So I ran into this problem AGAIN this year... Parents ask me what I want for Christmas, and all I can come up with is "I dunno... something new?"
I don't want them to spend too much money by any means, but they are bent on getting me something. They don't want to get me a refurbished something of what i've got (ie, a new bedset or something), they want to get me something new.
Here's kinda what I came up with:
one of those new MP3 phones
additions to my personal library (I don't know what books tho)
or something to go along with my computer, like a nice set of speakers or a new printer (cuz I actually maybe really need that)
What are some ideas out there? What did you ask for for Christmas?? |

with the mp3 player/phone thinger, i think it'd be best. i mean... i need a new phone (was gonna get one for myself, but i'm broke) and I love having my music with me, so i figured the combo would be good.
And thanks, Tyler, for the printer suggestion. i'll look it up. |

This is my top ten list I just emailed to my mom. :)
My parents usually end up getting each kid one 'bigger' gift and then a bunch of smaller ones. The ones with ** infront are some of my 'bigger' gift ideas.
(bigger, really means more pricey in this case)
**1) A new DIMM card for my mc909. (memory for my sampler) (about $150ish I think, although I have friends offering to sell me used ones for around 40$ CDN)
specs
pin= 168 pin,
speed= 100mhz (pc100cl=2) or ideally a 133hmz (pc133cl=3)
Volatage= 3.3v
Capacity= 256MB
Height= 38mm or less
2) A new back up card for my mc909
SM card 3.3 volt 128MB
3) book gift certificates or amazon.com certificates.
4)music gift cards
5)garden state plaza (for TOTA's, this is the largest mall in the greater NYC area, with the possible exception of Pacific Palisades) gift card (i loved the one you got me last year)
6)Keg steak sauce
7)books to learn japanese Kanji and Kana lettering systems, a good book is 'A guide to reading and Writing Japanese' third edition isbn#0-8048-3365-6 or '250 essential Kanji for everyday use' volumes 1 and 2. all three are by Tuttle publishing. I'm ok on Hiragana, so I don't need anything for that.
**8) a new snowboard (just the board... all of my other stuff is still holding together just fine) I'm mainly into riding half pipe these days with only a little bit of backcountry steep powder.
**9)A Backpack, The North Face Catalyst 75 Pack with Pivotal Suspension is the one I'm going to be saving up for. I've seen them retailing online for around $300 (MSRP is around $375 I think). The reason I like this pack is because the swing pivot system really helps take the stress off of my hip injury when the pack is fully loaded. (I tried them out at adventure guide filled with phone books.)
10) A balance ball (exactly like the ones you see in yoga and pilates all the time now) with a mini ball pump to inflate it. (these things are really helping with my martial arts and i love messing around on them improving my balance standing on them). When I move over the holidays I have to give the one I have back.
**means these can be pricey (ie over $100) |

Nothing.
There are plenty of things I want in life, but I am not willing to ask my family for any of them.
I have a lot, and I am grateful for what I have this year. Anything more would just be extra. |

I just need a little bit of a pc upgrade (est 400-500) and that's all really.
Clothes, cold hard cash. That is all. |
