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.kuchenprofiusa.com/products/tweezer-tongs?_pos=1&_sid=4045e6b8d&_ss=r)
- 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 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) I'm a little dubious about this one; I feel like you need the largest possible tablet to really make it worthwhile, and there are some issues with the way music is edited that make single-page display a bit awkward, but it might still be a fun toy.
- 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.)
