Christina & Brian
October 25, 2025
We have been together for 10 years and due to family moves and deaths, we have about 5 households' worth of items currently. So we are generally more interested in experiences. However, we also have a select few household items that would enrich our life as well! Please have gifts sent to: Christina Boardman and Brian Wolden 1351 Rialto Lane Santa Barbara, 93105 Please send e-gifts to: xttina.garnet@gmail.com

Bonus: This will allow them to go *outside the house* to "defend their territory" from the neighbor cat who likes to mark our front door.

Christina first got the 3rd edition of Nick Offerman's Lagavulin as a surprise 41st birthday gift for Brian, given his love of the actor and a good peaty scotch. Surprise, Christina, who isn't normally a fan of any alcohol, liked it! Now, the only alcohol Christina drinks is Whisky (peaty scotch and rye-heavy bourbon preferred). We think this Guinness aged edition, with it's reported chocolate notes, will be another hit with both of us!
