Grant's present list!
Stuff that's reasonable to get:
One of those Costo Go-to-a-movie packages, which comes with popcorn and stuff
A gift certificate for a personal trainer - either for running or building muscle.
You remember back in the day, people used a thing called radio? Well now there's a fancy radio receiver that plugs into your laptop. That might be fun.
A nifty little tool.
A notalgic video game
A family game for our Nintendo Switch.
I have a whole list of games which apparently are family games that we can play with the girls:
- Death Squared: 1-4 players. Experiment to solve a puzzles.
- Heave Ho: 1-4 players. Work together to reach goals. Fun, but a little chaotic.
- Stardew Valley: 1-4 Players. Only 2 player couch co-op, but additional players can join from another console or a computer. Pixel Art. Farm simulator. Chill. Extremely well done game. Incredibly popular title around the world.
- Duck Game: 1-4 players. Like Smash bros, but with pixel art ducks. A little silly, but very well done.
- Kingdoms 2 Crowns: 1-2 players. Tower defense. Strategic. Pixel art.
- Part Time UFO: 1-2 players. Short, but fun, and full of puzzles.
- It Takes Two - apparently good for kids
I could try a fancy toque.
Market spice tea, free leaf or in single
use bags
more unusual tea
And finally, in this category - I tend to go through a pair of running shoes at least once a year. So a gift card to the Running room would work.
Reliable stuff that's always good (and consumable - you can get it every time!):
Peanut butter cake.
home made nanimo bar.
Purdy's Hedgehogs or Dark Chocolate!
Stuff that's a bit out of a reasonable price range:
The next generation of office camera is fancy fancy! And who wouldn't want to see me better?
An under the sink hot water dispenser for in the kitchen. (instant boiling water!)
Things which are harder to come by or into 'way expensive':
The whole family would benefit from a nice new microwave.
A 'reverse' C clamp - one that holds things apart.
A Variac. Either 120V or 240V is fine. 12 amp capacity.
You can't really buy it in Canada, but the Next gen Huawei phone would be fun to have.
A Tesla Powerwall would be great at protecting against power failures.
A commercial microwave, with crazy lots of power. This thing can replace the entire stove!
Winning lottery ticket. Don't go thinking you can get away with one of those ones which *might* win...
The Tesla Model X Long Range, 7 seater. Any colour.
Yamaha
FJR1300... But just check to make sure no one bought me the Tesla - I don't need both!
A nice camera.
