A job.

The Adobe CS4 Premium Design Package.
Kathy Behrenroth

Jewelry. I know it should be something else, but jewelry is it. I should probably cancel the Tiffany newsletter, right?

Los Logos 4 is looking pretty sweet.
Sur Keath Moon

I wish not to be laid off.

I want a fish-eye lens for my D80, my son is into skating. I'm trying to seriously break into photography. It's been a hobby for close to 20 years now.

A new MacBook!
Amber Matthews

Paint supplies, canvases, inspiring design books, among other things.
Laurel Jones

Venture capital for my startup and/or admission to Seth Godin's Alternative MBA Program. Oh, and for Google Android to suck less.

An Apple iPod Touch.
Al-Insan B. Lashley

On the top of my wish list-a web developer with a bit-o design sense. Oh, and office space too.
Jon Lackey
Redondo Beach

A new scanner and new design books.
Bijan Berahimi
Santa Clarita

New typefaces (cheesy, I know) and a vacation (wishful thinking).
Abdullah J. Shakur

Just about anything from the candy store... er, Apple store. A super-thin Macbook Air, or a new Macbook Pro, or a jumbo screen or an iPhone.
Leslie Wilkinson
Los Angeles

A Canon 50D SLR so I can take my own stock photos and start a huge photo library for reference.
Tim De Leon
Long Beach

Brown boots. Before World War II, brown shoes were more in vogue than after the war, when black became the male standard. Frank Zappa famously said that "Brown Shoes Don't Make It"; looking at my shoe collection you would think that I agreed--I have lots of black shoes. So. This year I'm going to kick it (pun alert) old school and put a pair of brown boots at the top of my wish list. Hopefully, for 70% off.
