I’ll take a $1000 gift card to The Container Store, so I can keep organizing my new condo. ---

In particular, I wanted one with erotic pieces, but I’ve never seen one that’s rendered in a way I like for a price I could afford.

I would love to get the _Captain Kentucky_ and/or _Pertwillaby Papers_ collections by Keno Don Rosa…even more than the previously mentioned Japanese whisky advent calendar. ---

Having just come from the Enchroma thread, I want to add a pair of Enchroma glasses with my prescription—if it’s effective, that is. ---

We are replacing the sofas in our family room, and I want some throw pillows with bluebirds on them. I love decorative Christmas stuff, I already have too much but would not be disappointed to find a Fitz and Floyd cookie jar. I’d love to have another cashmere twinset (I know they are unfashionable, I don’t care) in pale pink. I always love new perfume. I bought my sister Gucci Bloom but don’t have it myself yet, so I’ll go with that. I think I have hit my spending limit now! ---

I already have the plate with the pterodactyl on it. My family is getting some mugs for Christmas. As for me, I’d like about $1000 worth of chocolate. That’d keep me happy for a bit. ---

> [@Sicks\_Ate](#): > > I want a complete set of cycling gear for all weather conditions…that fits me. It’s out there (in one or maybe two places) but it’s expensive to procure all at once. Same. I’m pretty well set up, but I could really used a lined nylon shell and some goretex gloves. ---

> [@lagogo](#): > > A vapor untouchable elite football jersey. If you like the classics, look at [Mitchell & Ness](https://www.mitchellandness.com/team/nfl?item_type=77&product_list_limit=108), but make sure to get the authentic ones, not the replicas; I don’t like those nearly as much. If you’re limiting me to $1000, I’ll come in with a nickle to [spare](https://www.nikonusa.com/en/nikon-products/product/compact-digital-cameras/coolpix-p1000.html#). I can go to 600mm now but I wanna play with that 3000mm lens for tripoded moon shots! ---

> [@Beckdawrek](#): > > I have been wanting a bird. I originally wanted a pet crow. I have found it’s really not legal to have one. So I’ve amended my request to an African grey parrot. Santa baby, I am begging you. I’ve been very good this year! My daughter really wants a bird for Christmas and I’d like one, too. Unfortunately our cat Tibby has a taste for poultry—so, no bird till the cat’s too old to walk without a walker. Bad Tibby bit the tail off Snickers the gerbil last year (he doesn’t snicker at the cat any more). My daughter’s a hard-core vegan. She doesn’t eat animals, but she sure likes to live with them. We volunteer at a local cat rescue every weekend. When the chores are done, she scoops up an armful of kittens and pleads, _“c’mon Dad, let’s bring these cuties home—please!"_ :rolleyes: But, if/when we do get a bird, I want one just like [this little guy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWuvnc6u93A). Of course I wouldn’t get much work done because I’d be tickling the bird all day. This year: \*all I want for Christmas is my two back teeth \*(hard to chew properly without them). ---

I would like a gift certificate to attend a fly fishing school for intermediate to advanced anglers. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-do-you-want-for-christmas/823933.md?page=2)
