Reference
Last updated May 30, 2026. List is in order of preference; asterisks in titles indicate level of desire, *** high down to * low. Things at the bottom with no asterisks at all are not an immediate priority but still always enjoyed!
*** Non-stick ceramic pan set
Our current non-stick pans have started flaking, and we would like to replace them with ceramic ones. Link is an example, but others would be fine as long as the frying pans have similarly shallow slopes.
*** FireLine fishing thread
I'm going to make a bead curtain for Maddie's catio door this summer! It would be great to have a bulk spool for experimentation purposes, but multiple small spools would also work. 4 or 6lb in crystal, please!
*** Dog flirt pole with replaceable lures
Turns out Carol loves a flirt pole, but the cat one we have is not safe for her to be playing with. Link is an example but others would be fine, so long as the lures are something safe for her to 'kill' (chew on for a bit) when we're done playing.
*** Leverage Redemption series on dvd
I haven't actually found an official source so far -- dvds are less popular these days, sadly -- but I have the original Leverage series on dvd and I would very much like to get the followup series to go with it.
** Sturdy cotton bathrobe/dressing gown
My housemate has a really nice, heavy cotton bathobe that feels a lot like wearing a weighted blanket, and I'm jealous! (Also it would make showers simpler in our not-very-large bathroom.) Bonus points for non-white, if you can find it.
** Loaf pan(s)
We keep making banana 'cake' because we don't have any bread loaf pans. Please feel free to fix that!
** Address labels (or stamp)
I still send a lot of mail, and I've been missing the address stamp I had when I was at the apartment! I'd love to get a new one for the house I'm now in, or adhesive address labels -- either works.
** Scratching post and/or cat tree
The cat distribution system has spoken; Axel and I will be adopting a kitten in June once she's old enough for release. We'll pull/share toys and treats from Maddie's room, but kitten will need her own jungle gym + scratching post!
** Bent/Cranked-neck Paring Chisel
Link is an example. I'll use it for scraping shelves at work (current scraper is annoyingly bendy), so the bent handle is highly preferred. If you can find a 1.5 or 2in version, that would be even better!
** Bespoke cloth masks
I lost one of my cloth masks while tracking down a stray kitten recently, and my remaining four are getting a bit worn anyway, so I would love to have some more. Whatever pattern Mom used last time around has worked great, if she still has that.
* Nail scrub brush
I'm digging around in the dirt a lot more now that I have a yard project and a dog to play with. It would be handy to have a scrub brush that can get the dirt out from under my nails a little faster.

* Kalos and/or Wellermen CDs
Kalos were lovely to listen to at a library concert, so I'd like to have their music at hand. As of Jan 2025, they have two albums out (Harbour, Headland). The Wellermen also have two albums out (and a gorgeous shirt design!): www.thewellermen.com/shop
* HTTYD3 (Hidden World), Cats (musical), and/or TSO's Night Castle albums
The deluxe version of HTTYD3 would be ideal, in CD or mp3/digital file form to complete the set in my desktop library. I would also love to have Cats + the Trans-Siberian Orchestra Night Castle 2-disc set if anyone can find 'em (same format preferences).
Stationery supplies
As I find stationery stuff I would like, I stick it on my JetPens wishlist. The inks were my top colors from every different type of ink they sell at the time I went through them, but feel free to click over and peruse other colors for any type!
Peppermint Life Savers
I am a mint fiend, and these are a longtime love. Feel free to bury me in them, I would be delighted!
Postage stamps
I go through about a book of stamps every month, so I can always use more! I am happy to use old (numbered) stamps, forever stamps, postcard/global/uncommon denominations, etc.
Nivea lip balm
I go through a lot of lip balm out here in the desert, and unlike some other brands Nivea hasn't given me trouble! Non-tinted only, please; any of the light blue 15 SPF "Smoothness", dark blue "Moisture", and yellow "Milk and honey" are great.
