My Wish List

(me: male, early 20's)

- New hoodie. Comfy please, and trendy (not Adidas or Nike). E.g. Brooklyn Cloth.

- Apple AirTag. Useful for attaching to often-lost things, like backpack.

- Instax Mini instant camera with a pack of extra film.

- Mechanical keyboard (e.g. Keychron).

- JBL Go 3 portable speaker.

- Little drone to fly around. Camera optional.

- Pair of skate shoes. E.g. Adidas, Vans. Colors must pop.

Whatever it is, it better not take up any space.

I have realized that a really good open world video game with lots of replay value has an amazing value. $60 at 200 hours of gameplay works out to $0.30/hour, which I am struggling to find anything else I am interested in that has a similar fun-to-cost ratio.

On the flip side, if the game sucks, the average goes way down. Fortunately I'm a sucker for decent open world games so there's a relatively low chance for me.

The older I get, the more I appreciate a donation in my name.

That said, a nice bottle of booze is something I really appreciate but would never splurge on myself.

New beard trimmer, old one is on its last leg. Or those nice fury slippers to walk around the house in.

A nice handwritten card would also do.

Some tea or fun books like "Hyperbole and a Half". Also, sharing Christmas with my family.
