[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 4597841, member: 63"] My roommate has an odd habit of setting arbitrary restrictions on his otherwise significant generosity, and in this particular instance he has told me he intends to get me a Christmas gift, but I have to tell him what to get. And it can either be one gift worth up to $75, or two gifts totaling up to $50. I cannot get two gifts totaling $75, nor can I get three or more gifts. So I'm wondering, what do I want? The cheap answer is a gift card, maybe just to a grocery store to get virtual cash. I know for a fact that my roommate is just odd enough to think that's totally appropriate as a Christmas gift, but it doesn't feel like, y'know, a Christmas present. It should be something that could be wrapped. Maybe a video game, but I've got enough to keep me busy for quite a while. Last year he got me a SanDisk Sansa mp3 player, which I have put to good use, so maybe I could get something electronic, but I don't know what. I don't play PC games, and I don't think $75 could buy a decent graphics card anyway. I could use some new pants, but, like, that's not something one dude gets another. Maybe a chair for my computer? Or a space heater since my room gets the least heat of any in the apartment? A backpack for when I go caving in Brazil next month? A box of Magic cards usually goes for ~$80 online these days. Gah, I can't think of anything I really want, or at least nothing that I need. So yeah, if you have suggestions for cool stuff a geek might want for Christmas, I'm all ears. [/QUOTE]
