"Things to buy" lists

I'm thinking about things to recommend for others to buy me Christmas gifts. In the process, I'm finding pleasure (and getting overwhelmed) perusing some of these lists from rationality adjacent blogs. I wanted to assemble them together with a note.

Sam Bowman: The one I knew initially here. But I recommend the 2020 update here

Pros: Excellent on cooking ideas. Service ideas are pretty normal, but a little overwhelming with low income and a different task at hand.

Still interested in: Pots, pans, pressure cooker. Travel bags and sleep mask. Working from home suggestions.

Robert Wiblin: Whose list from 2019 I originally saw. I've already bought many things from this list, or at least things inspired by the list.

Pros: More surprising suggestions, especially in the services department.

Still interested in: Security key, Travel suggestions, Credit cards, Kettle

Ben Schiffman on EA Forum: List here. Feels like it doesn't add a TON after the last two.

Still interested in: Dutch oven / Cast iron skillet, Concert earplugs, Size rings

Daniel Frank: Not even sure who he is, but here's his list.

Pros: Different from the others. Good at recommending cheap things from China of good quality.

Still interested in: Sleeping bag for Ellen, Nice clothes, Headphones? credit card churning
