elementof_riskBecause people keep asking. And I have to say...this is difficult. No one ever buys me things, so. Right. Anyway.
Here's the thing--I pack light. I move around a lot. Yes, I have homes where I store things, but I'm not there a lot, so things like game systems and entertainment systems, and even DVDs just become things to have to put somewhere that's difficult. Digital is best. But I've got the latest iPod (wtf is wrong with me that you people don't, by the way? And yes, I will fix that), I've got the best computer money can buy, and I've got a really good, really tiny camera plus all of the other gadgetry that comes with my sort of occupation.
I understand that makes me hard to shop for. But I love experiences, and despite what people think, I really haven't done it all, you know. I am only 27, and I have been training or working for most of my life, so:
1. Tickets to a show or concert you think I'd enjoy.
2. Gift certificate for dinner at your favorite restaurant.
3. A trip to Disney World. No, I've never been. Yes, it sort of horrifies me on principle alone. Yes, I might mock it, but it seems like something that might make Baileigh happy, so...have at. I promise not to shoot any singing animals.
4. Bottles of Château Pétrus, preferably the 1982 vintage, are always appreciated, though I recognize they aren't within most people's budgets.
5. I can always use a new Armani tie or two--they do tend to get ruined occasionally. Blood doesn't come out well, and even though I'm not wearing them as much as I used to, I like to have them on hand when needing to dress to impress.
6. Gift certificates to Borders or Barnes and Noble. I spend a lot of time on planes and am always needing new books to read. I go through them like mad.
7. On that same note--any books you've read that you think I might enjoy. I love discovering new authors and new genres, and will read just about anything.
8. Level I Swahili from Rosetta Stone. It's one I don't speak that might be useful.
9. Level I Welsh from Rosetta Stone. I don't speak it either, and it probably isn't the slightest bit useful, but it might be fun?
10. Gift certificates/cards for iTunes. All that traveling, and such--I'm always looking for new music to listen to, as well, and it's nice to be able to try new things out.
