If you read books buy a Kindle or a Nook (Kindle is great especially when you are buying books, but nook gets wonderful reviews as well and supports quite a bit more). If you are going to be reading pdfs an Ipad is the way to go.

#5I'd like a nice high capacity SSD but it's too much to expect anyone to buy.
On a more hazy level, the motivation to get all this stuff I've accumulated sold or given away!

People who don't celebrate Christmas can still answer the question. "Nothing."

#7I suppose Christmas lost its excitement for me once I was able to buy just about any gadget I would've wanted as a present.

No, they can answer the question by stating the gift they would like as a present. It doesn't always have to be Christmas to give presents.

#10Personally, I don't enjoy receiving anything electronic or gadget related as a present - I have a reasonable idea of what is available and if there is something I want I'll buy it for myself.
I'd love to be given a voucher paying for me to do some activity that the giver things I will enjoy, but which I would not have thought of doing myself. Bonus points if it has a time limit to give me an incentive to get on and try it straight away.
