ME

ME

Hey guys, it's me. I'm sorry for the late post but as you all know, I'm extremely important. I hardly have enough time in the day to tie my own shoes. In fact, at this very moment I am sitting here with a transcriber. Have absolutely no time to write this myself TBH.

Now, since no one has the means to get me what I truly want (diamonds) the following is a list of gift ideas that I won't actually enjoy but which you all can afford. (JK you know I enjoy the small things in life. Diamonds being very small and quite light as well.)

Black Legwarmers

Either 100% cotton or wool. Thick knit. I don't know if you all are aware of this but I am a professional dancer. I danced snow pas and sugar plum fairy this year in New York City Ballet's "The Nutcracker". I'm very modest about these achievements but do feel I at least deserve a good pair of warm-ups.

Gray and/or White Socks

My room in the apartment I currently reside in was previously a porch. The average temperature is 5 degrees on a good day. For all intents and purposes, I live in a tree house (is Mom crying?). What I truly need to combat this dire situation is a few good pairs of thick wool socks to sleep in. VERY thick knit. WOOL. Mid-calf to knee high. Think Rachel Green circa 1992. Think Topanga in that one episode they go skiing. I'd like a pair of all white and I'd like a pair of all gray. I'd like them ribbed. No patterns. No colors. Slight heathering is permitted. Don't screw this up.

Records

Now that I live in Logan Square my hipster tendencies have intensified. Hipster Rule #27: only listen to albums on vinyl. I'd like any records you think a good hipster should own. Artists I would love to have on record are Radiohead, The Shins, Gaga and Beyonce (It's called being ironic, OKAY).

Coffee

Going along with the hipster trend, I think we all know I am a  fan of coffee. Knowing the new local indie cafe before the posers in Wicker. Scoffing at anyone putting whip on their cafe mocha. Even the yellowing of the teeth is something that as a hipster, I strive for.  Be it beans, stove top espresso makers or espresso cups; any coffee paraphernalia would be appreciated.

Books

Coffee Table (clothing designers, photographers, artpop, popart)
Non-Fiction (environmental science, philosophy, physics)

A few years ago it was a hippy. Then it was a little monster. Now it's a hipster. As long as you can grasp the current subculture I identify with, buying me things shouldn't be a problem. Nothing from Urban Outfitters please. I'm not THAT kind of hipster, OKAY. I am a tumblr hipster. If you even get that.

Kelly's Christmas list, not Culley

Hi Everyone,  I thought I would post some ideas on here for christmas.  I like practical gifts, stuff I can use and will be put to good use.

1. Mini Ice Cube Tray- I am going to start making myself compound butter cubes and would like a silicone one so its easy to pop them out.

2. A rolling pin that is either Marble or ceramic like the ones pictured below

3. Anything for the kittens, whether its treats, scratchers or toys.

4. Olive oil pourer-  I get olive oil by the gallon or half gallon so I would like something smaller and functional to use with cooking something like this.  Any color other than red would be nice.

5. Gift card ideas: Bed Bath and Beyond, Starbucks, Target, or Home depot

Hello Fellow Najarians. 

 I still feel a little awkward posting on here, (get it?^^^) but I will because I know it helps figure out what to get everyone.  So excited to see you guys soon and to have another Griswold Family Christmas.  BYOS (bring your own squirrel)

1. Always good to start with a good book.  I've been really wanting to read this book by Nick Offerman called Paddle Your Own Canoe, perhaps it's because of my latent love of canoeing.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/052595421X/ref=ox_sc_sfl_image_7?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER 

 2. Warm stuff.  I'm cold a lot, so stuff that keeps me warm is always awesome!
Like these knit slippers,

or these long undies, 

http://www.zappos.com/patagonia-capilene-3-midweight-bottoms-hardy-stripe-classic-navy

http://www.zappos.com/patagonia-capilene-3-midweight-crew-hardy-stripe-classic-navy~2

both medium, in the blue and red stripe.
3. If you want to get me something practical that I will definitely use to further my art you can get me the 1/4lb kit of Hxtal from His Glassworks.  It's THE glass glue and I do everything with it.  here's the link.

http://www.hisglassworks.com/cart/HXTAL_NYL_1_Epoxy_Adhesive_p94.html#.UquU1qVU2ao

4. Here is a total fantasy. But really, what is the point of only one champagne saucer? You kind of have to have two to toast. maybe a couple people could co-lab this one?  These are seriously the tits saucers, i've been drooling on these for years. 

http://www.ebay.com/itm/261238189484?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2648

4.5.  I forgot one thing, which i can't believe i forgot!  This awesome new collection of Rod Stewart unreleased tracks called Rarities.  No link here but you can prob find this on amazon.  Here's the album cover.


