Hey,

I have a girlfriend who likes to spend money on me (not an issue), but I am a guy who is somewhat minimalistic in terms of what I like materially. As you can see, this creates an issue when the question, "What do you want for Christmas?" comes up.

I just need help from you guys in determining what to ask for haha.

My interets include
1. Starcraft
2. Techonology
3. Theology (I'm majoring in biblical literature and minoring in ancient history)

I already have a blackwidow keyboard, a steelseries v2 headset and a mouse that suffices for SC2. I'm just kinda at a loss

Any good books you guys recommend or a few albums that are must listens? idk I'm at a completely loss haha.

People who want power shouldn't have it.

She's someone who likes to buy stuff for someone. She'd come up with something on her own and chances are I would like it, but would have rather her gotten me a visa giftcard. idk like I want to tell her something. I might just have her get me a day9 shirt and a theology book for reading.

You're back!

On a related note, ask for magnets. Magnets will satisfy anyone from any age range for countless hours. Magnets are cheap and can be used for a variety of practical and not-so-practical purposes.
$300 worth of magnets should do nicely.

If you're looking for good music, the last really good album I listened to was Remmings by Anoice (heard of them? neither had I before this album). here's a random song off the album:



Even though I usually like music with at least some vocals, I found this instrumental album pretty good.

If you haven't done the must-listens that are more obvious, though, then of course get those ones since knowledge of them is a matter of cultural literacy. These would be The Dark Side of the Moon, Back in Black, Thriller, Nevermind, and Abbey Road, to name a few.

edit: some Richard Dawkins might be right up your alley if you're looking for books =P

Ya magnets. Lol.

I usually ask for CDs or Movies. They aren't big gifts and I get at least a couple CD/movies that I love enough to ask other people to pay for them. Any general clothing thing is cool too, I mean you probably dress for your gf anyways.
Try another route paperboy.

good books. I know a lot of good books

one of my favourites is God loves laughter by willaim sears. also along the lines of what you are majoring in. You might like theif in the night by the same author william sears. he also did a really good book called release the sun. Its rather short but is good for what its worth.

I have like 50 other books on my suggest to people list. but those I think you might like

Yeah :D If I get a part or so from each person I usually get gifts from, I could build a pc and kick in some of my own cash.

As far as the album I'll probably just go buy it myself haha

See that's my problem, if I want something, I just go get it like a big boy. I often have everything I need before the Christmas season. Droid bionic? Yup just bought it, can't ask for that either

Ask for a bunch of those bucky balls magnets. They're little speres that come in packs of 216 (6x6x6 cube) or 125 (5x5x5). With a bunch of them, you could build all sorts of awesome shit. Maybe some other magnet stuff for some variety, then link them all together

No one knows how magnets work, I believe it has something to do with God's powers. im sure they are mentioned somewhere in the bible. they really do align directly with your interests.
I can only play starcraft when I am shit canned. IPXZERG is a god.
