hmph.
about two months ago, kurt and i talked about not getting each other christmas gifts since we were going to spend money at ikea. and cuz we're both impossible to buy for. anyhow, he went ahead and "forgot" and got me something last week. so i've been wracking my brain since then to come up with something suitable for him. i'm all about surprise, utilitarian gifts. no socks, sweaters, or gift cards (though, now with the knitting in full force, i might end up with a batch of socks to be handed out next year). so, after an hour of clicking around on amazon, i came up with two things which i think he'll rather enjoy. i hope.
