These are my initial thoughts and what I would put on my Christmas list this year:

Custom fitted mouth guard, like TruFit

New flip flops

Custom made belt, like Kataaro

Body wipes

Extra packs of favorite gum/mints

Great post!
Really support Jack on the nice belt… in fact I just ordered an embroidered kataaro belt as my own Christmas present ;)
If you just got promoted a ranked rashguard ( if accepted at your academy) is also nice.
Same goes for a new gi / gym bag.

But in all honesty all I really want is be injury free, so rolling cautiously and controlling it is my main focus

Injury free, 100% ☺️
And maybe a new vhts gi!

Cheers

On my Jiu Jitsu wishlist, whether budget mattered or not:

Warrior Athletix gear(shame-less plug): fresh Gi, rash guards, and a hoodie that actually holds up through pop-up events and cold mats

A new belt (earned or symbolic) with something stitched on it that means something

A modular class planner to map layered sequences, one that I could actually use

A legacy wall or belt rack for the gym that honors promotions and community milestones

Enough sales to create a scholarship fund for vets and first responders to train without worrying about gear or tuition

And yeah, a private session with someone, not really sure who yet

Some techniques that work would be at the top of my list.

Got myself a new gi around this time last year and it was intercepted by my wife for me to open on Christmas morning. I had gotten injured in the meantime so it was over 6 months before I got to wear it.

On my list for this year might be a gym bag and a dedicated water bottle so I can keep my stuff together instead of needing to remember to grab all the pieces individually.

I am always scouting out new heavyweight/oversized jiujitsu hoodies!

I'm always a sucker for a new gi but I could go for some extra tatami mats for my garage for my personal training and private coaching
