Moose's Wish List
I apologize for the length of this - it's really intended to give an idea of my taste and the sorts of things I like, rather than me trying to be greedy.
If you wish to know sizes, whether or not I already have something, my favorite styles or authors, etc..., please contact Bill.
Also, Bill and I have added a family wishlist for those things that either we both want (and would therefore make good
presents for either of us) or for those who would rather buy something a little bigger for the family as a whole. Be sure to check it out!
- I LOVE my gym membership; it is awesome! It is also, sadly, expensive over the long haul. I pay $39 a month, so gift certificates to World Gym
in Peachtree City OR cash to pay for it is always appreciated.
- Gym clothes - sleeveless shirts and long loose fitting yoga style pants (2XL); Target carries my favorite line of these. Also a pair of jogging
pants and/or a good exercise hoodie to keep me warm in colder months would be nice.
- Dumbbells for home
- A belly dance scarf (preferably in purple and with lots of jingles!) for those times when I can make my belly dance class
- I would love love love a Wii Fit system so I can get in my exercise on those days when I can't make the gym. Of course, I don't actually own
a Wii yet.
- Biggest Loser workout soundtrack, as well as their Simple Swaps book
- I'd love you forever if you got me a membership to Massage
Envy, or even just a few pre-paid massages.
- I'm Disney crazy. I love all things Disney, especially DisneyWorld. Disney Dollars or pre-paid tickets or room reservations would be dreamy!
- A complete bound set of the Jane Austen novels would be lovely
- Any or all of the Christopher Moore books
- Neil Gaiman - I've really just fallen in love with some of his stuff, particularly the stuff aimed more at juvenile fiction
- I dream of a Kindle SO much. I'd like it even better if it actually came with a Netflix-style subscription service rather than having to purchase
books, but I digress.
- iPhone, the Missing Manual
- The one downside to losing so much weight is that my clothes are falling off me. I can't even tell you what size I am any more as it has changed too much
recently. My favorite stores for shopping at include Lane Bryant, Sears, JCPenny, and LL Bean. Just about anything would be lovely,
though I am hoping to have slightly more stylish and tailored things in the future as I'm tired of always looking so sloppy and oversized. Gift certificates
are always appreciated.
- Some additional matching pieces for my tea set, so I have enough tea cups for everyone plus some plates for snacks and a few serving dishes. The pattern is
Johnson Brothers Old Britain Castles Pink. One place I've found them is at Gift
Collector, but you might well be able to find the pieces cheaper somewhere else. I really want 4 more tea cups and 4 more saucers, plus 8 dessert plates,
a pair of candy dishes, and a sandwich tray.
- A spa pillow to lean my head on while relaxing in the tub, like this or this
- A massaging back rest with a light for reading in bed
- Some original artwork; I love subtle things, particularly ones with texture or substance, and I love stained glass and carved wood. My favorite style of art is
impressionistic, though not necessarily classical impressionism, and I generally hate modern. Obviously nothing that would be inappropriate for children
will do :-)
- Speaking of artwork, any prints (preferably signed) or even original pieces (yeah, right!) by Thomas "Tom" Canty. The only one I have is "White Raven", which
Ginger gave me for our 11th anniversary. Here are a few that I've managed to track down:
- Wood hangers for my closet - I'd really like some natural wood (no dark stains on the wood, please, or they won't match the rest of the closet)
shirt hangers - the kinds without the clips on them to hang pants, just arms to hang shirts. Preferably with no-skid stuff on them, but that's
certainly negotiable. Target has had some beautiful ones that I love, but I can't find them online now.
- A portable battery pack for my iPhone so I can charge it on the go; I saw one at the Apple Store that gave 23 hours of battery life and one at
Brookstone that was 40 or something. I don't really care as long as I can plug it into my iPhone for those times when I'm not near a charger.
- And speaking of chargers for iPhones, my car charger has died. And I'd love one that I can plug into a wall (as opposed to my computer). They had a
nifty one at the Apple Store that was a clock/nightstand charger so you had a travel clock and charger all in one.
- I'd love any/all of the animated Disney/Pixar/DreamWorks/etc.. movies on Blu-ray, particularly if they also come with the DVD version for the
car. I'd really love a full set one day, even the "direct to home" ones. Sadly, it
would take too long right now to list all the ones I have or the ones I am missing. If you are interested, a gift card to Best Buy always works
well or just call Bill for advice.
- A full-size digital piano with full-size keys and a full, 88-key keyboard and with weighted keys (I miss having my piano!); no special voices or features needed,
though a damper pedal and a stand would be nice, as would a headphone jack to I can practice without disturbing anyone. Yes, I realize that these are horribly
expensive and, no, I don't expect to ever get one but I can dream, can't I? Here's the one I'm dreaming of:
a Yamaha YDP223 88-Key Graded Hammer Piano. I've even started saving money in a box
for my "digital piano" fund, so if you'd like to contribute directly to the fund, feel free! I even found one at the local music store that's pretty
nice for only $900.
