Help Nuphoria get presents
on: April 29, 2010, 01:57:52 AM
Since we got stuck on t'other side of the world in a time warp of lovely mountain regions and returned home much later than expected, Nuphoria has not thought about her birthday May 1st)...this means that she hasn't dropped any oh-so-subtle hints or written a list (usually comes with links to the best deals!) which therefore means that I haven't asked the great gods of the internet to deliver her any shiny things  :oops:

At this rate, she won't be getting anything :ahhh :ahhh (we have a strict rule about no-clutter present giving) so please help stop the impending birthday disaster by listing things you think she may like  :think:

oh and just in case you don't get the urgency of this request
:ahhh HALP :ahhh

Olight M51 with a set of rechargeables.

Amazon has a smokin' price on them.   Totally love mine.

Something that I have been very happy with...and have been using every day since I got it...is a 12oz Klean Kanteen insulated widemouth - LINKY

I bought it as a replacement to replace the travel mug I have been using. I can toss it into a bag without worry of spillage.

(Isn't Nuph likely to read this thread and spoil her present? :think: :D )

Thanks  :tu: I'll have a rummage and see if she's got one already  :)

Hmmm, I like the look of that Klean Kanteen, that may be a good item for her as she's having yet another change of bottle love  :D Mind you her new insulated Maxped bottle bag rocks so maybe the insulated bottle would be redundant? (I might have to get one for me though  :D )

Nuph may well read this...or the edited list of possibilities I give her...we have a rather odd view of presents - we try not to give each other (or anyone else) something just for the sake of having a gift in shiny paper. It must be what the person actually wants and or needs. We have a very small living area and a LOT of stuff already! Also Nuph isn't so good at receiving suprises  :)

However, we have just had the most amazing holiday in the states which was my birthday present from her...so no pressure guys  :ahhh

A sodding huge kukri! >:D

I think that's more my cup of tea than hers  :D She'd never get it in her pocket...no good being a secret squirrel with no legs  :o :D

Good ideas so far guys...keep on thinking!

Oooh, didn't she just get an iphone?  Does she need any accessories for that?  Like one of the Speck cases?  Or one of the Switcheasy cases that come in particularly snappy color designs?  

Switch easy (Take a look at all their products..I like the Rebel cases myself)

LOL you lot know Nuph's taste pretty well don't you  :D

She has the rebel case already in black and red  :D

She's really hard to get presents for because if she wants something, she buys it for herself with no thought to us lesser mortals who need clues  :rant:  :D

It's a little generic, but how about some ITunes cards?  She could load up her Iphone with apps and stuff with one of those.

Another axe?  You can never have enough axes. :viking:

http://www.chainsawspeSmurfpillsts.co.uk/acatalog/copy_of_Husqvarna_hatchet_35cm.html

http://www.heinnie.com/Survival/Axes-&-Tomahawks/Marbles/Marbles-Hunter-Axe-No.-9/p-484-523-712-4614/
I think Dave (spork) said those hatchets were pretty marginal safety wise (why I never got one) :-\

I prefer you use my Porn name... ::)

The Safety axe model is the one I have experience with - AXE - the heads did not have tapered eyes...one was loose and slipped off before I even used it. I purchased two of them as "seconds"...but I expected them to be cosmetic issues...not poor design.

There may have been a redesign...you can see in the current photo that the eye has apparently been changed to a three lobe design (mine are a single oval), which I think is the same as the originals. I don't know if it was done properly and tapered like it should be.

I.think.we.may.have.cracked.it!

She had a brain fart and remembered a watch she wants! Phew!

On the plus side, I asked her to start thinking about next year (because it's one of those scary birthdays with a zero in it) and she said that she'd like a titanium zimmer frame with tritium inserts and a custom built knife ::) I'd better start saving!

Presents mostly sorted now...although suggestions for small things gratefully received.

And no, an F1 isn't among them...although I hear that Ryan has a "used" one for sale  :-[
