It's a 2 part question: 1) What do you (realistically) want for Christmas (don't give me any of that "world peace" baloney, I'm talking about good old fashioned materialism) 1a) What cool thing are you giving to someone else? 2) I have to do a "Yankee Swap" gift thing this year. What should I buy? *degree of difficulty = <$30. **If you've never done Yankee Swap then you should try it, it's really fun, especially with a cut-throat bunch of waifs)
My wish list was pretty simple this year - new tires for my road and tri bikes and a new NiteRider headlight/tail light combo for the road bike. The oddball thing I got my wife is a rocking camp chair from REI. It wasn't on her wishlist but she has tried one out every time we've gone to the local store for the last 9-10 months and she always has a little grin when she sits in it and thinks about sitting by the campfire in it. Yankee Swap - Wine or a bottle of Scoth is usually a popular item in every one that I have seen.
1. A Ninja Coffee Bar System with all the bells & whistles 1a. My son is a huge Michigan football fan, so I'm getting him and I tickets to a game in the Big House for next season. 2. Is it a serious swap, or gag gifts? If for real, a good bottle of wine or a gift card to a popular store (Walmart, etc.) usually go over well.
