The Steve Gift Ideas Page

I know that it may seem strange, but I thought it was a good idea for me to post a page with a list giving some ideas of things I might like as gifts.  This way it requires no creativity or effort on your part whatsoever to look like a good friend who knows me well.  No, I'm just kidding, but this list is not the be all, end all of all things material that I want, so don't feel locked in by it.  It's just a good place to start or maybe find ideas.  P.S.  Some of these things are expensive.  That does not mean I expect any such thing from you personally, they're just ideas. Items with a "High" priority are things I think would be good or useful for my birthday or Christmas or whatever is upcoming.
