Oogiem Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 It would be great to get him a gambeson or fencing jacket, but I need to shop around a bit. .... My own mom is getting hand-knitted socks, two pairs if I can find the time. I'm sending my grandparents back in the states a patchwork blanket I knitted. I see you knit, are you on Ravelry? I'm trying to finish some socks for a friend I started 3 years ago! Also on the gambeson, modern or historical? If historical Reconstructing History has several good patterns for accurate ones.

Also on the gambeson, modern or historical? If historical Reconstructing History has several good patterns for accurate ones. Yep, I'm on there as ZenGwen too! I don't get on it as much as I should lately though, I should really upload some pictures of my current projects.A historical one would be really cool, but a modern one would be okay too. We (well, he - I'm not at the moment, but will get back into it at some point) do longsword combat. It's not attached to a re-enactment group or anything, but it is all stuff our members worked out from medieval German texts. So there's a mix of modern and reenactment equipment going around. I have a couple friends who produce such things professionally, eventually I'll get one made for him... but right now, just being able to afford something would be cool.

DustMite Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 sometimes a great gift idea is getting tix to an event you and [other person] would enjoy, like a concert, sporting event, accordion competition, etc. that way it's a gift that keeps on giving. win-win, all the way around. Tickets to an accordion competition=good.Some sort of lessons might also be good (piano lessons are on my Christmas list) but only if you know the other person wants them. Quote Link to comment
Gainsdalf the Whey Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 This needs a bump. I got stocking stuffer gifts for the wifey but am still looking for a better idea for the main gift than I currently have.Some sort of lessons might also be good (piano lessons are on my Christmas list) but only if you know the other person wants them.

catspaw Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Cooking lessons. Definitely get the wives cooking lessons. The dudes should be doing cooking too.

CapN_Tommy_Sunshine Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 I always want more musical instruments or other miscellaneous accessories, but I definitely do not need anything else. There are way too many instruments in my house getting neglected. I cannot be trusted to go into a guitar shop without a chaperone. I go in for a couple of picks, and come out with a guitar. It's crazy. Not much else as far as material things. Being a single guy with fairly simple needs, I don't have too big of a "wish list". Usually if I want something, I just get it (if it is affordable, and I can justify the expenditure, of course). Quote Link to comment

Shortkaik Posted December 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Oh, and some massage gift certificates.This is on my wish list as well. I'm not a huge fan of gift certificates, but this is one of the exceptions to that rule! (As opposed to the gift certificates to, say, Walmart, which is so unspecific and almost-but-not-quite as nice as just giving straight up cash)I started building up an Amazon Wish List. Now my Amazon recommendations are all funny - Barbell collars, frilly aprons, LEGO Harry Potter 2 (added to list! Yes!), recording equipment. Who? What?

scotticus Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 My list is pretty short: a merino henley from outlier and/or some plates for when SL5x5 gets heavier in the new year.That would more than cover it. Honestly, I'm pretty content. Quote Link to comment
