To start off, (and make things easy), items left on any of the 3 wedding registries are great ideas for Christmas presents for both Adam and myself... (although items from Macy's should maybe not be sent to Adam, as they're mostly decorative stuffs). Target has cooking items (good gifts for Kari), games (good for either of us), and some household things (good for Adam). BBB has the usual kitchen stuffs, some cooking gadgets, and a few vaguely decorative things.
Since we just moved into an unfurnished, uncarpeted condo, other household items are also useful:
* Medium/Long narrow rugs that could be used in hallways or in the tiny strip between bed and dressers/walls. (Color coordination or at least non-clashing would be awesome, but not required) ;)
* Floor lamps that don't look like something out of a college dorm room. (The living room area has no overhead light.) (Floor lamps have been provided by Beth, our former landlady) :)
* a "cat condo" or similar type structure for Mika to be able to sit on or in next to a window without knocking things off tables.
* Wall mounting mirrors (especially a full-length mirror), since the new place doesn't have any.
* More of our "everyday" china: Woodhill (pattern) by Citation. We have 4 each of dinner plates, salad plates, bowls, and teacups (the original set he got from his grandmother), and then we have two "onion soup bowls". Anything else to finish off the set would be greatly appreciated, especially serveware!
* Hygrometer (to measure INDOOR humidity, specifically)
* Tap lights (or similar style button-lights) to go in the closets
*
Kari's list:
* Gaming dice: (d20, d10, d6, d4, any other commonly used role playing dice) Matched sets are nifty, but the only one I seem to need lots of at the moment are d10s.
* Any/all books in the Northwoods series (Kate & Anders, etc.)
* Mercedes Lackey books (any new ones)
* Downhill Skis (this is a good one for Adam too)
* Ski Goggles / mask (ditto for Adam)
* Well insulated (non-"driving") winter gloves
* Cat-who books
* Shinys from Lia Sophia
* Accounting software (for me OR Adam - either tracking household finances or for his attempted small business)
* Steampunk stuffs
Items on Adam's list:
* DLP projector
* DVR with DVD burner
* Monitor for Adam to hook his laptop to (same size as mine or larger)
* Downhill Skis
* Ski Goggles / mask
* Denim work shirts: size L, preferably with snaps instead of buttons
* Insulated denim coat for working outside
* Power tools (he's a fan of DeWalt and Milwaukee)
* 1TB+ external USB hard drive(s)
* Accounting software (non-Microsoft)
