Dear Santa,
I'm doing well this year, skip me and give my stuff to someone who needs it. All I want for christmas is a ticket back home to see friends and family, and I got impatient and bought it for myself. :)

Ok, I have an amazon wishlist, but I figured I'd augment and comment on it here for friends and family. I will probably update this entry a couple of times. I'll start with the usual, "don't spend much, if you must get me something." I've been blessed with pretty much all I need.
A general gift giving guide (I do get to pontificate, this is a blog), I tend to go for:
- Something people would enjoy, but wouldn't buy themselves. (Sadly, for me, that is something like socks.)
- Something from their list that is both fun or interesting.
- non-durable goods - Things that get used up make nice gifts too. (Socks again, chocolate, balsamic vinegar, cheap plastic cutting boards.)
I've put some cooking supplies on the list. One missing item is a Flavour Shaker. I'd like one of these, but they're not available in this country. (They won't even ship them here.) Maybe next year.
Update: Apparently, proleno.com ships the Flavour Shaker to the US - but it looks like it might be pricey.
