David's Christmas Wish List 2022

**The Author's Confession: Why They're Willing to Try Crocs**

In a shocking turn of events, the author has confessed on camera that they may try wearing Crocs. The idea seems counterintuitive, given their previous reservations about the footwear style. "I think I might want to give Crocs a try," they said, "guys let me know in the comments." The author's skepticism about Crocs is rooted in their perceived aesthetic, likening them to "nerdy" shoes that don't quite fit with their personal style. However, after hearing positive reviews and considering the comfort and quality aspects of the footwear, they're willing to give it a shot.

"I just think I might want to finally give Crocs a try call me crazy," they said with a hint of self-deprecation. The author's willingness to experiment with a new fashion choice is admirable, especially given their reputation as a style enthusiast. While it remains to be seen whether the author will become a full-fledged Crocs fan, it's clear that they're open to exploring new possibilities and stepping out of their comfort zone.

**The Author's Favorite Beverages: San Francisco Bay Coffee**

When it comes to beverages, the author has a clear preference for coffee. Specifically, they love San Francisco Bay coffee, which they describe as "incredibly rare." In fact, the author claims that they can't imagine going a day without having a cup of this premium coffee. They attribute their fondness for San Francisco Bay coffee to its environmental benefits, citing the company's efforts to reduce plastic waste through its use of reusable cups and minimal packaging.

"I love it that much," the author said, emphasizing their enthusiasm for the brand. The author's commitment to sustainability is admirable, especially when considering the impact of single-use plastics on our environment. By choosing a coffee brand with eco-friendly practices, they're supporting a cause that aligns with their values.

**Amazon Gift Cards: A Convenient and Practical Choice**

When it comes to gift-giving, the author has a clever solution in mind. They've shared their Amazon gift card preferences with their audience, citing the convenience and versatility of these digital gift cards. "Do I need to go into detail of why I want Amazon gift cards?" they asked rhetorically. The answer is clear: Amazon offers an unparalleled range of products, making it a practical choice for those looking to gift something special.

