General Interests: Hiking, paddle boarding & outdoor fun, reading, cooking & pet-related awesomeness

Below are some things in particular that are useful or interesting to me. I also enjoy the previously undiscovered or unique surprise!

Clothing in General - Tops: medium or large (if long-sleeved & not tall)/6 tall; Bottoms: medium 6-8

I wear mostly dark (or neutral) solid colors that I can layer. Casual, soft, outdoor friendly. Truly tall/x-tall sizes are important for me even for most tops (like American Tall)! I generally prefer V or U neck to crew neck.

Weighted Therahoodie - Fleece Cozy Charcoal, XL - 10lbs ($158)

Two of the most loved & used items I own are my weighted blanket & lap mat, but sadly they aren't the most portable. This would be so wonderful!

Ariat Trouser Perfect Rise Aisha Wide Leg Jean ($80)

Size: standard fit, waist 29, x-long

Ariat Langdale Waterproof Boot ($179 - sale price)

Color: Charcoal; Size: 11 FM (medium full)

Useful Outdoor, Hiking or Paddle Boarding Gear

I'm outside a lot, especially hiking and paddle boarding. Any cool/unique/helpful gear that would make it better, easier and/or safer would be well loved, especially because I've been going on longer treks. I've even been thinking about camping (gasp!).

Black Diamond Spot 400-R Headlamp ($60)

I use a headlamp A LOT when walking the dogs in the winter and mine is dying fast. This one is supposed to be much brighter and all around excellent. Any color it comes in would be lovely.

Yeti Sidekick Dry 1L Gear Case ($40)

Would love to have one of these to keep my keys, phone & other small items dry but accessible while paddle boarding. I'm not really picky about the color, though pink would be my last choice.

Mammut Alpine Belt ($44)

Would be nice to have a dedicated (& good quality) belt for all my outdoor activities, like this one (or something similar). It doesn't have to be black.

Rip Tie Tangle Free Hair Ties ($13-30)

I've never tried these before, but they look interesting and potentially super useful for hiking/skiing/paddle boarding. As far as color goes--surprise me!

Dual Channel TENS Muscle Stimulator for Pain Relief, Rechargeable ($33)

Oddly when I've used one of these before, it helped my migraines. Weird, but true. Always looking for new paths for relief!

Paperlike Starter Collection ($60)

For iPad Air 10.9" (2020-2023)

Placemats & Napkins

I need some new placemats & napkins that we can use everyday—wash & use kind of linens. Simple, more on the modern side, no fringe. Happy with neutral colors or something that would coordinate with my everyday dishes that are white & cheery yellow.

Glass Sourdough Crock - King Arthur Flour ($40)

Classic Fresh Sourdough Starter - King Arthur Flour ($10)

Fun, useful, cool or unique GSP-related stuff

If you haven’t heard, I’m obsessed with my dogs, Jasper, Penelope Bean & Zeke and I spend almost every minute of every day with them. They are German Shorthaired Pointers (GSPs). Something for them or related to them is always fun!

GSP Hiking Hoodie - Size XL ($54)

Here's an example of something GSP that I would use/wear/enjoy.

Thomas Barbey's 'Over the Hill' - 24"x24" ($34, $89)

A print or stretched canvas would be equally enjoyed.

Thomas Barbey's 'One Too Many Drinks' - 24"x16" ($54, $89)

A print or stretched canvas would be equally enjoyed.

Books or Amazon/Kindle/Audible gift cards

I read a LOT of books of all sorts. I’m open to suggestions (I generally prefer Kindle for space saving reasons). I also buy a LOT of books to read on my Kindle or listen to on Audible, so those would be gift cards well used!

Scythe & Sparrow by Brynne Weaver - Kindle Edition ($9)

Release Date: Feb. 11, 2025

Gift Cards

Besides Amazon/Kindle/Audible, gift cards for Ariat, American Tall, Alo Yoga or places with outdoorsy gear (Backcountry, REI, etc.) would be used with enthusiasm!.
