Wishing Wall

Gift Suggestions for Jim Davies

People are always asking what I would like to get for a gift, so I made this page. When I think of something I want, I add it to this page.

Note: by clicking on the links to buy, I get 15% for the books and 5% for everything else. So if you want to get me a gift, use the link and I get some money too! If there is no link, you can search powell's or amazon in the boxes at the bottom of the screen and I get 10% and 5% respectively. The sections have items roughly in order of how much I want them. You can buy almost anything on Amazon, including music. Thanks!

What I want more than anything:


Manoover (a board game) http://gamepuzzles.com/abstract.htm#MV

Robot Chicken: Star Wars - Episode II
Laugh It Up Fuzzball: Family Guy Three-Pack (prefer it on (Canadian) iTunes)

 


Stuff I can always use:

Mach 3 razor blades

Scented Candles

Speed Stick (I only want the unscented, non-gel)

Things Our House Needs

Dining Room Chairs (we'd like to pick them, though)

Videogames (I have a playstation 2 and a gameboy advance):

Oddworld: Munch's (sic) Oddysee on the Game Boy Advance

iTunes albums (I'm done with CDs)

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are in Canada, you can gift me CDs through Canadian iTunes (use the account I share with my wife, vanessa.c.davies@gmail.com). If, however, you live outside of Canada, you cannot gift someone in Canada anything, so please do not waste your money. In that case, CDs and DVDs are your only option.
