This that and the other thing. Though there might be more of this than that. And little of the other things. Maybe.

Blatant Gift Solicitation

Since I was accused *ahem T* of asking for an MP3 player for my birthday when I really wasn't, I decided to be obnoxious and compile a list. Sure some things might be a ..tad cheeky, but when you're being blatant you might as well list what you really want.

For your monetary convience, I've divided my gifts into a variety of categories based on price point. Also, most links are to Amazon.com mainly for picture and ISBN help. I've never actually bought anything from Amazon so I don't have any feelings about them, one way or another. Yall only have left, better get shopping!

Why a Zen? Why not an IPOD? If you going to ask for something why not ask for one of the best?

Thanks Nikki or should I say, You're Welcome! ;)

I'm younger than you Monkeyboy! I'll be 30. So that means 30 gifts, right? Nee, back me up here! :)

And you're absolutely right, t! I have updated my list accordingly. Not sure why I didn't include an iPod on the list. Guess I was trying to be frugal. Yeah, Frugal! :)

I got 30 gifts for my 30th bday...although, 9 were once 1 sweatshirt of my husband's which was cut up into 9 pieces. I hated that stupid ugly sweatshirt....oh, and 12 were roses.

Oh, and G, no need to be frugal at 30 when others (read: not me) are buying!

Nice. And so helpful, the way you added links to the individual gifts- really cuts down on shopping time...

Well I figured I needed to add the links so that non-U2 peeps could figure out what I was talking about. I mean, how else will I get exactly what I want??? ;)
