# [What Do You Want for Christmas?](https://grav.alicesastroinfo.com/blog/what-do-you-want-for-christmas)

Hey Astronomers!

If you could have anything, as an astronomer, given to you as a gift this holiday season, what would you want? Time on Hubble? A gift certificate for one of your papers to be automagically accepted to Astronomy and Astrophysics? A graduate student to do your data entry? Stuff from [thinkgeek](https://grav.alicesastroinfo.com/blog/what-do-you-want-for-christmas/www.thinkgeek.com)?

We’re trying to put together a tongue-in-cheek gift-buying guide for astronomers… and I could use some brainstorming.
