In this season of giving, I thought I might
casually mention a
few items bunch of stuff that a certain red-headed writer might like for Christmas. This is also a good list to work off of if you happen to have any geeky writer-types on your Christmas list.
So, in no particular order, I want:
1. Canned Unicorm Meat. Count on the fabulous minds over at ThinkGeek to come up with something as horrifically fun as
canned unicorn meat. (NOTE: take a moment and read their product descriptions. Seriously...go there now.) I really want to put this in the break room at work and install a hidden camera to watch all the fun reactions. Because I am just sick like that. Oh,
come on, I can't be the only one! Admit it. You want some, too!
2. Sonic Screwdriver TV Remote. This is also from ThinkGeek. It is a Doctor Who TV remote that you can use to control your television (duh). Read the
description in order to fully understand how amazingly awesome this remote is, and how unbearably cool I would be waving it at the television. Especially so that it would be mine, ALL MINE!
3. Lord of the Rings Trilogy. I also need the
Lord of the Rings Trilogy, because somehow (unspeakably!) this is not in my library. I have no idea how this deplorable oversight happened, but I hope to rectify it immediately.
4. Soft Kitty, Warm Kitty. I need this shirt. Because my kids really
do sing it to me when we are at the sad part of any movie and I start getting teary. And it
really does help to soothe me. Sing it with me:
Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur.....
5. Gift Baskets. Also, I love gift baskets--especially the food type. There is just something about all those tiny boxes tucked inside of a pretty basket. All those foods and treats that you would never think to normally buy...too expensive, too "frilly" and impractical. But when given as a
gift, well, it would rude not to indulge.
Check back in for more Geek Gift Ideas, and feel free to leave suggestions for your favorite geeky or writerly gift. I will keep adding more ideas as the holidays creep closer!
This is the soft kitty shirt I want, because MITTENS! http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/ec3e/
ReplyDeleteIt's sold out at Think Geek at the moment, but there are other sites where you can buy it... Love your list!
Too cute! I think my cat-obsessed daughter might need one, as well. I have no idea where she gets it.
DeleteOMG! That Unicorn meat is hilarious, and I definitely want the sonic screw driver.
ReplyDeleteThis just made me think--do they have "wand" TV remotes? Like, you know, Harry Potter-esque? If not, they TOTALLY need to make them. Imagine swishing and flicking your wand to change the channel...oh what, that is Wingardium Leviosa.
DeleteYou must not purchase the canned unicorn meat. It's Voldermort's leftovers. We have a PETA petition pending against Lord Voldermort's estate demanding this product be taken off the market.
ReplyDeleteWe definitely must rectify the horrible situation resulting from the library not having Lord of the Rings. Utterly disgraceful, that is.
Good luck on the list! Nice stuff! :-)
Ew, Voldy's leftovers. Ew. Just....ew. And, fear not! I do intend to continue my campaign for the purchase of the LOTR Trilogy on my behalf...
