If you want to give me a gift for Christmas...
...or for my birthday, here are a few modest ideas:

Interactive books!  Owing to the thing I wrote (and am still working on) for National Novel Writing Month, I have a renewed interest in non-linear books.  I read the most common kind, Choose Your Own Adventure, a lot as a kid, and two people have mentioned #45, You Are A Shark, in particular as one that stuck with them, so getting a copy of that would be nice...but a more interesting interactive book--for example, one with an inventory and/or dice system--would be nice.  Or a graphic puzzle book--something like that.  (I've already bought the chick-lit novel Pretty Little Mistakes.)

Posters!  I've had mostly the same ones for a while now, and a change would be welcome.  My favorite subjects for posters are animals, imaginative scapes, and colorful geometric designs.

Magnets!  For use in a game I'm hoping to start for youths at the library.  Multicolored rows or turtles about an inch square would be ideal, but anything under 2.5 inches with no rotational symmetry would do

Some other ideas...  A mousepad with a wrist support?  A balaclava (ski mask?)  A sweater?  A cool T-shirt (no text, please)?  A new watch?   A fun bridge book?  A drawing journal?

Okay, that's all I can think of.  Anything's cool.  Be well, take care, happy holidays.
