Annual Christmas wishlist

It's that time of the year again! The rain has start coming down and the stores have switched to Christmas window displays, so it must be shopping time. To simplify things for friends and family, below is a list of items I could use this year. Please don't feel compelled to get any of the below, I completely understand if you send a lump of coal.

  • A passport holder--something small but big enough to hold my passport, ids and credit cards. I already have a wallet that I really like, so don't really need another wallet. Something along the lines of this: http://www.executivegiftshoppe.com/211-5.html but not necessary in leather. Bonus points for something fair trade or eco-friendly.
  • A guillotine--but not the one you're thinking of. One of these: http://www.paper-source.com/cgi-bin/paper/item/12-Guillotine-Trimmer-Wide-Base/2903.013/489967.html I've recently gotten into bookbinding as a hobby and have most of the supplies I need, but it turns out bookboard is really hard to cut with normal scissors.
  • A cd wallet--I need to organize my cds and dvds. (http://www.amazon.com/Fellowes-Nylon-Wallet-224-Disc-Capacity/dp/B0000326O1)
  • a heavy duty umbrella--not necessary a big one (smaller is better for traveling) but something that can last forever and ever. I have a couple but they're pretty shoddy.
  • General stuff: sustainable, fair trade items; gift certificates (esp to sf or vancouver spas); donations to worthy causes; books (as always)
Thanks, and Merry Christmas!
