Tait Lifto - My Gift Wishlist

Every year, I have a birthday (duh) on November 29 and we celebrate Christmas. Well, if you are in the gift giving mood, here is a handy guide. I call it, my wish list. Items that I would enjoy. This is not an all inclusive list, just a few ideas (some are cost prohibitive).

Dallas Stars Back to Top

Have you seen some of my Dallas Stars Autographs on my autographs page? Or how about some of my pictures on the Dallas Stars page?
Dallas Stars Neon Sign		Dallas Stars Golf Bag
Dallas Stars coordinated room. Check out the drapes!		Dallas Stars hanging lamp
Dallas Stars Game Time Watch is updateable each season and keeps the current Stars' schedule including Home/Away, time, date, etc. Also, the Star Spangled Banner plays at the start of each game.

Okay, I must admit that I am a HUGE Dallas Stars fan, so anything with Dallas Stars on it is loved by me. These items here are just some very unique ones that I've spotted and thought, "Wow, that's cool." Find Dallas Stars stuff on eBay

2005 is the year of the next generation of console. The XBox 360 will be released in November 2005 in two flavors: one for $299 that is just the basic console and then another model for $399 that includes hundreds of dollars of accessories. The basic model is probably not worth buying as you'll end up spending much more just on accessories to get you where you want to be. This item is expected to be a sellout during the holidays - pre-orders are being taken now.



Of course, no console is complete without GAMES. Here are some games that I'm interested in:
		Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Advanced War Fighter
		BattleField 2: Modern Combat
		Gears of War

If the shoe fits, where it, right? The following products are for geeks and only geeks. The sad thing is, they both made me laugh when I saw them and I actually wanted them! I'm a geek - the shoes and pocket protector fit. I own it.

This Sony handheld computer is so cool - it's a real laptop, but so very tiny. Check it out.		Alpine IVA-D300: This advanced DVD Player includes the ability for the electronic buttons to simulate the feel of real buttons.

The ultimate in a PC Gaming Desk is found in the GameDeck by MayFly. The GameDeck is sturdy and well positioned to give all kinds of leg room while allowing easy access to the carefully positioned controls. The GameDeck has a hinged set of arms that hold throttles, racing wheels, joysticks, etc during gameplay then retract upwards to reveal a keyboard/mouse desk beneath for typing needs. This is just awesome - although pricey at around $1500. www.thegamedeck.com.

My very own Slurpee Machine? Oh, yeah!!!!! www.taylorproducts.net		Folding Poker Tables (better than table toppers - it's already a table!) http://www.cardroomsupply.com/cardroomsupply/pokertables.html

Digital Surround Sound (DTS) Headphones. Not only can you savor sound without disturbing your neighbors, but now you get it in sweet Surround Sound where you can hear your movies or XBox games the way they are intended: DTS and 5.1 Surround Sound. SWEET! Buy at Epinions

		Nokia 770 Wireless, widescreen, tablet Internet device designed to go online via any Wi-Fi hot spot or Bluetooth phone.

		Same idea, but more recent - the new Pioneer Wireless Dolby Digital 5.1 Headphones (SE-DIR800C) promise to deliver quite a sound without the usual wireless hiss for about $400

But, the best of all is the setup that has XBox's name on - 'cause of course, that's the primary reason I want these to begin with. The Pioneer SE-XB1 is the product of choice. Check out this sweet ride.

Watching TV on a watch? Oh yeah - what time is it? Time for Jeopardy! thecoolstop.com

And what would life be like without the Star Wars Ultimate Collector's Edition Lego sets? These are pricy - starting well over $100. My favorites in order from most favorite to least are: X-Wing See my current Star Wars Legos collection
