My mom called the other day and said she'd been asked by some of you fine folks for some ideas for Christmas, since it's coming up and since packages take 4 weeks to get here. So I thought I'd post some ideas!
First, on the left hand side of our blog, you will see a section that says "Send us stuff!" along with our address. Under that are two buttons for our Amazon wish lists. Basically, we picked out a bunch of stuff on Amazon.com we'd like, so if you click on the button it'll take you to those lists. Also, there is an option at the top of the list to sort by different criteria. If you sort by "priority" you'll see what we'd like most.
Okay, other stuff...
Candy - Josh is craving Sour Patch Kids or the bulk sour fruit salad. I'm craving Starburst, Skittles and Reese's Pieces. Go figure.
Conditioner - that's just for me :o) Biolage Hydratherapie Conditioning Balm or Fortetherapie Strengthening Conditioner. Cape Verde is DRY. My hair thanks you in advance.
Costumes - Ok all you Burners out there, a great Christmas gift would be to send us a set of costumes to wear for Carnival in February! Heck, you can send us our own costumes for all I care, we just want to have costumes!
Mary Kay face wash - I'm sure my Mary Kay lady Michelle would love to hear that you're shipping me something! There are two kinds - Normal/Dry and Combination/Oily. I could probably use one of each as the "seasons" change here. I could handle some decent eye cream too...man, I'm gettin' old...
Guinea Pig Shampoo - So we still haven't decided on a name for #2 yet, but that doesn't make them smell any better. Bunny Bath by Four Paws is a good one and is pretty cheap.
Guinea Pig Pellets - Since they EAT the piggies here, they don't care too much about what they feed them, so we can't find piggie food for our girls. There are two kinds that are supposed to be best for them:
http://www.kmshayloft.com/pellets.html#timothy - Kleenmama's Hayloft Timothy's Choice
or
Cavy Cuisine by Oxbow (I think this one is sold in Petco or Petsmart, not sure about the other)
Movies/TV shows - We'd love to have some "series" tv shows, like The Office or Grey's Anatomy (not necessarily those, but whatever is supposed to be good - like we know), that the rest of the world seems to love but which we never got into. Law and Order is always welcome of course. These are great for nights when we're too tired to watch a whole movie but too awake to go to sleep right away. And sick of reading.
Lotion - this is actually for Josh...they don't have any decent lotion here really and it's really dry here; his hands aren't happy. So nothing smelly.
Sunglasses - also for Josh, his broke. Nothing too girly. I still have all three pairs I came with.
Music - Can you say "mix tape?" Just stick some of your new fav mp3's on a cd or dvd and send it out already!
A McDonald's Cheeseburger - Do you think that would ship well?
VISITORS - this means YOU! Come see us!!!
More to come...

Okay, so I obviously can't afford to send you DVDs, but here are some series that Zach and I have been into lately, since you say you don't know what is good these days:
My Name is Earl
The Office (which you already mentioned)
Weeds
Big Bang Theory
How I Met Your Mother
Have you watched any series on abc.com? You can go there and watch past episodes of many shows on-line. Since your connection is fast, it shouldn't be a problem!!
Also, I thought of a name for your cute little guinea pig---how about Clio--she's the Greek muse of history. I'm sure that Meep and Clio (or another name you choose) will continue to bring joy into your lives--especially on those days when you need a little lift!!
Lots of love to you,
xoxoxoxoxo

Claude - We tried to watch them on line, but abc/cbs etc. only allows viewers in America to watch the full lengh episodes! Plus, when we watched the election on streaming video, it ate up almost half of our alotted bandwitdh for the month (we're only allowed to dowload 3gb a month).
3 packages en route! Some bedding for Muffin & her girlfriend, and bunches of food packets to help spice up the food rations. I should get more shipped this weekend. Enjoy!
