • Entertainment
    • Sabres tickets (if you keep the one next to it, Bill). As of the writing of this, there were still small quantities of tickets available to several games…
  • Clothes / Jewelry
    • Cufflinks - I wear a good number of French cuff shirts, so more cufflinks are always appreciated. Interesting shapes or themes are nice. Please avoid ones with coins or money symbols in them. Some examples: Exotic Abalone, Abalone, Patterned Enamel, 3-Stripe, Jigsaw
    • Watch / Cufflink Box - A storage box for watches and cufflinks so they do not get scratched or damaged.
    • An Electric Shoe Buffer - An inexpensive unit that I can keep at work to buff my shoes.
    • Scarf - A nice wool one that would go with a chestnut (light brown) or dark rust colored coat.
    • Gloves - Brown leather gloves
    • Gift Certificate for Jos. A. Banks - I buy a lot of work clothes there. It is often overly expensive, but they have very good sales a couple times a year. This will let me take advantage of the next one.
  • Other
    • I would like an elephant genetically crossed with a pot belly pig (so that it looks like an elephant put only weighs about 45 lbs). They don't currently exist, but I have wanted one as a pet for years. Between Bill's scientific skill, and Beth & Chris's proximity to Ohio State's Agra School, I'm sure someone could make this happen. If possible, I would prefer one with tusks.
  • Bed rest


Christy

  • The Dirt on Clean: An Unsanitized History, Katherine Ashenburg

  • The Journey of Man by Spencer Wells

  • Black leather gloves, women’s large or extra large

Eamonn

  • Ocean Wonders Aquarium, or something like it, where he can lay in his crib and be entertained by it by watching it. (He already enjoys his winnie the pooh mobile, but it has to be rewound so often.)

  • Baby board books

  • Combi weather cover, medium (stroller cover)
