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!

2013 Christmas Wishlist

Can you believe it is already the 5th Anniversary of my Christmas Wish List?! I can't. This year's list was exceptionally hard to create. I'm truly proud of my ability to buy things for myself this year, so I had to really dig deep to come up with some fresh ideas. So put up the tree, throw some chestnuts on the fire, and bundle up because the gifts aren't going to buy themselves this year! Introducing Ryan's 2013 Wishlist!

1. P90X3 Deluxe Edition http://www.beachbody.com/product/fitness_programs/p90x3-workout.do?code=SEMB_GOOGLE_X3&gclid=COPSya2h6roCFShyQgodXB0AIA
2. New Ogio backpack (love this one!)
   
3. Sottomarino Oblo leather-band watch (currently 50% off) http://precisiontimeco.com/sm90030-a
4. H&M clothes. Anything size medium shirt, 32/32 pants. http://www.hm.com/us/
5. Abercrombie & Fitch ski hat/jacket or other clothes (they're making a comeback and often 50% off ;)
6. Golf shirts, pants, or belt.
7. Reebok Crossfit Shoes http://shop.reebok.com/us/product/men-reebok-crossfit-nano-speed-shoes/ER666?cid=V46659&breadcrumb=svZu2Z1z12xfwZ1z13070Z1z11zrf
8. Workout shirts/shorts
9. 10 lb Weighted Medicine Ball w/handles (like this: https://www.google.com/shopping/product/5149277785780389614?safe=off&es_sm=93&biw=1241&bih=567&sclient=psy-ab&q=veloce+10lb&oq=veloce+10lb&pbx=1&ei=1uuHUuWyGqa5iwL2qID4Bw&ved=0CG0QpiswAg
10. Callaway XHot Driver cover. Like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/200986131923?lpid=82
11. UFC MMA weighted gloves (2 lb each) http://www.walmart.com/ip/15084629?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=3&adid=22222222227000589096&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=13690087870&wl4=&wl5=pla&wl6=34446358030&veh=sem

Pending the Mayans weren't correct in their prophesy of the end of the world, we will all be spending Christmas gathered around the tree, singing carols, and most importantly giving me gifts. I learned something this year. I read the "Love Languages" book and found that mine is gifts--fancy that! So if you are thinking that something sentimental would be ideal this holiday season... nu uh. Maybe a kind word of appreciation... nope. My love language is much more superficial and at the end of the day that's what Christmas is all about--showing me love. :) So break out your checkbooks, rack up your credit cards, and storm the malls, because I'm back baby with Ryan's 2012 Christmas List!

1. Gigagolf Pursuit Forged Irons. I need a regular length, stiff shaft (I know that sounds like a personal problem, just using the lingo). http://www.gigagolf.com/club_detailsHTML.jhtml?manufacturer=GigaGolf&groupnum=MI-GGPT02-SET
2. Pinemeadow Command QTi  "2 hybrid" club. Regular length, stiff shaft. http://www.pinemeadowgolf.com/golf-clubs/hybrids/command.q.ti.hybrid
3. Any cool golf gear, practice stuff, etc.
4. Sweet snowboarding coat/pants. I am a Medium jacket, and 32/31 ish pants.
5. ASUS vivobook. 11.6" 500 GB hardrive. Can be found a lot of places, including Sam's Club. http://www.hsn.com/electronics/asus-vivobook-11-6-led-touchscreen-windows-8-core-i3-4gb-ram-500gb-hdd-laptop-bundle_pf-228336_xp.aspx?&mr:referralID=9256ca46-3fc3-11e2-97b3-001b2166becc&rdr=1&cm_mmc=Shopping%20Engine-_-PLA-_-Electronics-_-6980014
6. New clothes. My sizes have changed again. Look at last year's list for my goto stores. I am a medium shirt, 32" waist pant.
7. New church clothes/suit. My smaller stuff is big on me now. Perryellis.com is great (42 Reg jacket, 32/30 pant) and Men's Warehouse has buy one suit, get one free (2 suits for $200). Their slim, Euro fit styles like Mark Ecko or English Laundry would be good. http://www.menswearhouse.com/shop/Home_12751_12001_-1_N_
8. Any new trendy, extreme home fitness workout or gear. Sports Authority, Dicks, and even Walmart has stuff.
9. A really good church book
10. A really good self improvement book or audio set. Love Ziglar, Dale Carnegie, Og Mandino, Napoleon Hill, Maxwell, or any of the old school guys.
11. A bench press set with weights
12. An adjustable dumbbell set. Weilder or Powerblocks make some good ones. Would like them to go up to 200 lbs of resistance, but 100 lbs is okay too. Really any brand would be well received--even Gold's Gym. https://www.google.com/shopping/product/13727056015475435527?q=adjustable%20dumbbell%20set&hl=en&safe=off&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&bpcl=39650382&biw=1241&bih=584&sa=X&ei=eM3AUIbXMuvDiwL7yICIBg&ved=0CGMQ8wIwAA
13. When in doubt ask Em, she knows me best. :)
