+1NatureMom Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 Last year my family thought I was nutz when I added geocaching to our favorite-spiritual holiday; now they are adding to it! I camo'd a gift for my husband under the tree, hung a handmade geocaching ornament to the tree, asked for gifts related to geocaching, and our family 12 month photo-calendar was all seasonal geocaching pictures! This year our 1NatureGirls are asking for: Camelbacks, their own GPSr, and snowshoes for caching! And...while they are now spending their reading time going thru toy catalogs, I hear them mumble "oh, this'd be cool for trade items; I'd wish someone would put that in a cache"!! So what's on your list or your ideas? Quote
+Mystery Ink Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 A couple of ideas come to mind: Backpack - saw a nice one the other day for less that $40 that even had a water container built in Walking stick - I picked up some already Small tool kit - flashlight, mirror, multi-tool knife, oh yea small black light for invisible ink (we have some puzzle caches here with that) Geocoin - Danger, can be addictive Quote
+Moose Mob Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 (edited) The "12 days of Geo Christmas" song was a tangent of this topic and thus split off. Edit: Added Moderator Font. Edited October 29, 2005 by Moose Mob Quote
+JohnnyVegas Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 A vehicle GPS that will allow be to beam files from my pocket pc GPXsonar files to the GPS. But they do not make on of those . So how about a Magellan Explorist XL. Quote
+SNSPRT Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 One New Compass Two new Snowshoes Three Geocoin Four new Travel Bugs Five Ammo Boxes Six Dollar store Items Seven Bottles of water Eight new Waypoints(Caches) Nine White Jeeps Ten Yellow Jeeps Eleven New Geocache Friends Twelve FTFs Quote
SFABobby03 Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 I had thought about getting geocaching related gifts this year but I settled on a custom cover for my bass boat.... Quote
darwinmay Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 I'm currently hinting (heavily) that I'd like a laptop for navigational use. Quote
+TeamAO Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 Micros roasting over an open fire. I would sure like to see an Christmas themed geocaching event...that's inside. That would be cool. Quote
Team Firebird Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 (edited) you mean warm Why does everyone hate micros? What I want for christmas is people to stop arguing about them and just accept that they are part of geocaching! I also want a new fish tank(relaxing when working on those tough puzzel caches!) Last year, I got a gpsr for christmas, and joined geocaching.com 15 minutes later! Edited October 29, 2005 by Team Firebird Quote
Utsman Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 I asked for snowshoes and a new winter jacket for winter caching. Quote
+Bill & Tammy Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 All I want is some time to actually go caching. Quote
+webscouter. Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 Since I forgot my camera on the top of my van and it rolled off last night I would like a new digital camera for Christmas. Quote
+Roving Land Sharks Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 (edited) I'd like MY OWN gps. I'm so tired of walking behind my husband saying over and over agian.....are we there yet...how much further...left of right....how many more feet.... edited a million times because I cant type tonight Edited October 30, 2005 by Roving Land Sharks Quote
nobby.nobbs Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 A Canon 350d camera..... but the only person likely to buy it for me is me! So how good do I think i've been this year? Quote
+ParrotRobAndCeCe Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 (edited) All I want is gift certificates from Corridor Fine Wine in Laurel, MD Edit: Lots of them Edited October 30, 2005 by ParrotRob Quote
+Roving Land Sharks Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 A Canon 350d camera oooooo, camera's I've got the 20d on my list. However I may have to lower my standards to the rebel if I want to even get close to owning a digital SLR. Quote
+kentuckygirls Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 For myself, I would like to have a geocaching.com sweatshirt, and a pair of comfortable hiking pants so I will quite ruining my bluejeans. (Hopefully the other Kentuckygirl will see this post and get the hint!! ) These are doable. I would love to have a new GPSr particularly a Garmin map 60. This is not doable but I can always dream. For my neice, a backpack loaded with swag and a geocaching shirt. She loves geocaching with us. Quote
+IV_Warrior Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 Micros roasting over an open fire. Well, you attended the Burning Micro event. I would sure like to see an Christmas themed geocaching event...that's inside. That would be cool. There's currently two Christmas/holiday events scheduled in PA. Newest caches in PA Quote
+1NatureMom Posted October 30, 2005 Author Posted October 30, 2005 For my neice, a backpack loaded with swag and a geocaching shirt. She loves geocaching with us. Hey, try LLBean!!

+guinea gal Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 How about a 30-something single guy who likes geocaching? Quote
+Colorado Cacher Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 Heres mine: One CamelBak Snowbound for $52.00 (not $65.00 as priced), or $100.00 as advertised everywhere else. Through Fatwallet.com I recieved it at Sierra Trading Post (a cashback store there)by using a 20% off coupon, shipping ended up being $8.00 and pack $52.00. MERRY CHRISTMAS to ME! Quote
+Colorado Cacher Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 How about a 30-something single guy who likes geocaching? Uhhhm. Forty year old guy? Quote
+Miragee Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 How about a 30-something single guy who likes geocaching? Uhhhm. Forty year old guy? I'll accept a 50-something guy with a 4-WD and an obsessive compulsion to hunt Geocaches. Quote
+TeamK-9 Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 I could use a few things: Trekking polls Mid-size day pack (Last year, I got a day pack, and while it's exactly the one I picked out, it ended up being huge. I could probably live out of that thing for a week or two) Snowshoes Cross-country skis New GPS (without broken screen) A nice sleeping bag New, small tent Quote
+jlday70 Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 I think my better half is going to get me a new Palm T/x PDA, so I can go paperless I already have everything else since my job is mostly outdoors. Quote
+Thrak Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 Just got myself a nice hiking stick so I guess I'll have to think of something else. Mostly what I want is to be retired so I can cache whenever I darn well please. Quote

+Scout353 Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 My list: -Studded MTB Tires to go caching with $30 -A backpack for my geomutt $30 -Ammo Boxes $5+Shipping -TBs and Geocoins(of course!) $3.25? Being able to be looked at really weird while fumbling through the snow looking for a container filled with swag=Priceless Quote
+gpsjeep Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 A new Garmin 60CX http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=114790 -Jeff Quote
+Boot Group Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 I'm going to get snowshoes. I already picked them out. That ought to be a guaranty that it wont snow this winter. Quote
+tourinct Posted December 4, 2005 Posted December 4, 2005 I have almost all the stuff I need (yea some of it is 30 years old), now I need time, understanding that the jones needs to be fed and someone to do yardwork. In addition, the kids could forget multi-mile wrong turns and "100 steps" (though they love to talk about it afterwards, they are afraid the next one will be a repeat). Merry Xmas! Quote
rynd Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 All I want is some time to actually go caching. Ditto Quote
+altosaxplayer Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 A new PDA for Cachemate, more cache containers, paint... need I say more? Quote
