Here are some suggestions for things to give me as a gift. I update this list as something strikes my fancy, and remove stuff as I get it, so check back next year to surprise me. ;)
Space tourism, alternatively, A telescope for amateur astronomy
An Uncle Henry pocket knife to match my childhood knife*
A motorcycle (you should talk to me before buying this one)
Your favorite bottle of Alcohol
A well in Africa
A sweet hiking backpack (I’ll shop around with you for this, I’m picky)
USB missile launcher (I would make good use of an attached webcam if you want to splurge)
Help me pay off my student debt
One More Wii-mote.
Two Gamecube controllers. (Perferably wireless, but definately not Pelican G3s, those suck. Wavebirds are fine. Anything else you find laying around for cheap is fine too. Used is ok too.)
Organize a birthday party for me. (I suck at hosting parties, but I want to have a sweet birthday party with all my friends, you can use my house if you want)
The only t-shirts I ever want someone to pay money for (large is good, XL is fine too, just comfortably baggy)
An English Standard Version (ESV) bible that’s lightweight and small, ideally it would fit in a cargo pants pocket.
An xbox 360
a pair of pliers and an alan wrench set
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney for DS
Contra 4 for DS
Best Buy Gift Cards so I can buy an xbox 360
Pay for a few months of my web hosting:
I pay about $7 a month, so $84 for a year or $42 for 6 months.
an hour at an LA masseuse
cool science projects, like an uber-magnet
nerf guns (bigger is better, rapid fire is best) (ballzooka!)
Pandora One ($36 a year)
Pay for my Pandora “over the limit fee” ($0.99 a month, $12 a year). I listen to Pandora a LOT.
Some kind of Scifi Jello mold.

(Sometimes I slack on removing stuff, so if it’s been a while, you might want to make sure I don’t already have it.)
*My childhood pocket knife was an Uncle Henry, and I think it was either a Premium Signature or a Premium Stockman 3 blade folding knife. Ideally, you’d find me a pre-2004 (the company was sold in July 2004) made in the USA used knife. The new ones are cheaper, not as quality, and made in china. You would be AMAZING if you could find me my actual childhood knife, that would be one of the best gifts ever. You might start by talking to my mother about that. Don’t worry about sharpening it, I like doing that.
