That is literally a copy / paste of my Christmas list off of Word.
BuckyBalls - $105
Hell they're expensive if you buy the branded ones.
You can buy them really cheap as high quality sperical neodynium magnets.
Well you're not asking for a lot ;D
There's a KH 24 MUni on my list but I already have it
Apart from that, not a lot really.
Bit of chocolate perhaps.
My wife and I have found that for our sanity and pocketbook, not celebrating holidays works out best. We used to dread xmas especially; the shopping, the crowds, the lines, the searching, the thinking of what to get someone who already has "everything".
No more.
Instead, throughout the year, if we want something for ourselves, we buy it. If it is something really expensive (more than $100.00 or so), we discuss it, then buy it if it will work in our budget. Furthermore, quite often the stuff we buy is used - from Goodwill, Craigslist, etc; we stay away as much as possible from the "consumerist trappings" (not watching television helps in that regard).
Things are calmer, there is a ton of less stress, and there isn't a huge credit card bill waiting for us in January (heh - I haven't had a credit card bill in two years, actually). Seriously, the whole thing every year just feels like a coordinated scam (and guilt trip) to transfer money from your pockets into the pockets of the corporate world - all for items and things that most people got last year, or for "new toys" that will be lost and forgotten over the coming year.
I have to say, though, that I would love a Kinect for hacking, but $150.00 is a little much. I'm willing to wait. Maybe by June of next year, or later, the prices will have come down. Or, I can wait for the knockoffs for PCs and others to come out; I'm sure by this time next year, we might see PC web cameras with the functionality built-in selling for $39.99 or some cheap price. I don't need it now, I can wait - and if I wait long enough, it will land on the shelf at Goodwill for $25.00.
Nano 3v,
ADXL335,
Plus some ATtiny45s,
a 4066 analog switch,
that kind of thing.
Nothing. I don't get that much presents of my parents.
? BuckyBalls - $105^
$105?! :o
I thought their price was around $30. :-?

I guess they are not the same.
I am getting a big RC controlled toy car. I am thinking of letting my son play for a while and then mod it into some kind of autonomous platform.
With my B-day being today I usually don't get much for Xmas. Plus wife and I are similar to Cr0sh and Mrs. Cr0sh. We just buy what we want when we want.
She wanted to get me SOMEthing for Xmas day so I'll probably have her pick me up a Dremel drill press. We'll both get a lot of good use out of it.
Here is my organised list that I pasted:
PC
(I actually followed the theme of Razer in that section)
Movies
Stargate Universe saison #1.5 DVD
Stargate Atlantis saison #5 DVD
Inception Blu-Ray
A new Wallet
I don't really know what I could asked. I find the t-shirts from thinkgeek quite hilarious and I need to change my old PS/2 keyboard and mouse.
$105?!

Yeah same.
Perhaps he wants 3 sets
You can still get them for $10 or something if you buy the original un-branded non-toy version as spherical neo magnets...
Mowcius
Oh I forgot. I have one of those pin art things on my list too.
It's always been something I wanted to stick my face into when I get bored
Then I can sit it on my desk and stare at myself ;D
Mowcius
Yeah, I have 3 on my list... Gold, Silver, and Black.
Peace on Earth, Good will to all men, and an Orbital Death Ray with which to smite my enemies.
Yes, I said Smite.
Hakko 936 Soldering station (I need something beter than the $15 iron I have)
Kingston 256mb Ram for my MPC
Korg Kaoss pad 3
new jacket (get one every year)
new disc golf bag
handful of disc golf discs
dickfer
tickets to a hockey game
new chorus guitar pedal (maybe... I dropped hints)
But, what I really need is cash for text books.
We tend to be like the cr0sh family .... if we want it, we buy it. That said, the boss handed me the Christmas Bonus check today .... my wife is getting a new digital camera, I am thinking about an Adafruit Ethernet / SD card shield, temperature / pressure sensors, and a fistful of loose components. Maybe a medium sized solar panel, 8 to 10 watts. A couple of protoshields. I'm sure I'll see a few more things while I am looking around.
Korg Kaoss pad 3
Think you'll get it?
Nook Color eBook Tablet
