Disclaimer: I'm not that materialistic. Okay, maybe a little bit. But hey, stimulating the economy creates more jobs and a better GDP, which would lead me to a job, which in turn leads to higher morale, which leads this world to a better place. See - so there's a reason to go out and buy this crap. While my original wish-list might have some items that are far-fetched, here are some realistic items that Reeg could use for a sub-Curtis Jackson. And I'll probably just take care of the original list myself lol.
BBB has this for $40, and that's before the 20% discount! I remember when these came out a few years back, and they had some motion detection issues. I assume now they've improved on that, so now it's time to improve on that plain Palmolive bottle. [Side note - I hate how dish-washing soap is either 1. tough on grease, 2. anti-bacterial, 3. anti-odor or 4. for dry-skin. I get so flustered when it's time to buy soap again. Why can't they just be all of the above??]
Hooded Moto Jacket
I cheated a bit. This retails for $58, but there's a 20% floating out there, bringing this to $46.40! I'm digging the asymmetrical zipper and the wine color. I'm probably never going to ride a motorcycle, but at least I could rock the outerwear lol.
Decoded - Jay-Z
For the list price of $35 [and absoltutely no one pays MSRP on a book], I could add this to the coffee table. Not really an autobiography, this book is a book of rhymes [no Nas] and memoirs. Since it's selling for less than $20 here, might as well add The Big Payback to the cart too. That's another book I want to peep. Uh-oh, I might as well get an iPad now lol.
Titleist Pro-V1x Personalized Golf Balls
If I could afford it, this would be my ball. But at $50/dozen, that averages to over $4 a ball. My game doesn't justify that price point, as I currently play a $2.50/ball [Nike One Tour Ds]. It might not seem like a big difference, but it you play often the cost of balls could add up. Or I could just get better and stop losing them lol. Right not personalization is 20% off, so I could get them stamped REEGSTA for only $40/dozen! Or maybe GETAJOB instead hahaha. Tempting.
PlayStation 3 Dual Shock Controller
Currently $44, I figured if I have a controller, it would really really expedite the purchase of a PS3. The default system only comes with one you know. Then again, not sure if this really works. I used to buy vinyl back in the day in anticipation of getting some turntables. And I still don't have my 1200s. I guess I can't really fool myself.
Giants World Series Collector's Edition 2010
I can't lie, I bought this as a gift for someone and I kinda want to keep it. I probably wouldn't even watch it, and I sworn off buying media, but this should be the exception. I got it below $40, but now it's $45? Just like the Giants, they probably have a dynamic pricing model haha. Now if only I cover find a newspaper cover for my edition of the Chronicle.
New Era Golden State Warriors Fitted Hat
That's a fugazi link, as I couldn't directly find somewhere to buy this particular colorway. While typically not a fan of hats that aren't the teams primary colors, I figured if you already have that taken care of, why not get alternate color schemes? But rival teams are a NO-NO, like a SF hat in the A's green/yellow. That's just nasty. 7 5/8 please, and this shouldn't retail for more than $35. Use my Lids card for an additional 20% off!
Kenzo L'eau Par Pour Homme
Before I settled on getting my YSL fragrance, this was a close runner-up. And why not have a rotation of colognes? I seriously think I still have Polo Sport and Issey Miyake in my bathroom somewhere haha. Quick tip to the gents out there: for your scent to last longer, you should moisturize the areas about 5 minutes before you apply the spray. I can't help you if you want other things to last longer though. Cool looking bottle too huh?
Andis Cordless Beard Trimmer
If I had a stocking, I would want you to stuff it with this $22 trimmer. If you have seen me in the past couple weeks, I've been rocking the facial hair. Partly because I didn't feel like shaving after my tooth extraction, partly because it's winter-mode, and partly because I'm about to be laid off and I'm prepping for my unemployed look. While it was cool after a week, it just became nappy afterward, if that's even possible. Why this particular brand? Uh because theStyleBlogger uses it.
If all else fails, I would gladly accept gift cards to the following [in order]: eBay, Nike, Apple, *insert golf course*, Golf Mart, Nordstrom, Macy's, Chevron, Lucky's, Amazon, Target, Bloomingdales, BB&B, J-Crew, H&M, Coffee Bean, Peet's, Red Robin and Sizzler. Just not Best Buy because I effing hate that store. [But I probably would still use it if I had one lol.]
See, contrary to belief, I'm not that difficult to shop for!
