====== Celti's Wishlist ====== | ====== Celti's Wishlist ====== |
===== Specific Items ===== | ===== Specific Items ===== |
These are individual things that have caught my eye, in rough order of “want the most” to “want not quite as much”. | These are individual items that have caught my desire, in no particular order of preference: |
? Pyramid Magazine subscription | ? Headphone Accessory Cable |
: Or more precisely: a [[http://www.warehouse23.com/products/gift-certificate|gift certificate from Warehouse 23]] in the amount of $20, $40, or $70 so that I can extend my current subscription by 3, 6, or 12 months. | : The [[https://www.shure.com/en-US/products/accessories/rmce-bt2|Shure RMCE-BT2]] is an accessory for my headphones that adds a microphone, remote control, and Bluetooth wireless capability to them. |
? The Black Blood of the Earth | ? Nintendo Switch Pro Controller |
: The [[https://shop.funraniumlabs.com/brands/BBotE.html|Black Blood of the Earth]] is the best coffee I have ever tasted, bar none. There is their [[https://shop.funraniumlabs.com/products/goat-of-science-1000ml-bbote.html|1000ml “large-size” bottle]], a [[https://shop.funraniumlabs.com/products/bbote-sampler-ten-50ml-test-tubes.html|modestly-priced sampler pack of their typical varieties]], another [[https://shop.funraniumlabs.com/products/bbote-sampler-ii-the-limited-runs.html|identically-priced sampler of their limited runs]], or a [[https://shop.funraniumlabs.com/products/blood-of-the-harpy-750ml.html|special edition 750ml bottle]] I'd really enjoy. | : The [[https://smile.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Pro-Controller/dp/B01NAWKYZ0|Nintendo Switch Pro Controller]] is... a controller for the Nintendo Switch, I'm really not sure what else to say here. Don't be afraid to duplicate this one, the Switch can connect up to eight of them! |
? New Nintendo 3DS XL | ? A New e-Reader |
: The “new” is part of the model name, not just “I want a new one”. Any colour is fine. | : My trusty old Nook is old and decrepit, and these days Barnes & Noble isn't the end-all, be-all of ebooks. No, that's Amazon, but I don't //like// Amazon, so instead I want to replace it with a [[https://kobobooks.com|Kobo]] e-reader. Ideally, I'd like the [[https://us.kobobooks.com/products/kobo-forma|Kobo Forma]], but its little sibling, the [[https://us.kobobooks.com/products/kobo-libra-h2o|Kobo Libra H2O]] would do nearly as well. |
? DEFCON Soundtrack | |
: Subtitled “Fear — Madness — Loss”, I'd love to have this soundtrack to the game DEFCON in CD format. I've already got the download version of it, which is slightly different — I'm now looking for the three-track version, ideally on CD or in FLAC format. | ===== Nintendo Switch Games ===== |
? Shure RMCE accessory cable | I've actually got a gaming console for once, now I need the games for it! Ranked //roughly// order of preference: |
: It's a spare cable for my earphones that adds a microphone and remote control to them. | - [[https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/the-legend-of-zelda-links-awakening-switch|The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]] |

