My Holiday List

For those folks who'd like to know what kind of holiday gifts would make me go SQUEE ...

My Amazon Books wishlist was updated last night. Type in "Elizabeth Barrette" (there were two, last I checked; mine is the central Illinois entry).

Other good bets are things that don't matter if duplicated:
Austrian crystal window prisms, suncatchers, other sparklies
Stickers, lasercuts, or paper for scrapbooking
Bookmarks
Things that glow in the dark

Unique things:
If you are a writer or artist and your work is not so widely available that I probably have it already, copies are most welcome. I love having things by people I know personally.
If you live far from Illinois, local arts or crafts are a good idea.
Tiny animals carved from semi-precious stone.

General parameters:
I think homemade gifts are cool.
I think gift cards are cool. (Favorite bookstores include Borders and Barnes & Noble. Favorite craft stores are Michael's and Hobby Lobby.)

My t-shirt size is Large.
My favorite color is blue, but I like most bright colors, and black. I hate pink.

Hobby Lobby, among other related chains, has extensive connections to abusive Christian dominionist groups.

Well, that's disturbing news.
