====== Celti's Wishlist ====== | ====== Celti's Wishlist ====== |
===== External Wishlists ===== | ~~NOTOC~~ |
I'm always happy to get anything from my wishlists on [[https://www.gog.com/u/Celti/wishlist|Good Old Games]] (I'm particularly interested in [[https://www.gog.com/game/neverwinter_nights_enhanced_edition_digital_deluxe_edition|Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition]] at the moment), or [[http://a.co/7tdNh3X|Amazon]]. | |
===== Specific Items ===== | ===== Specific Items ===== |
These are individual items that have caught my desire, in no particular order. | These are individual items that have caught my desire, in no particular order of preference: |
? Nintendo Switch | ? Headphone Accessory Cable |
: Nintendo's [[https://www.nintendo.com/switch/|best console to date]]. I'd prefer the plain grey model, but colour is less important than other factors. | : The [[https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07HYMWSGY/|Shure RMCE-BT2]] is an accessory for my headphones that adds a microphone, remote control, and Bluetooth wireless capability to them. |
? Shure RMCE-BT1 accessory cable | ? A New e-Reader |
: It's [[http://www.shure.com/americas/products/accessories/earphones/earphone-headphone-cables/rmce-bt1|a replacement cable]] for my headphones that adds a microphone, remote control, and Bluetooth wireless capability to them. | : 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. |
? SodaStream | |
: Either the [[https://www.sodastreamusa.com/sodastream-fizzi-starter-kit-p882.aspx|Fizzi]] or the [[https://www.sodastreamusa.com/sodastream-source-starter-kit-p356.aspx|Source]], plus as many of the bottles, CO2 cylinders, and flavour syrups as you're willing to tack on (for flavours: Cola, “Fountain Mist”, anything citrus or cranberry). | |
/* ? Overcoat | |
: 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 of anyone I know. A simple canvas or leather duster would be great as well. */ | |

===== Perennial Favourites ===== | ===== Perennial Favourites ===== |
/* ? <span #clothes>Clothing</span> | |
: I'm hard enough on clothes that I'm perpetually in need of new ones. | |
? Pyjamas | |
: Lounge-and-sleepwear in soft fabrics with light shirts and long pants. Beyond that, I don't care so much about style if they look cute. | |
? Shirts | |
: Long– or short-sleeved blouses, button-ups, “sport” shirts, or similar tops (no polos, please!). I prefer fairly loose and draping/“flowy” garments. Between 2XL and 3XL, “tall” sizes preferred. I //generally// wear neutral or subdued colours, but if it looks cute I'll try something bolder. | |
? Trousers | |
: Black or grey slacks; again, loose and swishy garments preferred. Roughly a size 21 (42″ waist, 34″ inseam). | |
? Kilts | |
: Kilts and kilted skirts are both comfortable and fun to wear. [[https://www.utkilts.com/special-order-ultimate-modern-utility-kilt-with-comfort-waist/|UT Kilts]] makes the best utility kilt I have ever worn, and I would happily wear another in any colour (44″ waist, 24½″ length — this //must// be special-ordered, unfortunately). | |
? 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 of any variety (pocket Ts, long sleeves, &c.), 3XL or 2XL “Tall”. Knit boxers or boxer-briefs, in sizes matching the trousers above. For either, solid colours or //subtle// patterns, please; preferably dark.*/ | |
? Drinks | ? Drinks |
: 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. | : As always, any beverage you think i might find interesting will be appreciated.

: The [[https://shop.funraniumlabs.com/brands/BBotE.html|Black Blood of the Earth]] is the //best// coffee I have ever tasted, bar **none**.

? Whiskey | ? Whiskey |
: I'm mostly fond of Irish whiskey, although my ultimate favourite is [[http://penderyn.wales/|Penderyn Welsh whisky]].

? Liqueurs | ? Liqueurs |
: 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! | : Irish Mist is always a solid standby; Drambuie is fine; Bushmills Irish Honey is pretty good; Ballotin chocolate bourbon is strangely incredible.
