If you are participating in the Secret Santa exchange this year, this is the thread where you get to post ideas of what someone could get for you. General price range is $20-25. One post per person please as to not clutter the thread too much. Use the edit button to add to your list if you think of something else later on.

Good ideas are particular books, music, DVDs, or games, and most defintely t-shirt sizes.

My list:

Medium t-shirts are cool, although I have a million
R/c stuff is cool, I like the Havoc Helicopters and my 2 dogs love chasing them. lol
Anything car related is definitely cool, especially RX7 or Miata related.
Iron Man 1 or 2 on DVD
Inception on DVD
Gift Cards are cool: WalMart, Target, Best Buy, Advance Auto Parts, Amazon
No iTunes gift cards though, I still haven't used the ones I have. lol

Don't need:
Hats
Porn

-Ooga Horn
-Meguiars Headlight Restoration Kit (New, not used please)
-Rechargeable LED work light, same as what drew is asking, and what nick got last year, cause I got it for him...like this one here (http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10051&productId=202025654&langId=-1&catalogId=10053&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=202025654&cm_mmc=shopping-_-googlebase-_-D25X-_-202025654)
-I drive an NB, so any cool little odds and ends for my car would be cool
- Cool car art, whether it be die cast models or poster size pictures of race cars or classic cars and what not.
- Now this is a little out of the price range, but I would be extremely thankful! (http://cgi.ebay.com/MILWAUKEE-14-4V-DRILL-AND-FLESHLIGHT-SET-CASE-/160514420370?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item255f67ae92#ht_500wt_1156)
DVD's
-Inception - Comes out on 12/7
-Scott Pilgrim vs. The World - Out on 11/9
-Toy Story 3 - Comes out on 11/02
-Thumbsucker - Already out, but kind of a pain to find, although could be found on amazon more than likely.

Fleshlight Inserts
Porn
Shirts
Hats
Porn
Movie Passes

Here are a few ideas, some recycled from my last year's list:

* This book is at the TOP of my list! Amazon.com: How to Build a High-Performance Mazda Miata MX-5 (Motorbooks Workshop) (9780760337059): Keith Tanner: Books
* Shift knob
* Amazon.com gift certificate - I buy everything on Amazon!
* Redline Oil Products - MT90 for the transmission, 75W90 for the diff. It's always good to have a few quarts of this stuff sitting around.
* I've got the "carbon fiber" radio surround on my NB that apparently came out of the 10AE cars. If someone could find the shifter surround that would be awesome! I got the radio surround for $15 on eBay.
* Shift boots - the leather/pleather on both my cars is a little ratty.
* A new dipstick - mine, like many others, has the ring at the top broken off
* NB center console - black. The one in Thunder has the typical broken hinge. Extra points if you find an 01+ console!

Daniel - didn't realize you were my secret santa last year. Thanks for the light! It works great.

Also, here is a gift idea for those of you that are struggling for ideas. I got this book last year for Xmas...very cool book about the origins and history of the Miata: Amazon.com: Miata 20 Years (9780760333860): Larry Edsall: Books

I used the term Drew loosely to apply to Drew and all people currently nailing his mom.

Fixed - and thanks!

Maybe this isn't as hard as it seems, haven't participated in one dealing with gearheads.

I like..
Clothing. Shirts, hats, whatever. Funnier the better.
Odds and ends for an NA. Flashlights in the cig lighter, change holders, bling bling, whatev.
I collect Zippos and hip flasks.
Some kinda soft top restoration goop.

I don't need..
Porn (I know, right?)
vacuum hose, spare tires, armor all stuff. Got enough of those.

Pretty simple. Hell, the last change holder I had was $5 and lasted me for five years. It's the simple things in life. Maybe I'll get LazyB, I can giftcard some people into unconsciousness.

I'm all about random car stuff. Good posters/banners are cool. iTunes gift cards are the worst idea possible because I don't buy music :lol:

I think having James, Daniel, and me in the same room at the same time is enough of a gift for everyone else. You will get to see history in the making. Probably followed by a fight and maybe some cuddling.

That is the most awesome gift anyone could ever receive.

Also, not everyone who signed up is in this thread!

Hey, if you get

Amazon.com: Back to the Future: Flux Capacitor Replica Unlimited Edition: Toys & Games

and

Amazon.com: Uranium Ore: Industrial & Scientific

We could all have one hell of a night! I need to check my math again though to make sure that's enough to produce 1.21 gigawatts.

If my person doesn't sign up, I'm getting them porn. Not just any porn - I'm going to choose the type that they are least likely to enjoy. Consider yourself warned ;)

By the way, since I've been asked a couple of times, DO NOT TAG YOUR GIFTS! (Unless you really want to.) That's why it's Secret Santa. :)