| ===== External Wishlists ===== |
| I'm always happy to get anything from my wishlist on [[http://a.co/7tdNh3X|Amazon]]. |
| |
===== Perennial Favourites ===== | ===== Perennial Favourites ===== |
/* ? <span #clothes>Clothing</span> | |
: I'm hard enough on clothes that I'm usually in need of new ones. | |
? Shirts | |
: Short-sleeved button-ups, dress shirts, or “fun” button-ups (bowling shirts, Hawaiian shirts, etc.) — no polos, please. | |
: Size 20 neck, or between 2XL and 3XL — “tall” sizes strongly preferred. | |
? Pants | |
: Black¸ grey, or khaki slacks, or “linesman's” jeans in blue or black. 34″ inseam, 42″ or 44″ waist. | |
? Socks | |
: These [[https://www.utkilts.com/black-kilt-hose/|knit hose from UT Kilts]] are absolutely the //best socks I have ever worn.// They’re cool in the summer, warm even wading through the snow, have enough padding to prevent blisters and just flat-out //comfortable//. I linked the black ones, but they also have a variety of other colours — I'd be happy with black, grey, cream, or green. | |
? Underclothes | |
: Soft t-shirts and knit boxers are always welcome. T-shirt size 3XL, please, though I can do 2XL “Tall” as well. Boxers... just whatever says it'll match the pants sizes above. | |
? Overwear | |
: I'm finding myself in need of a new coat with more elegance than a hoodie. I would //adore// one of these [[http://trove.shop-pro.jp/?pid=108048769|modernised haori in wool and ventile]], but I realise that the cost and shipping probably puts that out of reach. A simple duster, wool or leather, would be fine by me as well. | |
? Kilts | |
: The [[http://www.utkilts.com/special-order-utk-ultimate-modern-utility-kilt-with-comfort-waist/|UT Kilts Ultimate Modern Utility Kilt]] in dark khaki or black. Waist size 44, length 24.5; fair warning, my length has to be special-ordered.*/ | |
? Drinks | ? Drinks |
: As always, any beverage you think I might find interesting: I like mead, hard cider, whiskey, absinthe, some liqueurs, and exotic teas and coffees. | : As always, any beverage you think i might find interesting will be appreciated. In general, i like teas and coffees (both exotic and ordinary); ciders, ginger beers, and root beers (both hard and soft); whisk(e)y, rum, mead, gin, absinthe, and a variety of other spirits, liqueurs, and cordials. |
? Coffee | : Some specifics include: |
: The [[https://shop.funraniumlabs.com/brands/BBotE.html|Black Blood of the Earth]] is the best coffee I have ever tasted, bar none. There is a [[https://shop.funraniumlabs.com/products/bbote-sampler-ten-50ml-test-tubes.html|modestly-priced sampler pack of their typical varieties]], and an [[https://shop.funraniumlabs.com/products/bbote-sampler-ii-the-limited-runs.html|identically-priced sampler of their limited runs]]. | ? The Black Blood of the Earth |
| : The [[https://shop.funraniumlabs.com/brands/BBotE.html|Black Blood of the Earth]] is the //best// coffee i have ever tasted. There is their [[https://shop.funraniumlabs.com/products/goat-of-science-1000ml-bbote.html|1000ml “large-size” bottle]], a [[https://shop.funraniumlabs.com/products/bbote-sampler-ten-50ml-test-tubes.html|modestly-priced sampler pack of their typical varieties]], another [[https://shop.funraniumlabs.com/products/bbote-sampler-ii-the-limited-runs.html|identically-priced sampler of their limited runs]], or a [[https://shop.funraniumlabs.com/products/blood-of-the-harpy-750ml.html|special edition 750ml bottle]] I'd really enjoy. |
? Mead | ? Mead |
: Honestly, unless you brew your own or know someone who does, don't bother — the commercial stuff is crap. If you think you've found something that's not, though... I'm always up for a pleasant surprise! | : In the interests of honesty, all of my particular favourites are home-brewed. If you think you've found something to match, though, I'm always up for a pleasant surprise! |
? Whiskey | ? Whiskey |
: I'm mostly fond of Irish whiskey, although my favourite is Penderyn Welsh Whiskey. Scotch is good if it's not too peaty. | : I'm mostly fond of Irish whiskeys, although my ultimate favourite is [[http://penderyn.wales/|Penderyn Welsh whisky]]. Scotch is good if it's not too peaty (definitely no Islay malts, please!). |
? Liqueurs | ? Liqueurs |
: Irish Mist is always a solid standby; Drambuie is fine; Bushmills Irish Honey is pretty good. I like a pretty wide variety, though — feel free to surprise me! | : Irish Mist is always a solid standby; Drambuie is fine; Bushmills Irish Honey is pretty good; Ballotin chocolate bourbon is strangely incredible. Baileys will be used in coffee in place of cream and sugar, and be gone within days. I like a //very// wide variety, though — feel free to surprise me! |
? Absinthe | ? Absinthe |
: I'm a sucker for good absinthe. I'd particularly like to try [[http://pacificdistillery.com/index.php/our-spirits/pacifique-absinthe|Pacifique Absinthe Verte Supérieure]], made and bottled in Washington. | : I'm a sucker for good absinthe.

? Hard cider | ? Hard cider |

? Gift cards | ? Gift cards |
: If nothing else gift cards and cash will always be spent, particularly [[https://secure.newegg.com/GiftCard/EntryScreen.aspx|Newegg]], [[https://play.google.com/intl/en_us/about/giftcards/|Google Play]], [[https://www.amazon.com/gift-cards/|Amazon]], [[https://www.barnesandnoble.com/b/gift-cards/|Barnes & Noble]], [[http://www.warehouse23.com/products/gift-certificate|Warehouse 23]], or Fry's Electronics[(frys>In-store only, alas. You'd think the premier electronics store would join the digital age already!)] — or just [[https://giftcards.frysfood.com/|Fry's grocery]], as the car is always hungry for gas. | : Gift cards will //always// get spent, of course. If you want something you know i'll particularly enjoy, consider: |

| * Fry's Electronics (in-store only[(Alas, you'd think the premier electronics store would join the digital age already!)]) or [[https://secure.newegg.com/GiftCard/EntryScreen.aspx|Newegg]] (electronics and other goodies!) |
