2019 Christmas List!

With the amount of gray in my beard and recently reaching the ripe old age of 38, maybe it's time for me to help the Big Guy take a load off. But then if I'm only focused on giving, how can I give ample attention to receiving?! 

Got to be honest, I really debated sunsetting this tradition but after 12 years it's kind of thing, right?! Worst case scenario, I know Alex respects it 👊 and I'm bound and determined to not fall into the trap of not caring and saying "you don't know to worry about me" all holiday season.😜 Side note, is anyone besides my Christmas List still using Blogger?🤷‍♂️

  1. Xebex Air Bike. Got to keep that holiday weight off! To say this is my number one request for 2019 is an understatement. Killer black Friday deal on a high ticket item! https://www.getrxd.com/xebexairbike.html

2018 Wish List!

Well... I guess I didn't get my Christmas List out before Black Friday. Isn't Black Friday sometime in February?? Anywho... it is here just in time for Cyber Monday. And for your purchasing convenience I have attached simple hyperlinks that will take you RIGHT to the product. All you have to do is provide a credit card. Now I get that some of these items (as usual) might be a little burdensome on the wallet, so I in the name of Christmas, I am going to be doing my part. For every gift purchased you will get this memorial plaque below that commemorates your generosity this holiday season. The first six buyers will be able to view their commemorative plaque through 2019 in one of the frames currently holding pictures of my kids (example attached below). 

Happy Holidays!
  1. Nudie Jeans. Selvage. Slim. Stretch. Beautiful. https://www.nudiejeans.com/product/thin-finn-dry-twill
  2. Srixon 18 degree 2 iron. Stiff flex shaft. Buy this puppy during Cyber Monday and you could score a discount on a lot of sites! https://www.google.com/shopping/product/13211968188451739145?q=srixon+2+iron&safe=off&rlz=1CAACAV_enUS786US786&biw=1536&bih=662&prds=paur:ClkAsKraX5ZsH-m9KtowEqSyOrqYqp4XpL2Ba4xUDA0lwh0ixevHvqiEaEtrhadqQEt9su2VZzMoCs77gBTaGy8u2TfshfG6Q66D5hCFsob4qu-BySjekofofBIZAFPVH72cOUZi-aqQu0J09MrYZrFDI0FhWA&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi1of-vlPLeAhVHzlQKHSyNApUQ8wIIwAM
  3. Stance Socks. Simple. Cheap. Feed my addiction.
  4. Time to finish the garage gym! (and by the garage gym, meaning the basement because it's too frickin' cold to do anything in the garage. lol)
    1. Power rack. Best deal at repfitness.com or xtraining.com
    2. Bumper plates. Best deal at Vulcan Stength or xtraining.com.
    3. Rogue Bike at rogue.com. Solid deal just in time for the holidays

  6. Standby for more updates to come!

10 YEARS! Can you believe it?! You would think it was just yesterday that I was motivated to create the most amazing blog this side of How Does She. I have to say that it feels pretty good to have been inspiring people for a decade to ask for gifts that no one else would fathom doing. I mean the sky is the limit! Don't just ask for socks or a blender or even a vacuum... Think big! Why ask for the iPhone 8 when you can drop a grand on the iPhone X? Don't settle for your Honda Accord when a new Lexus looks sexier in the driveway. And thanks for the tickets to Hale Center Theater, but I was thinking more on the lines of a weekend in Dubai. It was that too much to ask?? Well, here you go 2017 and just in time for Black Friday!
  1. TaoTronics Noise Cancelling Headphones. No they're not $300 Beats. You're welcome. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075CBHN9M/ref=psdc_12097479011_t3_B075DDD8YJ
  2. Losei Bluetooth Earbuds. I mainly just want to wear these and walk down 5th Avenue in New. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072195WWQ/ref=twister_B072K4BYJ5?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
  3. Xebex Airbike. Yes, this was on the list last year but for some odd reason NO ONE took advantage of the Black Friday deal of $200 off! Luckily it's back again! https://www.getrxd.com/xebexairbike.html
  4. A Down Filled Puffer Coat. Blue or black. These from Abercrombie are cool (and 50% off right now!). I think I'm going to frost my tips and put on a puca shell necklace to complete the outfit. https://www.abercrombie.com/shop/us/p/down-filled-puffer-coat-10348320?seq=05&categoryId=12221&ofp=true
  5. I think it goes without saying the CrossFit obsession is real. 34" or Large Reebok Shorts, Reebok or Stance socks, and Large t-shirts never miss the mark. ;-)
  6. A HP Touchscreen desktop computer. This should do the trick. $150 off at Costco. https://www.costco.com/HP-Pavilion-24-b227c-23.8%22-Touchscreen-All-in-One-Desktop---Intel-Core-i5---1080p.product.100377696.html
  7. Tesla Roadster. 0-60 in 1.9 seconds. I know it technically won't be released until 2020, but I thought everyone needed ample time to save their pennies. $275 thousand... might wanna hang on to that one...

Yes, it is December 12th and yes I'm slacking this year. Buuuutttt... better late than never! And with the Christmas miracle of Amazon Prime, gifts can be shipped right to my doorstep in two days time! So here we go!

