Christmas Gifts -- 2015

My family always asks me to share my Christmas list. In fact, all of us do that and it really helps.
My 2015 Christmas list is still in progress but will be updated here, and will be linked at my "Top 10 Lists" page.

The list for my immediate family members:
  • Moleskin cahiers, legendary notebooks; shrink-wrapped packages of 3, each with 80 squared pages, 13 x 21 cm, black ISBN: 978-88-8370-496-3
  • Precise rolling ball pens, fine, black ink
  • a bottle of Edradour scotch, aged 10 years is fine (least expensive of the various ages)
  • LED flashlights (I can never have too many)
  • Fawlty Towers: The Complete Collection Remastered
  • packs of AA and AAA batteries (brand names only, please)
  • bike lights, front/rear; Walmart special
  • reflective tape for bikes
  • Western shirt, Hawaiian shirt (size: medium)
  • beige socks, Hanes underwear (my thoughts on underwear have evolved) 
  • 100 shares of Halcon common stock (ticker symbol HK) (please do not substitute MDU for HK)
  • Matchbox Tesla 
  • Gift cards, McDonalds
  • no books, please
The list for rich, distant relatives, who I've not seen in ages and may not even know exist, and for those immediate family members who win the lottery between now and December 23, 2015:
  • Tesla (any model) 
  • VPI - Classic Signature Turntable
  • the Beatles stereo vinyl box set, 14 albums, 
  • iPhone (any model) 
  • Apple Watch (any model -- preferably one of the more expensive options, excludes the Sports Watch)
  • a set of Cubelets
  • 30-speed, carbon-frame bike, racing/touring (any brand name, preferably with a French-sounding name)
  • bike lights, front/read; NiteRider Lumina, max lumens one can afford, example here
  • ten Bakken mineral acres anywhere in the area of Watford City, or 1,000 Bakken mineral acres formerly owned by OXY USA 
  • 100 shares of Apple stock (ticker symbol: AAPL)
