I’m mostly shopping for my baby daughter, who has no wish list of her own, and predictable adults. Dad gets a bottle of scotch and a book, mom gets a box of chocolate truffles and a book… you get the idea.

The only free radicals for me are my niece and nephew. I take care of them via American Science & Surplus, stuff they’d want if they knew it existed.
