Holiday Wishes?

[helwen]

For Bergental's upcoming newsletter, the question was posed - If money weren't a question, what sorts of gifts would be on your wish list, that are related in some way to your medievalist hobby?

That was a fun exercise, but what I'd like to ask here is - what sorts of more reasonably-priced or easily made things would you like for your medieval hobby?

Examples: A particular clothing pattern, new (to you) music to sing or play, pad of nice art paper, linen thread or other notions, some leather for making X project, X live experience (trip to museum/playing or dancing with friends, etc.), a coif or purse or other accessory, books, etc.

Time, and a tidy place to sit and hand sew with a TV, a Roku box and lots of new things to watch, or a place to put a laptop full of e-books to read.

A period chair would be nice.

Edited to change the icon.

Things for my next big project, a gift certificate to RH would work, since Kass knows what I'm up to.

A new tent.

Threads with which to weave a tablecloth and napkins, and time on a loom to do it.

My errant shifts, especially the one with the holes and patches of different linens, it's my favourite and has 'heritage'

There's this one, which first turns up in the fifteenth century.