The author's appreciation for Amazon gift cards is also rooted in their busy lifestyle. As someone who works from home and values convenience, the ability to send digital gifts via email or text message is a game-changer.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhello everybody how you doing today my name is David Franco and welcome to David's Christmas wish list for 2022. this is an annual tradition that I've been doing for years years upon years okay so I act like I'm 80 years old but I am in my mid-30s and I'm just going to make this clear I'm in my mid-30s yes I just repeated myself because I just want to make that super crystal clear for people who don't get it uh this isn't a video just saying you know I want this I want that I'm an adult I make money I pay my bills and while if I want something I can typically buy it for myself I mean as long as I'm you know financially responsible of course but that's just my point I am an adult so I get it some people might not agree with this video and that's okay that's okay I'm not exactly making this video for people's approval um I make this video because it's tradition and I quite literally have thousands of people who look forward to this video every single year and not only that but my family quite literally requests a list from me because I'm kind of that guy who has everything I don't really have everything I wish I did um but sometimes people don't know what to buy me so this video is intended for my family and for those who like to try to get ideas for maybe you're trying to get something for someone in your family a close friend of yours or maybe you're trying to treat yourself this holiday season because just saying just saying Santa Claus might be sending baby boy here something special this holiday season uh because you know I like the I mean you might know I like to buy myself something for Christmas every year at least for the past few years and this year should be no difference anyway this is my Christmas wishes for 2022. as always I have things broken down into categories I have the list right in front of me I have categories for video games Electronics house stuff toys gadgets and accessories such as one category in itself and of course finishing it up with miscellaneous you know gift cards and all that stuff okay let's talk video games I'm a huge gamer I play video games almost daily I say almost because there are those occasions where I just don't have time uh but as a big twitch streamer not a big twitch streamer tons of followers but big into Twitch streaming and just a big gamer in general I love video games I've been gaming since I was just a little sperm not literally but hey you never know maybe someday I'll figure that out through some kind of scientific miracle I mean I show no signs of stopping gaming anytime soon I mean I'll be gaming into my 80s as long as I live into my 80s but anyway um I'm just asking for two games this year number one God of War Ragnarok for the PlayStation 5. Now guys I get it I could easily buy this myself quite literally nothing is stopping me from buying it right now on Amazon and streaming it by early next week on Twitch but but I want to get my parents some kind of idea for the video games category uh so I figured why not ask for God of War Ragnarok for PS5 unfortunately it is 70 and not 60 video games are getting more expensive and not less expensive but it is what it is you know I mean God of War Ragnarok did win multiple Game Awards this past week and I think that's great I'm not a huge game awards person but the fact that it did win some game awards says something and God of War in the PS4 was incredible actually so incredible to the point that there's now a permanent dent in my coffee table downstairs in my living room because I raged and I slammed my dual shock 4 at the time into the the uh table and yeah anyway Ragnarok for PS5 I'm sure it's gonna be incredible and if I do get it then I'll stream it live on Twitch okay game number two Kirby and the Forgotten land I actually played this for a little bit on my gaming channel I don't really focus on my gaming channel too much right now because I'm primarily focused on this channel and creative Finance it's linked up below hey if you're not subscribed please check it out that is my completely and 100 transparent channel in regards to how much money I make doing what I do whether I'm streaming live on Twitch making YouTube videos or whatever anyway Kirby and the Forgotten land on the switch from what I can recall the demo was incredibly simple and basic Kirby has always I mean at least in recent years has always been a very childish and simple game and honestly there's nothing wrong with that sometimes I do prefer a challenging experience but sometimes I just want to kick back relax and just enjoy the Kirby the the pink ball for what he is and from what I recall the demo was a lot of fun and I definitely want to Play the full game live on my twitch Channel and by the way if you're not following me on Twitch it is linked right below check it out thank you so much Electronics baby I love me some tech number one I actually asked for this last year I ended up not getting it I know I sound like a five-year-old kid Mommy I asked for this but you didn't get this for me you suck you're a terrible terrible mother no I just never got it and yeah I could have easily bought it for myself I just don't really think about it during the air so I was trying to think of like one main gift to ask for this year because typically my parents get for me and my sister a main gift each year so this year I figured why not ask for the Google nest and Yale lock with keypad so it's kind of what it sounds like it's a keypad door lock for my front door and it could work seamlessly with my Google Nest Hub devices I love my Nest sub devices and actually I love them so much that I don't even really use my echo devices too much the only Echo device I have activated right now is the original Echo Show in the kitchen and even then she she doesn't get much usage she just kind of sits there and shows me news which is cool which is cool but me personally I'm a huge huge