Present Collection Almost Complete

The delivery of my iriver accessory kit today (Saturday; which surprises me, since I haven’t seen UPS deliver on Saturday before) marks yet another item on my present list for this holiday season. So far I have received or bought the following items with money I received:

  • iriver Clix / U10 Accessory kit (includes a pretty decent silicon case, belt clip, neck strap that is really difficult to get on the case, arm band which I will never use and screen protectors with a good microfiber cloth)
  • Carrera ski helmet (pretty comfortable, not shaped for my head but the insertable pads provides some compensation)
  • Black Diamond gloves (not too light and not too heavy, and have good dexterity)
  • Lowe Alpine goggle case (kind of tight for big goggles like my Smith Cariboo OTG)
  • Smartwool Snow Rider socks (intended for snowboarders but should suffice for skiing too; one really thick pair of socks)
  • About $135 in cash

For now I’m pretty happy with what I got. However, there are two more things on my wish list:

  • Smith Universal Helmet Helper – lengthens a goggle’s strap by a few inches to fit comfortably over a helmet without stretching the strap or squeezing your eyes out :-P
  • A simple USB wall charger that no store in NYC other than some schlock place on Fifth Avenue seems to carry

I’ll post again when my cache has been filled. Somehow it seems like it’s so difficult to get my hands on those little things.
