Not sure if the lighter is for your stove but if so have a look at the Soto Pocket Torch.
The extending nozzle means burning your hands on flare ups is virtually a thing of the past

God no - these are previous presents or stuff I would want, I have quite a few of the bits across 30 years of being with the vindictive, petty, moaning bag of fun...
Just thought if anyone was struggling there's some overpriced but nice toys amongst them, and if anyone has anything to add

I read that thinking you had been having the same Christmas list writing lessons as my son.

My chrismtas present to myself this year is the Deeper Chirp+2 Long Range bundle. £299 from AD. Am fishing a very weedy lake in France next May so this will be spot on for me. Got the bait boat mount as well as will be going for the Stealth approach.

Trakker Power Flo tap thingy (last xmas). . . would never have lowered myself to buy one but they are a game changer!
Also - Ridgemonkey 2.5l water bottle - nice and compact; perfect for 24hrs / Days T making etc

It's funny, the wife always asks and I genuinely struggle to think of things....then a week later something arrives in the post I've ordered and she's not best pleased.
Last year I appeased her, Summit distance sticks, still not used them, not even a useful paperweight, might be going on Ebay!

I see, I'm with you now... Where do I start...
Dear Santa. Please can I have.
Carp Journey book by Aaron Coop.
Water proof socks. Yet to find a pair of shoes that keep water out.
Speero Sherpa fleece. Speero seem to do some reasonably priced clothing.
New fishing calender. Robs pencil portraits. My daughter bought me one last year. Lovely calenders.

ha yes, the jag weighbar, was just showing someone mine the other day...
Also started looking at dobbins bobbins on facebook and that could get expensive.
The jag (or any amazon generic) gas bottle transferring device is decent as well... that's on my list for this year. As are fur lined vass type crocs.

Weird - I think we are living parallel lives - I do EXACTLY the same lol . . . and also get moaned at . . .
Jag Weigh bar / high toppers / camera self take kit / storm poles are ALL items of desire that I don't need but would happily accept as gifts . . .in fact most Jag stuff full stop

I'm still thinking of a desire list, might as well put that Jag weigh bar on it, though nowadays when I use a weighbar the needle looks like a richter* counter in a curry house
Hmm, maybe the Solar Universal Pod, or a Power conversion for the barrow.
I suppose realistically a new chair would be nice, the foam in the head rest on mine has disintegrated with age/uv, to be fair it is over 20 years old.
