2008 Holiday Wishlist Thread

[paulisded]

Every year, there's a few people I'd like to buy Christmas gifts, but I really don't have an idea what they need or want. To help myself (and others) out, I had created wishlist threads on FBA. With that board dead and buried, I thought I'd attempt to do this here.

Here's what you have to do. Make a wishlist at an online retailer such as amazon. Make sure you set it as a public list (don't worry, your personal info is still not make public). Then post the link in this thread. Mine is:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/registry.html?ie=UTF8&type=wishlist&id=1L5WLDJO1CTYY

If you've been a good girl or boy, you'll get a surprise package or two (or more) in the next few weeks.

Hi, that's me! :)

[drjoek]

Zombie Strippers on bluray? Really?

[Kris10]

You update you're list before xmas every year?

This guy who won't leave me alone asked what I wanted for xmas this year and I told him new windshield wipers for my car. I'm a real pain when it comes to gifts, I only want something I know I will use, it has to have a purpose.

Windshield wipers = perfect gift
Jewelry = I could so live without

My family has no idea what to get me, and I tell them every year I don't really need anything. So I create this list of things I wouldn't mind owning but don't want to spend my own money on.

Now make your own lists!

[Don Stugots]

Threesome.

I didn't see that on Paulisded's list

Anyone who gets me a Nikon DSLR will be treated to a nice venison roast.

I was going to but I don't like venison. Sorry! Maybe next year.

[Hottub]

I just want to be sure the (crappy) paychecks keep coming. My wife and babies deserve a home.
This will not be the best Christmas ever.






Dear Santa, the boys would like Wii Fit.

Dear Santa,
I take things personally and need a sense of humor. That is all.

[~Katja~]

funny, this was always very welcomed at fba.... seems people here take offense to it?

I will get ya my list, Scott... as always it has more little things for Lukas on it...(he still loves The Wishing Tree book from last year) the only things I need/ want are pricey photo equipment and on my lists for my family to see.

I appreciate your thread, you are one of the people I call a friend these days, even though you were "just" another message board "creep" at first.

[Kris10]

No offense here, I just don't have a list for myself. I worry about my daughter for xmas.

[PapaBear]

I'm actually loving Canon more, but I have the lenses and flash for Nikon.



I'll always accept cash.


I'll send a thank you card.:king:

sell it and get a canon!
well, I think it does not matter what camera you use, though personally I find the canon much easier to handle.

yupp, mine has mostly stuff for my son on... and last year he recieved the Giving Tree and it was one of the most cherished gifts. Truth is that many of us on these message boards have become friends beyond the board, and while it may not be one person wanting to send you a little surprise to enlighten your day, it might be another that loves you.

We all think of our kids first, this is where someone might think of you for a change.

Awwwwww, Katja. I feel the same about you...and I can't wait to pick out gifts for both of you.

If you made a list and included some stuff for her, maybe she'll get a treat or two.

why not donate to an animal rescue charity or meals for the poor or homebound organization.

they are way more in need than anyone who owns a computer and a subscription to the internet.

no not really. just a dream.

I used to cook. but had to make more money so i got out of it.

But yeah anything really food related is great for me. I love cooking and would go back to it in a heart beat. :down:

Thanks for the site, Katja ... one of their participating charities is the ALS Association - Greater New York Chapter, which I fundraise for as a team captain for their annual walk event in Bergen county, so that would be my choice. And if I had realized that Macy's participated I would've gone through this with an order I placed the other night ... d'oh! (Well, now I know. And as soon as we get the kids' wish lists from the sister-in-law, I am shopping through GoodShop!)

[King Hippos Bandaid]

if u are stuck with a wife or girlfriend who wants Uggs

I have a connectiion, just waiting on the shipping receipt to be emailed to me and then I will give the link and phone #

either I was screwed big time or have a nice connection, the place has good BBB reviews

You didn't try Zappos or OnlineShoes.com? Or even Martys Shoes? (Marty's has a tendency to have "last year's model" of shoes or whatever in their stores this year.)

I went 20 pages into google and yahoo

sold out of all the above mentioned places and more

took 3 hours but found a place



I take it back, if u have a size 11 or 12 foot u can get stuff, my wife dont have tranny feet

[Thebazile78]

BTW Hippos, Zappos has the Classic Tall available up to size 8. (The product description says that they run large & you should order a size down if you're a full size and a half-size down if you're a half-size...so unless your wife wears a 10, you can get the Talls at Zappos for $168 and change.)

That Cardy style, on the other hand, is even uglier. OnlineShoes has 'em, but only in a 5.

Actually, it's been my experience that larger sizes sell out fastest. Or they have to be special-ordered.

Either way, why ANYBODY would want Uggs is beyond me ... they remind me of my gramma's slippers.

agreed

my wife tries to act like she is 19 and on the hills

its beyond me, but she cooks well , cleans and does the checking and bills (amongst other things nsfw)

so hence the 3 hours searching for her

Now that's love.

Keep trying Zappos if your connection doesn't work out. They've got decent customer service, run free shipping deals frequently and have a great return policy.

i used to make money, but now i cook. i would recommend checking out korin for a knife rather than those mediocre german knives. i used to use only henckles professional s chef knives and then bought a suisin gyuoto and my cooking life changed.

here is a nice knife korin (http://www.korin.com/product.php?pid=444&cat=54&subcat=19&subsubcat=20&df=knife&catname=Western%20Style&subcatname=Suisin&subsubcatname=Suisin%20Inox%20Western-Style&mnum=HSU-IG2021)

if you are a lefty like me u have to pay to have it converted. two essential stocking stuffers with this are the sharpening dvd and a 1000 grit sharpening stone.

the all-clad tools are first class...i use them professionally and personally.

[ahhdurr]

That was fun.

If I get nothing else though, Santa, please bring me the big gong. It's time my neighborhood knew who the fuck is boss each morning.

Rise and shine motherfuckers!

Also, if you are on Twitter, you can always tweet @Zappos and talk to them about it.

very comfortable, very warm. & i never get the plain looking ones. i have a thing with boots without any seams or structure. i think they look like mannequin feet. so everything has to have some sort of style or structure to me.


& i never fold them or wear them over my jeans. or with sweats.

Zappos had some of the more structured ones available and I must admit that they look OK. But I have no use for boots like that ... I love me my sneakers.
