My Christmas list. Things I can’t afford to buy myself this year.
A buckwheat-filled zafu/zabuton combo (meditation cushions), in organic cotton, large. Dark blue or black.
A ceramic Kyocera chef’s knife (8”). I’ve long wanted to try these out in the kitchen.
An iPod U2 edition. Not because I’m a huge U2 fan these days, but because it is black.
The Lord of the Rings Extended Editions boxed set. All 3 movies in one box. My eyes will fall out of my head!
The original Star Trek series boxed set for Season 1. Isaac has never seen the original Star Trek! And there are probably many of the episodes that I have never seen complete and uncut; when I watched them on local late-night syndicated re-runs, they were pretty badlly chopped up to fit in more commercials.
The new leather-bound hardcover edition of The Lord of the Rings (the 50th anniversary edition). The list price is $100, but Amazon has it for $60.
The bonus track “Farewell to Lorien” from the limited-edition Two Towers audio CD. Since this does not seem to be available for purchase in CD form or from iTunes (which, strangely, seems to have only the soundtrack for the first and third movies), this may be difficult.
Anything else from my Amazon wish list, which includes items of all different price ranges including movies, political books, programming books, math books, etc.
