Reference
Asterisks in titles indicate level of desire, * low to *** high. If it's at the bottom with no asterisks at all, it's not a priority yet (though you can if you want!); I just don't want to lose the information. Last updated Oct 16, 2024.
*** Toe spacers, size M
Toe spacers were recommended for me as a preventative measure, and this kind in particular has very good reviews across the board. Size medium, please!
*** Peppermint Life Savers
These are less available lately due to the ongoing peppermint shortage, and as we all know I am a mint fiend so I would welcome any assistance enabling my addiction!
*** HTTYD soundtrack(s)
I'd be happy to get all three movies, but if it's a choice between them then I'd prefer the first movie's music. CDs or mp3/digital files please, to add to my desktop library!
*** Shorter Gripstic
I currently have an orange 8.75in one, and could use a blue 5in (the purple 7.25in would also work). I'd use a green if I got it but I don't have a specific need for that one.
*** Funnel
I have been looking without success for a simple mid-sized funnel, with a diameter between 0.5in-1in on the small end, metal or plastic. Anything outside that range is too large or small for my needs. Solid is preferred but collapsible will work too.

*** Massage parlor gift certificate
Sometimes work is long and hard, and sometimes muscles get grumpy! Getting a massage is a rare, much-enjoyed treat. (Deep tissue massages are my favorite.)

** Epica CDs
Link is one source, I'm sure there are others. I would welcome any and all of their albums:Phantom Agony, Consign to Oblivion, Divine Conspiracy, Design Your Universe, Requiem for the Indifferent, Quantum Enigma, Holographic Principle, Omega, The Score
** Electric sealing wax furnace
Blue, purple, or black please! This is the best small-use electric furnace I've seen, and it would be great for situations in which I'd like to share the wax seal experience but an open flame is not permitted (library events, travel, etc.)
** Shaver lubricant
I've got less than half left of the bottle of oil my shaver came with, so it would be good to have a replacement on hand. As far as I have been able to tell, any highly refined mineral/paraffin oil will do nicely.
** 'Space' pen
Yes: retractable, medium point. No: yellow/gold body, plastic body, agency insignia. Refills would also be welcome, in any/all colors!
** GF snack/candy/food packages or subscriptions
I do not cook so please don't send me meal kits, but anything either edible as-is or microwavable would be enjoyed!
** Puzzle books
Variety value pack of old issues is linked; new issues or specific-puzzle-only books (crossword, sudoku, etc) are also welcome!
** Target gift cards
These go toward grabbing interesting new treats and foods to try on grocery runs!
* Fun nonbinary, ace, and/or cat t-shirts
Unisex L. I've worn through some of my older tshirts and could use a few new ones in my closet! Title themes are suggestions, but fun/interesting is the priority.
* Postage stamps
I go through about a book of stamps every month, so I can always use more! Animals, gardens, nature, seasons, landscapes, lighthouses, etc. are great but I am happy to use old stamps, forever stamps, postcard/global/uncommon denominations, whatever!
* Speks Magnet Toys
Crags or balls (in the cool color spectrum rather than warm) preferred over silicone/plastic toys. Gift cards (linked) also gladly accepted!
* Etsy gift cards
There is *always* something fun to be found on Etsy -- give me an excuse to go looking!
* Sprouts gift cards
Sprouts has a lot of gluten-free foods, albeit at typical GF prices, so it's an excellent choice for when I feel like doing a bit of splurging.
Carabiner clips
I don't need anything particularly fancy, just a few good-quality, sturdy carabiners measuring 2-3 inches along the longest side.
Sealing wax beads
More colors are always fun! I tend to use blues+other cool colors more than pinks/warm, for what that's worth, but I do use them all on occasion.(Wax beads can be ordered from many places; the link is just an example.)
Needles
Specifically, cross-stitch (blunt tapestry) and/or beading needles. Cross-stitch: 26s are my default size and the ones I go through fastest, but I do also use 24s and 28s. Beading: anything in the 12-15 range. Bonus option: any FirelIne bead thread!
Nivea lip balm
I go through a lot of lip balm out here in the desert, and unlike some other brands Nivea hasn't given me trouble! I like this one for the sunscreen aspect, but I'm also happy with their dark blue "Moisture" and the yellow "Milk and honey" for indoor use.
New camera
My current camera is a Kodak EasyShare Z730, and I love it! But it is showing its age (and the internal date system only goes up to 2025), so I am eventually going to want a replacement. Contact me if you want to talk details of what I like about it.
