The Hello Skateboard, from Buddy Carr and designed by Antonio Carusone.
Reason for Wanting: Look at it! It's simple. It's friendly and since I have moved to my current neighborhood, I pretty much travel by foot, bike or skateboard.
Why I Don't Need It: I already have a skateboard that is years old, and looks like I have used it twice. Also, this board looks too clean. The first time it gets scuffed I would probably freak out and never ride to preserve what's left of its charm. Kind of like what happened to my current sidewalk surfer. Actually, the more I look at it, I think this little vehicle of multi-culti salutations would look better the more it gets worn. Just like a pair of Chuck Taylors. Yeah, I want it.
Item number 2. The Warp20 Boxset from Warp records.
Reason for Wanting: It is a time capsule of sorts that displays 20 years worth of work from one of my favorite record labels. I won't wax-on, wax-off about the details, but it has CDs, vinyl, and a few books. Early this year I also told myself that I would only buy music in physical format if the packaging was cool. Let me tell you, the packaging is to kill for. (If you had $130 on your person)
Why I Don't Need It: I have more than enough music, records and books to keep my cool status up to date for at least the next six months. Other than that, I really don't have a good enough reason. I'm pretty sure this would fill my music nerd/snob void for a long time.
Soooo I am sending an early pretty please with sugar on top to anyone who is kind enough, or obsessive enough for my affections to get either one of these gems for me. If it's any form of gratitude, I would happily kick down some art or design work for free! I'll even walk your dog.
