These are some very ambitious gift ideas. I don't expect to get most of these, but hopefully it'll give you an idea of what I'm looking for. The ones with stars ⭐ are the ones that I want the most compared to the rest of the list. I obviously want all of them, but these are the ones that I think will help me the most.
⭐ Money
Obviously if you would rather just give me money, that's totally fine. Anything I get I will save either to pay for some of the things on this list, or save for the study abroad program at UAH (plane ticket, housing, etc).
Laptop
⭐ Framework Laptop 13 Pro - approx $2,200
- This is their newest model, which came out about a week ago (as of 4/28). The main selling point of these laptops is that they're designed to be fixed. Every individual component is replaceable and can be ordered on their website, even parts from their first ever model. The laptop has swappable ports, so I can choose which connections I may need at a given point. It is extremely powerful, which I am probably going to need for college as cybersecurity can be a bit computing-intensive. Also, the battery is supposed to last a very long time, which is a bit of an annoyance that I'm having with my current laptop.
Link - This link goes directly to the configuration that I want.

Note Taking
⭐ Supernote Manta w/ Twin EMR Pen - approx $700
- Paper-like digital notes/books for school. Tired of having to carry around 5 different notebooks for every class. I'm gonna start college with digital notes, and hopefully it'll help me keep track of everything.
- This one specifically is the best for sustainability. I always try to put my money into products that I know are going to last, and from what I've seen these are quite good about that. The batteries are replaceable, the pens are repairable, the chassis is customizable.

Gaming
⭐ Steam Deck OLED - approx $650
- Currently out of stock online but there's a whole lot of them on facebook marketplace. Don't fall for the ones that are like a hundred bucks, they're scams. If it has a SKU anywhere in the description it's also a scam. They usually go for around 400-600 depending on which one you get.
- Get the OLED, not the LCD model. The OLED is newer, has a bigger screen, and is more powerful for the same price. The main way you can tell the difference between them is by looking at the color of the plastic under the joysticks. If it's white/light grey, it's the older LCD. If it's black, it's the OLED.
- If you would rather avoid all of the confusion, you can give me the money and I will find a good deal on marketplace and buy it myself.


Camera stuff
Peak Design Travel Tripod - Carbon fiber - approx $400 (after employee discount)
- Super small and lightweight tripod designed for travel. You know what this is, I don't need to sell it to you lol. Yeah it's expensive but it's peak design. I'd like the carbon fiber one, mainly just cause of the weight, but also it's so unbelievably ridiculous that I feel like I might as well just get it.
- I get a really good discount on this at Best Buy, so if you want to give me the money for it and let me get it myself, I will pay you guys back whatever the difference ends up being after my discount.

Transportation
Aventon Level 4 REC Step-through - approx $2,000
- Glacier mint, large size.
- Bike for getting around campus. I originally had a Specialized bike in this spot, but the price was just ridiculous compared to this one so I decided to switch it out. Includes throttle.

Stuff for my new car
I should be getting a new car pretty soon, so here are some things that I think will go nicely with it.
Viofo 3-channel dash cam - approx $500
- Only dash cam I could find that wasn't complete junk. Not exactly cheap, but I think the price of this is a lot better than the price of a ticket or wreck.

Uniden R8 - approx $600 (after employee discount)
- Radar detector (for car). Not to do illegal things, just to be aware of my surroundings.

Misc
Even Realities G2
- Extremely cool smart glasses with HUD
