not really "techie" per se (sp.?), but I got a 2003 Subaru Impreza WRX....not really for Christmas either, but it was 3 weeks ago, so close enough
(hey, it has an onboard computer system....at least in the odometer...*cough*)

I didn't get any high-tech stuff for Xmas, but I gave my mom an Athlon XP2000+ with 256 megs DDR333, WD40bb 40 gig HD, Radeon 7000, 48x24x48 Lite-on CD-RW, Antec case, and a few other goodies in it. Quite a step up from the Pentium 200 she was using

I just got tons of GCs to BB, CC, J. Crew etc. My family knows I buy any tech toys for myself. The futility of researching something only to find I already own it dawned upon them years ago.

I got a dust buster that plugs into your car's lighter socket. It doesn't have batteries. I wonder if I can do a "nanny" mod to my computer.

Same here, my wife and my dad were the only two people who ever dared to buy me tech gifts. And they were both burnt. I'm on my own now.

And with 3 kids and a dozen nieces and nephews (and the wife of course) I did most of the gift giving. I got some clothes, a porcelain dragon statue, a PS2 game (with no PS2 console to use it on), and two cds for gifts.

 

[Horsepower]

My wife put another healthy contribution towards my TabletPC.

 

[DeathByDuke]

New SamSung burner, and a RED DWARF DVD WHOLE COMPLETE SERIES 1!!!!! wh00p!

Plus £60 so far... still got to visit some other relatives so now I can get that stick of 512Mb DDR I'ved been dreaming about... or maybe wait for the SmegHead's Series 2 or Doom3, Unreal2 arrrgggghhh! I hate it when you can't make your mind up!

what every cutting edge technophile needs -

5 pairs of black gold-toe socks

 

[BatmanNate]

I got a MS Wireless Optical Mouse and Keyboard set, a set of new tires for my Supra, a 120 some piece set of all sorts of dremel bits, a mini torch, and some new cookware. Woot.

Pop got me a KDS Extreme Flat 19 Inch motor. This thing is NICE! 10x better than my LCD which was so blurry/bad refresh. The 19XFe is super sharp and does 85 Hz @ 1600/1200. Looks great!

Edit - Also got a Fossil watch from my wife, its the color changing one (red and blue). Also water PROOF, you can scuba-dive in it.
