I would love to join this year again, but most everyone is HPR.
I can't afford to do justice as a LPR person.
Maybe if it was divided up into Lpr, Mpr & Hpr we would be assured more of a equal exchange gifter status.
The last time I joined in I was gifted too much, yet all I could to do what was listed, and not even rocket related.
I know the person was unhappy, but it's what I could do at the time.
So I will bow out this time, not wanting to do that again to someone whom truely hopes for somethine.
I wish everyone a Very Merry Xmas, and sorry I couldn't do more for the HPR people.
I just don't know anything about it to be honest.

If you can afford $20-$30 to participate, for hpr or any power all you have to do is put it in a gift certificate to a rocket vendor that carries some of the stuff that that person is requesting. Yes it is nice to get a gift that is more than that but should not be expected.
 
Wishlist:
Wildman V2 Mini (if you really want to) Rocketpoxy, Estes Pro Series Nike Smoke, Dark Silver, Cobra or Conquest, Pemberton Technologies: Bucky Jones, Space Ark, Green Meanie38mm Fiberglass tube, 1/2 or 3/8 Tubular Kevlar. Sheet G10 fiberglass, . Or a Gift cert to any of the rocketry dealers.

Or just anything weird or cool.

I try to make sure there are things at several price points on my list, so that hopefully whoever is my secret Santa can find something they'd be comfortable spending. I also hope that my santa can get a sense of where my current intrest in the hobby is. (gliders, gyros, and quirky sci-fi styled sport flyers, as well as things that need less painting.) Yes, there are some "pie in the sky" items on there, it is a wish list after all - but I'd be perfectly happy if I got to open a $15 kit from a fellow flyer on Xmas morning. (and honestly, I'm pretty sure my wife would be happier with another LPR kit on the shelf, than a 6-10 foot tall fiberglass monster that we'd have to find a spot for after it's built.)

That being said, if my SS does decide to splurge, I might be in the market for some 3in fiberglass tubing soon. (So help me, I'm actually considering trying for my L2 next year)