5. If you are totally stumped about what to get me for christmas, fyi, I like Centenario or Casadores tequila and I'm totally in on the whole craft cider brewery thing.  If you can find a drink called William's Sir Perry I will be impressed.  :-)  

So excited to see you all so soon!!!!!

Merry Xmas to all and to all a good night.

Little Andrew here.

I've been a very good boy this year and my mommy and daddy told me about Santa and how he brings presents for good little boys.  I am saying all sorts of words and learning how to use my potty like a big kid, so I think I should do pretty well with this Santa fellow.  If you all could link this to Santa's website for me, I would really appreciate it.  Also, feel free to use this for ideas for any presents you would like to get for me, the one and only grandchild.  ;-)  Love you all, baby kisses on the way!!!!!

 

#1.  I LOVE DINOSAURS! I play with my dinosaur figures all the time. You can't go wrong with dino stuff.  Along those lines I also LOVE Curious George, incase anyone in the family still didn't know.  Anything not on this list themed in either one of these is sure to score big. 

 

 

#2. I am starting to get into playing with little figures and building with Duplo Lego blocks, so maybe a little set of those or one of these little play school kits looks like fun.

 #3. BOOKS! I really like books.  anything with cute stories and really nice pictures. Here's a Richard Scarry Storybook that I really want.  I love his stories. 

 

 http://www.amazon.com/dp/0307155781/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_img?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2TI0D7UFI198Q&coliid=I107TQD42JCLWA

 

#4. Cute Clothes!  I am wearing a size 3T right now.  My style is classic American boy with a nod to vintage 80's kids clothes.  Also, since I'm potty training right now I am experimenting with underpants, so this would be one occasion were underpants would be a welcome gift. 

PS. In shoes I am wearing a toddler's size 8

 

Umm, that's all I can think of right now. I'll probably add a few more things to give you and Santa ideas, but I already have a lot of toys so I don't ask for too much.  Love you all!  Big baby hug!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



FELIZ BLAGHGG BLEEEE BLAHH

and extra small thong size.
sorry I am not as witty as the previous posts.

325 grit 4 Inch Radius Smoothing wheel

4 Inch Flat Edged Polpur Lapi-T Abrasive Wheels orange black or tan

Any All grain Beer recipe kit
 (milled grain not extract)
they have a lot of budget kits

Love,
If you have to ask, you don't know/love me

Hi guys-

You know, you have practically made it impossible for anyone over the age of 31 to participate in this, I'm sure it's nothing personal.

I just read last year's posts, and realize mine for this year is scarily the same.

Estée Lauder TRAVEL size   TuberoseGardenia. Cologne.   I think both nordstrom and macys have it on their web site.

As usual, my amazon and etsy wish lists are extensive and thorough.

See the 2012 blog posts for access info.



Can't wait to see all of you under the tree!

Love, mom

Non tech Davy Mon

Vrolijk Kerstfeest! (Merry Christmas in Dutch, I live in Europe whateva)

I'm a lot busier than Dave and will therefore not be able to write such an extensive introduction to my list and instead will just get straight to the good stuff. 

LSAT SuperPrep

PowerScore LSAT Logic Bibles are also top notch options, but this book should be a good start to see if I can handle this stuff and be a liar just like Dad (reference anyone?) 

Less Than Zero 

This book made an appearance on my list last year and somehow I didn't get it. I am a firm believer in used books - get the cheapest one on Amazon. If you're really looking to please me you could do a Bret Easton Ellis set, and get the cheapest used on Amazon of "Less than Zero", "Imperial Bedrooms" and "American Psycho". Just saying.

Carhartt Hat 

So I can pretend that I'm cool. Black. 