  1. A CrossFit rower or assault bike for my garage gym. Expensive, I know, but I'm willing to start a gofundme account where you can easily make your charitable contributions. http://www.getrxd.com/conditioning-agility/conditionstations.html?_vsrefdom=adwords&gclid=CNvy9K_A8NACFYRrfgodlb4NCg
  2. Athletic board-like shorts at reebok.com or the ever sweet, Stance socks. 
  3. Over the ear Bluetooth headphones. Yes Beats are $300, but these get great reviews! There is a cheaper version, but the brown ones are sexy. ;-) https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01A0EAYDI/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1481609400&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=over%2Bthe%2Bear%2Bbluetooth%2Bheadphones&th=1&psc=1
  4. You might be asking, do I need two different kinds of Bluetooth headphones? The short answer is yes. Trust me, they both serve unique purposes. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01BV2BPVS/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1481609588&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=bluetooth+headphones&dpPl=1&dpID=41n4HODIEiL&ref=plSrch
  5. Black puffer parka. Save the Duck has some cool ones at Nordstrom Rack that aren't too bad. 
  6. Some Olympic Lifting shoes. No Bull shoes and Reebok Legacy make some killer ones, but these are pretty sweet in blue or grey. http://m.adidas.com/us/powerlift.3-shoes/AQ3331.html
  7. Sad day for my Pebble smart watch. They are being discontinued. This rose gold one is a great price! https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01F28LH9C/ref=mp_s_a_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1481611956&sr=8-12&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=android%2Bsmartwatch&th=1&psc=1 There are other options. Only three requirements: 1. Sexy 2. Can text on it. 3. Can talk on it. 
Well, the tradition still lives on and you still have time! xoxo

HO, HO, HO! No Kimbra, this Christmas List is not just for you this year, it is for EVERYBODY! As I approach my mid-30's I have felt a lack of enthusiasm on the part of many of my family members. I feel they see this Christmas List and find the entertainment value in it, but fail to take the necessary action. That's ok. Its 2015 and a new opportunity to buy me boatloads of gifts and thus, investing in my love. Which takes me to.... drum roll, please... Ryan's 2015 CHRISTMAS WISHLIST!!!

  1. Pebble Time Steel Smartwatch (Gold w/ metal band) https://www.pebble.com/buy-pebble-time-steel-smartwatch (these can also be found anywhere from BestBuy to Amazon)
  2. Reebok CrossFit Apparel--mainly board-style shorts, size L or 34. Reebok One Series, Reebok Workout Ready, Reebok CrossFit are all appropriate options. reebok.com
  3. Vestal Roosevelt Chrono watch (black/gun/gold color) http://www.vestalwatch.com/roosevelt-chrono/d/2032_c_101_cl_4875 *Luckily for you guys, I have a vendor discount. An email to tiffany@vestalwatch.com gets you 40% off ;-)
  4. A Balance Board. It's basically a segway without handles. So cool! You can find them at balanceboard360.com , but if you email my boy Parker Winder (parker.winder@me.com), he'll get ya a killer discount!
  5. Golf woods (driver, mini driver, 2 or 3 woods) or hybrids. I typically like Taylor Made or Callaway. You can get some great deals at these company's used/refurbished sites. Trevor has done this. Uinta golf in Utah has a ton too. Regular length, stiff shaft. And yes, we're still talking about golf clubs. T
  6. Stance socks! I have an addiction. I love any of the athletic style, crew socks these guys throw out. You can find them at PacSun, Tilly's other skate shops or at stance.com
  7. For those of you who think I still wear western clothes... yeah, it's been about 15 years, and even then I wore them three times a year. A safe bet is anything from jackthreads.com, size large or 34-36 pants, depending on the fit. Sweaters, pants, jackets, and shirts... all good. And yes, Grandma, there are lots of puss pants on this site, as you like to refer to them. :-)
  8. Compression pants, aka tights. Keeps the legs nice and warm in cold gyms in the winter. Nike, Under Armour, Reebok or any generic brands at Eastbay or sporting goods stores works.
  9. Any of Tony Robbins CD's or mp3 downloads. anthonyrobbins.com (I have Personal Power and Get the Edge)
  10. Athletic-style casual shoes. Diadora is on point. You can find them at jackthreads.com but probably cheaper on an actual shoe site. Love these two colors.

2014 Wish List

Since today is December 7th I know everyone has been VERY CONCERNED about the release of the 2014 Christmas List. Be rest assured, this is a Christmas tradition that will never die! As you look through the years of each beautiful, wishlist post, one cannot help but admire the many obsessions and "kicks" I have enjoyed. Well... This year it is CrossFit and I'm drinking the koolaid in a major way--paleo friendly of course. Throw in some golf stuff and new clothes and I'll be set for 2015. Lastly, enjoy my lesbian pic of a Chaz Bono lookalike circa 2007 when it looked like my only "kicks" were  double cheeseburgers, camo shorts, and teva sandals with white crew socks. Enjoy!

1. Reebok Nano 4.0 shoes. Love the blue and yellow and star spangled ones.
3. Troy VTX bumper set. This should be the #1 want! ;-) The 340 lb set would life changing.
http://www.xtrainingequipment.com/Troy-VTX-Black-Bumper-Plates-Sets_c_39.html
4. Golf shirts - Medium
5. Clothes. I pretty much only shop at H&M, Nordstrom Rack, or Jack Threads (jackthreads.com). Size large on shirt. 34 pants.
Or...
7. ANYTHING from Rogue Fitness (roguefitness.com)
