Well, I’m partial to cats and dragons, so anything related would be acceptable. Also, SF or fantasy novels, if you can pick out one I don’t have and sounds like I’d like it. A page-a-day calendar sounds nice, especially if you could get one with good dragon or fantasy art (or a regular calendar, too, even). Coloring books (I have 96-box of Crayola that’s gathering dust ATM). Homemade goodies like fudge, brownies, chocolate cookies would be good if you’re a baking type.
Or a magic eightball. Or a slinky. Fun toy-type things like that.
Shirley check around in Archie McPhee (from my post). You’ll be pleasantly surprised. Also, try Target. Not that I’m sayin’ anything. And, of course you wouldn’t want to check til after Christmas.
The Amazing Drinking Bird. You can actually get them in a two pack here. (Again, you’ll have to look around. And not til after Christmas.)
-Rue. (who didn’t say, but needs his gifts PG-13 or less)
Oooohoohoohoohooh! Edmund Scientific! I used to love going to their store in South Jersey when I was a science geek kid. They have the neatest stuff in the universe.
Hey, I think I need to tack a side trip onto the PhilaDopia Fest.
Philistines! It’s “A Friend in Need”. See the bull dog in front passing the ace to his bud? A poignant tableau from the genius of C.M. Coolidge.
(The Little Woman wouldn’t let me get the velvet version. And the print I had got quickly delegated to Katcha’s room. Narrowly escaping the basement.)
-Rue. (Art Coin-sewer)
Okay Santa, nice coat by the way, I like books (Orson Scott Card is my favorite author, but the entirety of sci-fi is a decent start. Classical philosophy is another good one. A copy of Plato’s Republic would be well loved.) and music (broadway musicals, good choral music, happy hardcore…) and toys.
I love toys. (Stuffed animals, sand frogs, etc…)
If you have really good off the wall, but still elegant and personable taste, I need a fourth earring. (I recently got my ears double pierced and I have three beloved earrings…)
I hope that’s enough ideas, I’m really very easy to entertain and getting mail is great start alrerady.
Another not picky, its about getting something crowd…
G-XXX rated is OK, no kids around here.
Nothing girlie though please. Nail polish, candles and things like that just aren’t me. Anything G rated just ask yourself if a 12 year old boy would like it. If he would, I probably would.
I do love Bugs Bunny and Looney Tunes stuff though.
Yeah, I shoulda mentioned anything for me has to be rated G. Mrs. Dave-Guy wouldn’t appreciate me opening up a present in front of 8-year-old Halford the Human Eel and pulling out an automated dancing dildo in festive holiday colors.
