List of Things

I like shiny things, just like everybody else. Unlike a lot of other people however, I am also incredibly specific in the shiny things I desire, and the reasons for them. This makes gift giving a pain in the ass for those interested in the process.

I'm making this list for those important people in my life who wish to gift me things. Nothing on this list implies expectation of receipt - in fact, there's quite a few "pie in the sky" / "f-you money" kind of goodies on this list - but enough people have repeatedly asked for such a list that I figured it'd be good to just put it out there. Things are categorized for the sake of organization, and don't imply priority. Links, when present, are not affiliated with this site or myself; I'll never "double-dip" a gift-giver or reader like that.

Those who wish to gift me something from this list, already know how to ensure I receive it.


Donations, Causes, etc

In lieu of gifts, donations to the following causes are greatly appreciated:

    • Estimated price is ~$850k to $1.5m depending on township and neighborhood.
    • Yes, that price is for a "starter family home".

Smaller Things

Generally, smaller gifts are going to end up cluttering space or in a landfill if they aren't already on this list. The thought is appreciated, but a donation to one of my listed causes would do way more good.
