Today I picked up a package at the post office from my parents: a birthday gift that they had sent out last week! Here are the contents:

1 box Ziploc 1-Quart storage bags
1 box Ziploc 1-Gallon storage bags
1 box large drawstring trash bags
1 box kitchen-sized trash bags
4 rolls toilet paper
1 box Earl Grey tea
1 box of Buckeyes from the Squirrel’s Den (recipe/explanation for non-Ohioans)
2 packs of Trail Mix from the Squirrel’s Den
1 box Kudos
1 large bag of peanuts (to be eaten while watching the ALCS)
1 box Bisquick
2 boxes Rice Pilaf mix
1 box Chili Cheese Cheez-its
1 box Double-Stuf Oreos

Now, this may seem like a strange birthday gift, but it is exactly the sort of thing that Becky and I have recently been requesting. Frankly, in terms of material possessions, we have more than we need, and literally more than can fit into our apartment. So we’re asking for consumables as gifts, for birthdays, Christmas, whatever.

Of course, you are still more than welcome to check out the Stuff Peter Wants page, should you want to buy me something a little less practical. My Amazon wishlist is linked from that page, as well.
