(Objectified, turns out, is a very very interesting documentary about products and the design and thought that goes into each and every product-from your alarm clock, to your bowl for breakfast, to technology and more.)
It's been going for six hours by now and is accumulating to a few inches already. It'll continue through tomorrow morning.
But, I don't think I've mentioned much of a Christmas list and if I did I said I was going to expand on it.
Here's a quick outline of things I'd potentially like for Christmas 2010.
The Boring List-Gift Cards

- Gap
- J. Crew
- Express

- Shawl collar sweaters-merino wool, cotton, cashmere
- Flannel shirts-Target, Club Monaco, J.Crew, Gap, Timberland, Banana Republic
- Socks-J.Crew calls them "Camp" socks I believe. They're very textured, marled looking. (meaning ex. black and white fibers woven together creating what could be tv fuzz looking)
- Thin ties-3" or less-wool, textured, herringbone or tweed in blacks, grays or browns. Maybe even some plaid textured ties.
- Bow Ties-Pierrepont Hicks at Martin Patrick
- Coffee-I've been looking for a higher quality four to six cup coffeemaker. They're hard to find, most are pretty cheap. (Black, stainless steel)
- Cashmere-not so much the normal v-neck or crew neck but a shawl collar or cardigan or hoodie--J. Crew cashmere
- Banana Republic-straight fit corduroy pants-Acorn color-31x32 (hopefully quality is consistent-tried one pair of 31x32 on in store and they actually worked. Normally BR 31x32 are too short.)-SALE NOW

Marmot Zeus Vest
$130, have seen it on sale
H&M
Shawl collar sweatshirt

H&M
Nordic Shawl Collar Sweaters
Ah, different. Just like 'em.
H&M

Navy, Brown
A very inexpensive but warm and comfortable piece of clothing. *Something Mark would probably like. Simple, good colors, cheap enough to wear to work if he needed.

Short sleeve graphic tee
Cheap and fun.
H&M
Charcoal or black button up cardigan with hood.
Wear it casual, wear it dressy with a patterned dress shirt and skinny tie.

General Ideas
- Banana Republic-you'd be very very safe there going there and getting just about anything.
- J. Crew-you're pretty safe here as well.
- Herberger's-I work there. We carry lots of stuff from men's to home to women's I'd buy for me or Katy
- Macy's-I work in the mall. I wander in there alot. I can find something Club Room or Timberland boots or Ralph Lauren or some cheap trendy stuff or expensive fashion.
- Twins, Timberwolves, Vikings tickets
- Home improvement money?
- Quarter zip sweaters-things that zip or button near my neck and don't lay down on my shoulders-rubbing on the back of my neck/head causing a headache
- Western shirts
- Skinny jeans
THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT FOR NOW
WATCH FOR UPDATES