fan of nest because I have Nest thermostats I have two Nest hubs I have Nest cams around the house so to have it Nest lock that would just further make my um house more smart which is great and speaking of Nest number two the nest outdoor cam with floodlight the wired version I don't want solar I want something wired if possible okay so as you probably know I have like 28 cats I take care of okay but seriously I have like six cats plus one cat actually six seven eight cats I take care of outside and currently two cats inside if I counted correctly so yeah in other words I have a lot of cat activity out back on my deck and it would be nice to just keep an eye on them and just know when they're here and when they're not here and I figured you know what why not ask for another Nest cam just to integrate with my smart home so you gotta love it okay okay moving towards a category of stuff I don't really need not that I really need a nest camera and a nest cam is definitely useful another dual sense controller yes I have I think at this point one two three four or five dual sense controllers and I only really use one or two of them but that's because I'm a collector you guys honestly the same exact thing goes for Xbox controllers I have like four or five Xbox controllers I don't use I just like to collect controllers because I'm a huge gamer I'm a huge tech nerd um so I'm asking for the Dual sound controller in Midnight black yes midnight black yeah I get it that's definitely one of the more boring colors or technically lack of colors did you know black is the lack of color and white is all the colors combined which is pretty cool that's why black is the hexadecimal value of zero zero zero zero zero zero the more you know anyway midnight block I think looks pretty cool and speaking of dual sense another one I'm asking for is another dual sense controller but this one in Starlight blue this is a beautiful beautiful color not my favorites when compared to like Cosmic red and the pink Nova pink I think it's called but Starlight blue in my opinion does look damn good the only dual sense controller I don't want is the new camo one not a big camo guy isn't that weird I don't know like a lot of people seem to be into camo patterns on controllers and clothing I'm just not a big camo person never have probably never will be I mean it's cool for those who do like camo but me personally I don't I don't get the hype I think it's kind of ugly I mean I'm just more of a fan of these simplistic colors and speaking of controllers let's go to the other side of the gaming Spectrum Xbox baby I love me some Xbox so I'm asking for the Xbox controller in electric volt in other words kind of lime green ish lime green is my favorite color for those who don't know I mean I just think it's a beautiful beautiful Hue of green and I think it could look great on an Xbox controller in my house would I use it every day absolutely not but much like the Dual sense controllers I'm a collector I like having as many controllers as I can so the more the better okay moving on to lighting I love me some Govi lights now behind me you'll see some Hue Lights actually you can't you can't really see too many Hue Lights because it's more of an ambience light effect I'm going for if that makes sense uh but that one might be actually that one is a hue bulb in there um and that shade of blue you see behind the chair is a hue bulb I mean I mean a hue light and back there is another you lights and I have few lights over there over there and back there so guys I love Hue but that's the thing Philips Hue is not the only lighting brand that in my opinion you should pay attention to if you want something potentially as good as you but you want to pay half the price or maybe even less than that check out Govi I love Govi I've Govi lights on this desk Kobe lights over there go be behind my cubes over there I have Gobi lights downstairs on my first floor and in the basement I'm a huge huge fan of Govi so I'm asking for these Govi neon rope lights very very interesting take on the whole I guess Nano Leaf but Govi is doing their own approach which I think is pretty cool and these lashes look beautiful so I figured why not I mean guys honestly you can never have too much RGB in your life and if you say otherwise you're wrong you're wrong simple as that sometimes it's okay to be wrong next up and well last but not least an Apple Air tag me being the Apple Fanboy that I am isn't it kind of shocking I don't have an air tag yet I mean one I'm typically pretty responsible I never lose my stuff uh so it's not like I'm gonna lose my MacBook Pro or iPhone or anything like that but with that said I think it is a good idea for everybody to have at least one of those location devices on you I mean it doesn't have to be an air attack it could be a tile or a product from any of these other companies uh but me being the Apple Fanboy that I am kind of makes sense to get an air tag okay so what will I put it on I have no idea honestly I have no idea because I don't typically lose my stuff I'm typically a pretty responsible human being with a brain that functions that function is that David maybe you're not as functional as you think you are anyway I'm saying that my brain typically functions pretty well so I don't lose my stuff but why not have an air tag okay next up a very fun category not really but uh house stuff number one Windows blinds and curtains I say windows blinds I should say window blinds um yeah blinds and curtains if you look at my vlogs you might notice like rods in the background on the top of my windows throughout my kitchen throughout my living room throughout my office it's just guys I've had this house for what like four years now something like that um and one thing I've never done in those past four years is by myself blinds I'm sorry I would much much rather put money towards coffee and iPads and iPhones and whatever then buy blinds slash curtains um but hey this is something I asked for last year I never got it I think my mom planned on getting me something or Kristen wanted to but it just never worked out uh so maybe I'll get them this year and yeah you