Little-Miss Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 So, what's on your list to Santa?! I love my gadgets, but as im so spoilt i'm having difficulty finding anything i want this year lol. Ma & Pa have said they'll buy me a new base unit or laptop(woo hoo! Told you i was spoilt!). But my boyfriend wants me to do him a list but i'm stuck. So far i've found some Wireless speakers and a Bluetooth device i can pair up with my Ipod so i stop missing phone calls!! Anyone getting any gadget for xmas that i havent realised i need yet?
duncane Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 You won't be interested, and it isn't a gadget... but I'm putting a couple of DVDs on my list - "SuperTed" and "Will Cwac Cwac" - in their original Welsh. (I'm learning Welsh with the Open University.)
srochford Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 I want an Archos 5 with mini-dock and I want some kind of netbook (but I can't decide which!) @little-miss - do you think you could sneak my items into your list as you're so spoiled :-)

I really wanted an Archos last year, but having a PSP and a Ipod Classic i cant find a reason to get one....
yabbadabba Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 Mine doesnt even need power, have any microchips or OS. Doesnt crash, play music or DVD's. Its not used for communication, if anything when its in use no one can get hold of me easily. I am after a new quick release belt for my Waveski. £29.99 so it shouldnt break the bank
Kitkatninja Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 I love surprise prezzies at Christmas/birthdays, however have asked my wife for Sacred 2 (PC game) this year -Ken

I got a Samsung Omnia and an Ipod classic lol I love surprise prezzies at Christmas/birthdays, however have asked my wife for Sacred 2 (PC game) this year That's my fella's job. I'm really hard to buy for, so i give him a list and he picks some of them, but last xmas he bought me a PSP, which was a lovely suprise!
FN-GM Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 if your gona get a laptop get a macbook Maybe you could get a wiifit Maybe an iTrip so you can listen to your iPod in the car
tech_guy Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 I've been looking at one of these for myself....
TechMonkey Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 No idea for this year. Asked for a Saxamaphone and a Polar buff to keep my neck all warm on the bike.
EvLPhenom Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 I want a PS3 but not sure if i will get one though......thing is though i only really want it for the bluray drive because i have a xbox 360 for all my gaming needs
Hightower Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 Sorry for being a grinch but I've told people I don't want anything this year. I'm at the age where if I want stuff I'll get it myself. And I hate the idea of people buying junk that I'll never use, what a waste of money.
Jiser Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 US $ for me, same for the birthday in march! Thats all whats on my xmas santa list.
plexer Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 Sony A200 DSLR for me, plus my folks are getting me a sub to a photography magazine. Seems that the Archos 605 has really come down in price recently presumably with the new ones that have come out. I really wanted a 605 before I saw some bad reviews about them and people sending them back etc... Ben
Little-Miss Posted November 17, 2008 Author Posted November 17, 2008 I really wanted to get a DSLR but "Santa" said no.. Will have to save hard!
plexer Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 Thats why I'm going for the Sony gets good reviews but isn't going to break the bank plus I just one a konica beer can lens on ebay to go with it Ben
sidewinder Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 Sorry for being a grinch but I've told people I don't want anything this year. I'm at the age where if I want stuff I'll get it myself. And I hate the idea of people buying junk that I'll never use, what a waste of money. Same. If I really needed something I'd ask for it, but then if I needed it that badly I'd probably have bought it myself. So I dont want anything. I certainly dont want anyone going out and buying some stupid novelty gift that I "might like" and playing right into retailers hands. I do love Christmas (despite being an atheist) but its more about having time off and spending time with family than presents for me
Little-Miss Posted November 17, 2008 Author Posted November 17, 2008 Same. If I really needed something I'd ask for it, but then if I needed it that badly I'd probably have bought it myself. So I dont want anything. I certainly dont want anyone going out and buying some stupid novelty gift that I "might like" and playing right into retailers hands. I do love Christmas (despite being an atheist) but its more about having time off and spending time with family than presents for me I always end up with stuff i dont use, and then feel really bad about it. That's why i usually do a list. It's not as much fun as a suprise, but at least you're getting what you want.
RabbieBurns Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 I buy myself anything technical wise I need during the year, leaving nothing for others to get me. So will just ask for the usual aftershave, socks, shower gel and stuff that I generally just get at xmas and it lasts the year. edit: And someone better get me a selection box this year!
Little-Miss Posted November 17, 2008 Author Posted November 17, 2008 lol, just like my boyfriend. All he cares about is the selection box. I use xmas to get peeps to buy me the things i couldnt afford! mwah ha ha..
sidewinder Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 Sorry to be even more of a grinch but selection boxes annoy me too! Nothing wrong with chocolate of course but it just seems wasteful putting it in a huge plastic tray 3 times the size of the stuff. I have the same gripe with easter eggs
SteveBentley Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 Sony A200 DSLR for me I've just bought one of these, it really is fantastic.
