The “Holdays” (Christmas) are right around the corner and I always struggle to think up some things I absolutely “need.” Throughout the year situations will come up where you think to yourself “man, I wish I had one of those ________ right now.” I do it all the time. Of course, I’ll forget each and every one of those situations when birthdays and Christmases approach. That won’t happen this time. For my own entertainment here are the five gifts I’d love to get.
1. Golf Lessons
It seems only natural that a business major spend some time on the golf course. Interestingly enough my brother, the musician, has spent much more time golfing than I have. I figure I’m running low on expensive hobbies and this is one I’d enjoy taking up.
2. CamelBak hydration backpack
I’ve realized that I need to carry a few things when I go skiing (extra clothes, food, water) and there simply aren’t enough pockets in my jacket(s). Close, but not enough. So, a compact (black) ‘hydration pack’ would make for an excellent accessory this winter. We wouldn’t want me to get dehydrated now, would we?
3. Digital Camera
I’ve had the same digital camera for nearly three years now and obviously technology has evolved. Any idea how much my memory stick holds? 128MB. I’m pretty sure you can’t buy them that small anymore. Anyway, I’d love a smaller, slimmer camera this year because I plan on taking a lot of pictures- especially when I visit China.
4. Xbox 360
I already have a Nintendo 64 and a PlayStation 2 but I love the Xbox games. Well, I love Halo. In any case, it’s been a while since I had a new toy to play with and I figure, why not now?
5. Skydiving trip
If someone wanted to go skydiving and take me with them I can’t say I’d be opposed. I’ve thought about doing something crazy like this for some time now and would enjoy the experience.
And what about yourself? Pick five things you’d love to have more than anything and leave your comments. Having a hard time coming up with a gift for yourself or someone in your life? Try out this neat tool: Imagini Gift Finder.
Personally, I want to hear from Paul, Tyme, Scrivs, Colin, Gomeler, and Noah.
A 360 is not a bad choice! Especially since the Halo 3 public beta will be coming out this coming spring. Signups are on Monday! I think I might actually take a day off of work if I get the chance to get that public beta.
I hear after tasting the joys of a xbox 360, life is never the same…
Welp, I touched a PS3 today and the graphics were pretty slick. I did enjoy the Xbox 360 but I don’t find football to be representative of the experience.. so, I’ll have to take your word for it.
Skydiving would be a great idea, I always wanted to do high altitude skydiving from say.. 10 miles up. I remember reading about the first person to fall from space, some astronaut sky dove from something like 60 miles and was falling faster than the speed of sound before he really hit the atmosphere. How cool would that be, make a sonic boom with your body.
Wow that’s an interesting story… I guess it doesn’t matter how high I am, just far enough to fall, open a parachute and have some fun.
