2011 Christmas List



Tom

  • I would like a weather alert radio with all the bells and whistles to be able to program it for the immediate local area, battery backup, and ideally AM/FM radio.

  • RE  calendar software: Never mind.

  • Second Mortgage


Marcy

  • E-reader if people wanted to group together. Everyone seems to love them and I have no idea which one is better or worse. 

  • While I like kitchen gadgets and coffee, I do not want a keurig or any such machine.

  • I always enjoy my night out with Tom, doesn't need to be a big expensive restaurant. We are simple folk. 

  • I always enjoy a session at Charles Penzone.

  •  

  • Opera Glasses


Dav

  • Graphing calculator

  • David could use "Man Jewelry": dress watch, tie clip, tie pin

  • Ties that coordinate with his black suit, gray shirts and white shirts.  No flowers, no joke ties.

  • David likes to listen to music on the computer and iPod. 

  • He currently has a subscription to Wired that he enjoys. 

  • He plays Dungeons and Dragons with his friends.

  •  

  • Continued bows and chants of: "We're not worthy"


Peter

  • As you know buying gifts for Peter is very difficult. We see something vaguely useful, we buy it. Generally, whatever it is sits around unused. I have a basement full of educational materials and games for very young children. Boxes full of puzzles, legos and duplos of all sizes, etc.

  • Peter is enjoying his iPad very much. We add apps as we become aware of useful things, so itunes cards could be useful or maybe even a keyboard for it. I have seen them at Staples. 

  • I can tell you that he likes to use his Stop and Shop gift card for his weekly shopping trips as well as his dunkin donuts card. So gift cards to Dunkin Donuts, Honey Dew donuts, McDonalds, Auntie Ann's pretzels, etc. could be good. Any place that he can pay for his own treat. I asked him once if he liked having his own credit card and he nodded yes fairly emphatically. Cards with monthly fees like mall cards and prepaid Visas would not be good.

  •  

  • Hat-hair Hat


Brent

  • Refectory, Barcelona, or Cameron Mitchell Restaurant gift certificate. All of them give you an additional $25 gift card for free if you buy $100 of gift cards, but please don't spend $100, unless perhaps you want to give that much to me and Beth as a shared gift.

Bob

bob-a-bing!

In attempt to combat the joyless profession of banker, I am considering branching out into the Mafia. As such, there are a few things I could use this Christmas to help with this transformation: 

  • Mobsters need to dress nicely, so… 

    • Ties. I don't have to wear them often anymore, so my stockpile has diminished. No novelty ties please - people don't trust a mobster with a Mickey Mouse tie. 

    • Cuff links. The new mobster pinky ring. Think understated; I don't need to alert the authorities. 

  • Mobsters gamble, so… 

    • Tickets to a Sabres game. Perhaps I can pick up some tips from the guys in the cheap seats. 

  • Mobsters are self-absorbed, so... 

    • A gift certificate to amazon to buy mobster books or Italian music 

  • Mobsters need tools for the rough stuff… 

    •  A Bench Vice like this…  

    • Craftsman Mulching Blades Kit a For 46" Tractor Deck (This is the same kit as the Craftsman one - but licensed for a less expensive tractor - so $15 less than at Sears)…
