Books.
My parents kept asking me what I wanted for Christmas, and I couldn't think of anything. Then I finally remembered that books are pretty great gifts because they're actually something you can gift, and it's something people don't think about often enough.

Just for reference, everyone playing is a college grad. Philosophy, Biology, Psychology, Graphic Design, Law, Physics, and a few more. Only reason I say that is because we'd like something that is at least a little challenging. Doesn't have to be off the wall hard, but none of those "family" games will work that well most likely.

I have to shop for my wife yet, too, which is an exercise in frustration. She never wants anything.
The variations on people's immune systems is so weird. I have a friend that gets sick ALL the time. I get sick MAYBE once a year. I take precautions during times of general higher frequency of sickness, but it really is staggering how often some people get sick. I don't think i've had a "cold" for been "sick" for about three years now.

If I don't, then my sinuses slowly clog during the night, then I mouthbreathe, and that vastly reduces the quality of sleep.

edit: either I got Sam sick or he got me sick Poor kiddo is unwell.
