December is here and with it the holiday gift-giving season!
When it comes to objects, I’m a minimalist. Those authors who have been in my home know this. Though nice, I have few things. I have my signed books—some on bookcases, others on my desk. I have two pieces of artwork on my walls, both framed Michael Whelan signed prints. I don’t have a couch. I don’t have a recliner. I have a Mac on my desk, an iPad on my night stand, and a new television powered by Netflix that I watch from my computer chair when I need to decompress while doing web work.
That doesn’t mean I don’t have a wish list though. There are some really cool items out there and this is the season I begin thinking, “Wouldn’t it be neat if I had X or X or X or X?”
For the month of December I’ll post some of my own personal picks, some of which I’m sure will also excite some of you, maybe to the point you add them to your own gift wish lists!
Day 2: Patrick Rothfuss T-Shirts
Patrick Rothfuss, the author of The Name of the Wind and the forthcoming The Wise Man’s Fear, has a lot on his plate right now. Having completed the copyedits on his new book, he is in the midst of a holiday charity drive I think far more important—one geeks gain from even as they support Heifer International!
Pat is auctioning off editor and agent services, signed books, signed posters, and a menagerie of other cool things. This Gift For the Geek post though is pointed toward one of the other charity items Patrick Rothfuss fans will love—T-Shirts! Badass t-shirts. Several different ones, as a matter of fact.
I’m looking at the “Names Compilation” one or the “The Eolian Bar” one. Both are right up my alley.
The great thing about these t-shirts as gifts though, beyond being super cool, is the money made from them goes to Heifer International!
So make that Rothfuss fan in your life happy! Buy a t-shirt! Or buy yourself one!
It’s all going toward a great cause!
