Best Wargaming birthday gifts
When I began writing this I thought (yes it does happen occasionally), “Guru you’ve stuffed up again. You should have posted this a month ago and made sure copies were left everywhere”!!!
- Miniatures: The obvious choice, if you let them know what to get. Hint leave a catalogue out with things highlighted!
- Rule books: This would be great for US to play if I only had the rules!
- Games: Leave a copy of your gameology (or other games retailer) wish list on the table
- Books: Leave a selection around so they know the sort of stuff you are interested in.
- Paints, brushes and tools: Must-haves for any hobbyists who want to make their collection look the best. You can always use more so this is an easy win for gift givers.
- Terrain, basing and markers: Even the most invested hobbyist can always use more of these. The “oh look at this, isn’t it great!” may actually work!
- Gaming aids: If I only had this laser light I would be able to hang all of the pictures straight on the wall!
Remember: If they get it wrong you can always buy it for their birthday!
Or maybe you’ll just get a mug instead.
My tried and tested method of leaving the list of what I want around the gaming room works, my wife knows just where to look for it, and then passes on the details to anyone who needs a gift idea ! LOL
Thanks Dave
I’m lucky that my GF is a gamer so she has a good idea of what I’m after… hope you got some good stuff.
Cheers,
Pete.
Thanks Pete and yes I did. Will share in a few days time.
One of my favorite gifts was one of those green ruled cutting mats for hobby work. I use it nonstop. Though it occurs to me that the wife might have been hinting that I needed to stop nicking and dripping paint and glue and plastic crumbs on the coffee table where I hobbied.
We all know about that! Mine was when a grandchild bought me a tube of supa-glue with his pocket money because he knew I used it.
Practical and adorable.
I’m lucky enough that I just get asked or given money.
Or both. 😄
I am almost the same. I just get asked for money!!
Happy Birthday Guru! 🎉
Thanks Grumps.
I think the best I can manage for your birthday is to read your post and “like” it! 🙂 Oh, and leave a comment saying “Happy Birthday”! Other than that I have long resorted to buying my own birthday presents. And, by the way, you’re 4 years older than me, since I reckon I’m just 14!
No not 14! Eighteen with only a mere 47 years of experience!
My wife loves surprises, I hate surprises, I keep telling her ask me what I want and I’ll tell you, better still I’ll buy it. After thirty five years she’s finally getting the idea. 😁
Cheers Roger.
Normally I buy my own presents but they had enough hints as to what I was after!!!!
Haha nice post. I never ask for anything or expect anything and have also told everyone I don’t want anything. However there’s a quiet understanding that I’ll buy hobby stuff for myself here and there through the year. That’s my gift I guess hehe
I am very similar. This year was a bit different for some reason.
