What are you going to buy yourself now that you know nobody else has bought it for you (Christmas 2007)?

sorta did it with 30 Rock season 1.

bought it as a gift for a family member, then decided to return it when I believed they may have bought it for me, or my brother.

They didn't, so I kept it.

My 'treats for me' shopping list is on the expensive side, and all geared toward turning my newish laptop into a usable working area:

tabloid size scanner
22 inch flat monitor that goes both portrait and landscape
big-ass external hd, like a thousand gigglebutts or so
wacom tablet, probably start with the larger 'bamboo fun' model

new couch or new bedroom furniture (both need replacing)
a big chunk of my amazon wishlist
magazine subscriptions

an effects pedal is a possibility for me too. as is I'm Alan Partidge series 1 DVD, Arrested Development (all 3 series DVD), and a new cricket bat.

Tom, could you add (Christmas 2007) to this question, as though it weren't long enough? It might be useful in future thread searches.

A GPS (was really hoping someone had bought me that) and everything that remains on my Amazon wishlist, including the Planet Earth DVDs and the special 2 disc edition of Tombstone.

Gracias! (xp)

I'm trying to think of music to get since everybody's afraid to buy me CDs anymore (and rightly so). The only thing that comes to mind is the Miles On the Corner box.

What I'd really like to get is the Janus Films collection, but I'm not made of enough money.

drugs

which ones?

Me? Maybe some knitting books and yarn. Stupid as it will end up with the mt everest of yarn which i already have.

i bought myself a very expensive cashmere hoodie last night because it was 40% off and when i looked at the website again today on a whim i saw it had been marked to 50% off adghjsdjgosdjgoisdjgi FUCK.

I bought Days of Being Wild on Ebay, I might buy Death Kit and Under The Sign of Saturn. Tonight I may watch Happy Together (It arrived today, I've never seen it and I love,love,love Wonk Kar Wai)

Also contemplating Godard and Bergman collections. And Raymond Carver Books.

I got best presents this year that I've gotten since Real Power Workshop.

I almost threw a couple of video games in there but remembered that I have two unponened doubles at home right now that I can hopefully exchange

cleanin' out the wishlist bitches

my wishlist is 434 items

I almost let mine turn into that kind of mess and then after one xmas/bday where I was utterly confused by a present that I had added a long time ago and completely forgotten about incl. why I was ever interested in it I realized you got to trim that shit back once in a while

I don't even remember what it was

I'm waiting for the day I win the lottery and can order it all with one-day shipping.

your kind of wishlist building is why amazon doesn't ever hold competitions to let a customer win their entire wishlist

that and the fact that they have $9,000 bullshit available now

I wasn't expecting the Twin Peaks thing at all, but my girlfriend got it for me! I am thinking about buying a stereo.

Oooh, I'd like him as well!

Oh shit, the coat! Nah, I'll skip.

if the guy was included i would totally let you have him

Hmm, yeah, he's hiding something... tiny I think.
