Well, scary santa... I know its sacreligious on this board, but Haunted Mansion is not my favorite attraction. I like HM, but I prefer: Tower of Terror (mainly because I am a twilight zone fan from way back), Pirates of the Caribbean (the ride, not the movies although I do like the movies just not as much as the ride), Enchanted Tiki Room ( actually I love all things Polynesian especially old 40's/50's Hawaii ephemera). I love old amusement park and theme park brochures and ephemera, especially from parks long gone such as the original Coney Island, and old roadside stop tourist places like Weeki Watchee. I also love coffee table art books on ancient cultures, on different more modern time period pop culture things, such as pulp magazines, cheesecake pinup art (I sadly currently do not own any cheesecake pinup books right now), time period dress etc. Any book you think would come in handy for art reference as I am an artist, and love having books with pictures on all kinds of topics, you never know what will come in handy especially from various time periods. There are a lot of affordable books of this type in the Taschen line, and I don't care if anything is used, as long as its not falling apart or anything like that. Any books on old Halloween collectables are great too.

If you are short on cash as many of us are these days, here are a few other good ones: if you have a digital camera I can always use hand poses (taking lots of pictures of your hands in various poses, holding things etc for me to use as reference to draw from preferably at high resolution in good lighting. I have yet to find a single art book devoted solely to drawing hands, and they are difficult for me to draw.Big bonus if you can get both male and female hands in poses, and if you are not shy about it the rest of the body pose can be included as long as the hands are very clear.) If you live near the parks, high res photos around the park and in the attractions (no flash photography, and its ok if they are a little blurry as long as they are recognizable). This includes non-Disney parks, and even older/historical amusement parks, heck if its cool theming I wouldnt even mind high res pics of every hole on a mini golf course ( I am also a mini golf nut). If you live near anything of interest that holds a lot of historical value, particularly unique architecture, building interiors, or historical relics lots of photos of this kind of thing would be awesome too, just keep in mind I would need lots of intricate details because I would use them for art reference to draw from. Any of this kind of thing on cd or dvd would be a dandy present.

That should give you enough ideas hopefully. Thanks very much in advance, and have a wonderful Christmas! Mele Kalikimaka!
