So what's on your $GENERIC_GIFT_GIVING_HOLIDAY list for this year? $THE_SEASON is only a month away!

My list has only two items:
1. Dell Mini 9, fully loaded, $480 - First machine I'll ever buy with code I wrote already on it. Awesome!
2. G1G1 OLPC, $400 - One for me, one for a kid in a third-world country.
Grand total, sans tax and shipping: $880.

How about you guys, what are you getting?

I'm just gonna ask for money, which I'll then stick into my bank account, and leave it there for a nice while until I want to use it.

1. New PSU (My current PSU is a Dell 400W :gonk:)
2. Desk chair that's actually comfortable

That's about it. If I knew more about it, I'd ask for the XFPS Sniper Plus (http://www.xcm.cc/XFPS__3.0_Sniper_Plus.htm)

I want me some new glass, maybe a Nikon 17-55 f/2.8 DX lens, though I'd prefer the 24-70 f/2.8, it's outta my price range. I'm close to having enough money to get the 17-55 D:.

A new camera body would be nice, though it's not entirely needed, am want a D300, a D700 would be awesome due to the full frame sensor but, once again, way outta my price range.

Apparently my parents have ordered me something for Christmas, but I've got no idea what it is. Other than getting it, I don't want anything else. d:

2. Nvidia 8600 GT

You can probably get something more modern (and faster) for around the same price as that card. The 8600's are the ones that had the issue with the GPU unsoldering itself from the PCB.

I'd like an HDTV of some sort. Nothing expensive or anything, it's just that I haven't had a TV since September ;___;.

Can you link me to a card that would be better in the same price range?

You guys are spoiled. Might as well wrap the thread with [spoiled]

Yeah, I'd never get my own HDTV, as well as other things for Christmas...

Oh well, I prefer to learn the value of money now, and buy my own stuff, though it is nice to get some nice gifts once in a while. :)

This thread is about giving, the title is misleading.

Well, so far, I've gotten my brother a 12+1 months Xbox LIVE Gold subcription, and...yeah, still working on the rest.

If we're going to talk about giving, I'll be serious and say "a laptop to a kid in a third world country" and "a 48-hour Live card to a friend whose temporary subscription ran out".

My 8800GT is going to be a gift for someone. Maybe the x360 too, I never use it.
