The “Holdays” (Christmas) are right around the corner and I always struggle to think up some things I absolutely “need.” Throughout the year situations will come up where you think to yourself “man, I wish I had one of those ________ right now.” I do it all the time. Of course, I’ll forget each and every one of those situations when birthdays and Christmases approach. That won’t happen this time. For my own entertainment here are the five gifts I’d love to get.

1. Golf Lessons

It seems only natural that a business major spend some time on the golf course. Interestingly enough my brother, the musician, has spent much more time golfing than I have. I figure I’m running low on expensive hobbies and this is one I’d enjoy taking up.

2. CamelBak hydration backpack

I’ve realized that I need to carry a few things when I go skiing (extra clothes, food, water) and there simply aren’t enough pockets in my jacket(s). Close, but not enough. So, a compact (black) ‘hydration pack’ would make for an excellent accessory this winter. We wouldn’t want me to get dehydrated now, would we?

3. Digital Camera

I’ve had the same digital camera for nearly three years now and obviously technology has evolved. Any idea how much my memory stick holds? 128MB. I’m pretty sure you can’t buy them that small anymore. Anyway, I’d love a smaller, slimmer camera this year because I plan on taking a lot of pictures- especially when I visit China.

4. Xbox 360

I already have a Nintendo 64 and a PlayStation 2 but I love the Xbox games. Well, I love Halo. In any case, it’s been a while since I had a new toy to play with and I figure, why not now?

5. Skydiving trip

If someone wanted to go skydiving and take me with them I can’t say I’d be opposed. I’ve thought about doing something crazy like this for some time now and would enjoy the experience.

And what about yourself? Pick five things you’d love to have more than anything and leave your comments. Having a hard time coming up with a gift for yourself or someone in your life? Try out this neat tool: Imagini Gift Finder.

Personally, I want to hear from Paul, Tyme, Scrivs, Colin, Gomeler, and Noah.
