But if it were, here are some things that you might purchase for me that do not involve an Amazon wish list:
- A well-built/unusual fidget spinner/toy. Emphasis on manipulation rather than passive movement; I prefer things that let me/make me move my fingers
- Interesting snacks/candies/condiments/hot sauces
- Kitchen tweezers (like tongs, but much thinner, useful for manipulating certain types of foods) (like these guys https://www.amazon.com/Kuchenprofi-Extra-Long-12-Inch-Tweezer-Stainless/dp/B0000C8T92?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1)
- Crafting kits (like the Woobles crochet kits that are everywhere as of early 2025, or KiwiCo for adults)
- A nice heavy sweater, or possibly a soft scarf. Tom Baker length is unnecessary and frankly probably counterproductive.
- A decent basic wireless gaming controller that works with PCs. The PS5 Dualsense is supposed to be pretty good.
- A bluetooth sheet music page turner, iPad compatible. (https://www.mundtmusic.com/p-24090-irig-blueturn-compact-bluetooth-page-turner.aspx is one example, my stand partner uses it in the PVSO)
- A new stylish (colorful, interesting) wristband for my Fitbit Sense
- A whetstone kit; I've never been entirely happy with my electric sharpener
Things that might seem appropriate but that I would prefer that you not buy me without checking with me first:
- Unspecified kitchen gadgets.
- Board games.
- Books
(All of these are things I like, but I'm either trying to reduce the amount of storage space that they take up or I want to own only very specific curated examples. If you really want to get me something in these categories, please check with me first.)
