What should I get for Christmas?

[duzytata]

I'm 20 years old and my parents want to give me something for Christmas I just don't know what I want. I'm in college, I live at home, have a girlfriend and work part time. I have nice digital camera, a Xbox 360, a desktop computer, a laptop, an iPod, nice cell phone and a DS. I do not have my own car, but I drive the family one. I commute back and forth to school every day.

I'm looking at $400 total price range for a gift/gifts.

I considered a PS3, however I barely have enough time to play my 360 as it is and I don't rent movies too often so the BlueRay wouldn't benefit me too much. Plus the only game that I'd be interested in that isn't out for the 360 already is little big planet. I don't want to have a $400 gaming system to play one game and then have it sit there.

I considered a GPS because I'm bad with directions, however I don't do much traveling so it wouldn't get used much.

Any ideas out there for a good gift for a young techie with not a lot of time?

Dried beans. For when the plague comes.

..a retirement account. So you have fat Christmas's in the future.

hookers and blow

I'm asking for one of those little laptops. I'm tired of lugging my 14" around just in case I need internet access. $400 will get you a decent netbook.

What about clothes?

Was actually considering a few $100 bonds.

Mine's slightly older and like 12lbs. A lightweight netbook might be a good idea. Save my back a bit.

tivo?

I don't do a lot of traveling, but I still love my gps. just one of those gadgets (like tivo) that had an immediate impact on my life the second I bought it. can't really describe how awesome it is to go from always worried about getting lost to being able to drive anywhere you want to.

Got a good stockpile of beans, don't do blow so that's out, and really no need for the hookers.
Thinkgeek looks like it has some cool stuff. I'll check it out.

when in doubt, ask for cash.

Tivo would be nice, though I'd want to stay away from monthly fees. True about the GPS. I have my normal routs for places, but I've gotten lost some times when mapquest or google maps were slightly off or listed road names instead of numbers which is how they were marked on the street. Any recommendations on brands? Heard good things about the Nuvi

I can always use that :-D Though they said they want to give me something physical. Something more than just cash. I Just don't know what I want! lol