Leather Belt

I had a belt (actually stole it from Daniel I think) that looked similar to this. It was a really solid belt, but it is lost now and I would much appreciate a replacement. Just a classic brown buckle belt like this with no stitching or any of that crap. Go for cheap because I don't care about the brand at all but this is the exact look of it. It's originally Nautica but couldn't find it online.  If you find the old one at the house, wrap it up and that's an even better present than a new one. I'm a 32 waist. The boys probably shouldn't get this because I don't think they have ever used a belt or even know what one looks likes. 

Unless you've been living under a stupid rock, you know that I am abroad right now. That means that I've been spending all of my money (and Mom's and Dad's too so don't expect any presents from them this year - sorry family but not really) and am now a poor college person. That also means that I haven't had Chipotle in three months because this stupid socialist continent doesn't believe in the tortilla wrapped goddess. Two presents in one! Money + Chipotle = CHIPOTLE GIFTCARD

Headphone Screw

This seems stupid but these are screws for my iPhone case and they get lost like crazy. I linked the Amazon page for a set of three.

Pants

These are some of my favorite pants but I've had them since high school and they're ripped and ruined in some parts. If you're interested DO NOT buy them full price I got them for like 25 bucks or something. They're always on sale in stores. Size 32 W x 30 L in Montana Khaki

I am 31 but I still need these toys

FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!! that means you HAVE to buy me everything I want.

I am sure all of you are lying awake at night worrying that I won't like the present you give me... afraid that it will be you that ruins Christmas for everyone by presenting your oldest brother/first born (most loved) son with a less than optimal holiday offering... I understand why you are so concerned... that would be an absolute tragedy and it would probably take the better part of a decade for you to repair our relationship.  

This year, for your convenience,  I have decided to initiate a tiered system of gift requests... they are listed here in order of price which directly correlates to how much you love me... and furthermore... will set the bar for how much I will love you for the rest of the year... 

For example... if you choose to pick from one of the tier three or four gift categories I will know (without you having to even say anything) that you do not love me enough to make a real financial commitment to our relationship and in turn I will not feel bad when I miss your birthday, stop speaking to you and forget your name.

Again, I took the time out of MY day to make this process easier for YOU because I could tell how much you were all laboring over how you were going to make sure I was properly thanked for being the best (looking and otherwise) brother/son any of you could ever have hoped to have.  Sometimes it makes me almost cry when I think how lucky you must feel to have me... you guys really have it good... thank god Christmas exists so you can properly applaud me.

Hugz, 

David Samuel 

Tier One:  

These are most likely things I will be buying for myself to show myself how much I love myself... but if a couple of you would like to band together and form an alliance to make sure all of your birthdays/names are never forgotten I would like to extend to you that chance.

Little Bits Korg Synth Kit

The little Bits Korg Synth Kit is sure to provide me with hours of enjoyment making nonsensical electronic racket that is sure to give my dog and anyone else around me anxiety for weeks and weeks... it is SUPERRRR cool and will 100% guarantee those who invest in it for me a spot (albeit a small one)  somewhere vaguely near my heart.

Korg Volca Bass Synth

Equally as desirable and obnoxious as the build it yourself kit is this standalone annoyance machine.  There are three synths in the product line but if I had to pick one I would get the bass.  They do carry these at guitar center and will price match online retailers if you are one of those brick and mortar types.

New Balance Quincy Shoe

This looks like a Vans but has a N on the side.  I would enjoy wearing this on my feet very much.

Sushi Oke rice bowl

I dont know how many of you are aware of this but I am now a sushi chef.  I have been trying to find one of these rice bowls in Chicago but I cant... luckily you can find it for me on the internets!

grasshopper breaks volume 2

This is from france... it is rare and I doubt the seller is even speaks English but I want it.

techinics black headshell

These little black things hold the needle on the arm of a turntable so you can hear the muziks.  Panasonic stopped making technics stuff two years ago so these are all refurbished or the last of their kind... either way I am collecting as many as I can... Currently I have Zero...

table cloth slipmats

cool stickers

Totoro Costume by forgetmenot1854

If I dont get to wear this Totoro Costume soon I am going to freak out.  One of you or some of you have to get me this... this is priority number ONE

I can never have enough of these usb keys

replacement propellers 

replacement cross for our helicopter

Some of you might not know this but I crashed the radioedit RC helicopter about two hours after we bought it... we need these parts to continue our flight training

TIER 2

gift certificates to restaurants 

nice flannel shirts size large

Boxer briefs

socks

*this is a work in Progress... only posted it so I could be first.  I win
