For those who don't read Penny Arcade, my brother over at TheoryCraft Masters has asked me to inform you that they're doing their annual Child's Play toy/game drive. Last year, I just added an item from their wish list onto an Amazon order of Christmas presents, and with gift registry shipping, everything was taken care of.
So if you're planning on buying something from Amazon anytime soon, take a look at one of the wish lists and consider adding something on. Like I said, easy.
