This is my /wish page. Insipired by Taylor Town's.

Friends and family have described me as difficult to shop for. When I need something, I do research and buy the best thing for my needs in my budget. It's also just hard to surprise people with a gift in the age of the Internet.

This is a list of things I would like but don't have an urgent need for, or can't justify getting right now vs something else.

This /wish page is a service for if you need an idea for me. Don't break the bank for a gift for me... unless you really feel like it, but maybe coordinate with me first before doing so. Otherwise a cheaper item on the list can act as a nice surprise.