know what you guys have my word if I don't get window blinds or curtains this year then I'll buy them in January I promise you know remind me in the comments on the next weekend Vlog or whatever I mean after Christmas that is to buy blinds and or curtains if I don't get them for Christmas and the second and last thing in the half stuff category is not really for me is for the cats I love me some cats this is an automatic cat feeder for or two cats I've always wanted an automatic cat feeder for several reasons number one Maui tends to overeat then he gonna exports out of his mouth let's just say because he doesn't know when to stop eating and it comes up whole I'm like no you gotta slow down so that could be great to keep Maui's portion control under control it's kind of redundant but you get the points and the second reason I want it is because well first of all I mean it's two cats that makes sense it's just common sense that I want to split up the food between Maui and zero but not only that I often have the kittens as I like to call them I mean they're quickly turning into adult cats but they come inside and sometimes there's not enough food to go around for everyone out of just one bowl so if I can split up that chaos into at least two bowls then hey that's a win-win in my book and that's it for the house stuff category number four the fourth category is toys gadgets and accessories actually no I'm not gonna tell you what that is because that's related to what I might get myself for Christmas from Santa Claus stay tuned so that I will not be featuring in the link right below and I'll talk about that more in a bit actually I don't have a clothing category here but I just want to throw this out there I love hoodies and I can't believe I'm admitting this on camera I think I might want to give Crocs a try guys let me know in the comments our whoa why am I are Crocs really as good as people claim they look incredibly dorky and I've kind of laughed at people wearing Crocs over the years it's just it's a very nerdy look but I'm a nerdy guy so who cares like Crocs and socks is just a terrible terrible look in my opinion but but I've heard they're incredibly comfortable and I just hear their good quality all around so I think I might want to finally give Crocs a try call me crazy guys call me crazy but I'm crossing over to the dark side uh so Crocs those I will not be linking right below because that's more of a thing I just want to tell my family anyway last but not least the fifth category or technically fourth if you don't want to include toys gadgets and accessories miscellaneous uh number one San Francisco Bay coffee I love me some San Francisco Bay coffee it's incredibly incredibly rare I go a day without having it seriously I love it that much guys it is by far my favorite single serve cup of coffee that you can get not only is it more of a premium tasting coffee than your typical donut shop Dunkin Donuts or whatever brand you prefer to get K-Cups but they're so much better for the environments these plastic K-Cups that you're buying end up in the landfill and there is so many of them out there now of course I'm not claiming to be perfect and occasionally I'll have a plastic K-Cup at my parents house but if you can try to avoid those K-Cups they're just horrible horrible for the environment uh so try to go with San Francisco Bay yeah I mean it's just a more organic approach if you want to call it that and plus their flavors are just great I love them so much next up Amazon gift cards do I need to go into detail of why I want Amazon gift cards I don't think so it's guys it's Amazon everything's on Amazon so Amazon to me is just like free stuff I thought zero was here it's my hoodie on the floor and finally last but not least you guys absolutely killed it last year with both physical cards and virtual cards in other words email door Dash gift cards yes I realize that not everyone's a fan of food delivery because it is overpriced I admit but you know what the convenience is worth it sometimes you just don't feel like putting your clothes on you don't feel like going out and dealing with traffic and all that stuff so me personally as someone who lives and works at home I love doordash it's extremely convenient for me um so doordash baby last year you guys killed it with like I think over 300 in doordash credit and by the way I did share the love from those dordash credits not all that money went to me I bought my mom and dad dinner a couple times I bought Chris and his family dinner in New Jersey last year technically earlier this year so I like to spread the doordash love if you will uh so hey doordash gift cards guys it's the way to my heart it really is anyway there you have it I may have missed one or two things so I'm gonna end the video with this my Chris's wish list is linked right below on Amazon everything that I mentioned that is on Amazon is linked right below in that idea list that Amazon calls it so check it out it's a great way to see what I'm asking for for Christmas and please one more quick reminder this is not my way of asking you guys for anything so please don't send any of these items to my P.O box if you want to send me anything I mean yeah I'll take some Amazon gift cards and doordash gift cards but everything else is intended for my parents and my friends who need ideas from me but hey with that said my P.O box is open P.O box 66 that information is right below also speaking of uh because I receive gifts from you guys every year don't forget your gift will be featured in an opening viewers guest video or maybe I'll just include it in this year's Christmas one 2022 series I'm not sure I'm not sure it just depends on timing and how busy we are but either way your gifts how to get via my PO Box will definitely be featured on camera I can promise you that anyway guys with that said don't forget my Christmas wishes is linked right below I hope you guys are having a great holiday season I know I am my holiday shopping is not done yet I still have quite a bit to buy uh but hey I'm getting there I'm getting there so thank you guys so much happy holidays and I'll talk to you soon\n"
