Recommended Gifts for the Tech Savvy?

(1/2) > >>

mouser:
Since most of us here are into technical gadgets and stuff, i thought we might start a thread where people could post suggestions for gifts for people during this holiday season.  Or if you aren't into gift giving but still want to recommend some gadgets, go for it.  All price ranges.

I'll start off with a couple of my favorites:

* Seltzer Maker (~$100) - https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=5598.0
* Dymo Label Printer (~$100 to $200) - https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=6851
* External usb hard driver (~$40 plus hard drive cost) - http://www.directron.com

Never mind tech savvy, how about one of these?
Spoiler Vivat Bacchus Christmas hamper for £45,000

The ultimate treat for lovers of luxury food and drink is on sale at Vivat Bacchus, a South African-themed restaurant, delicatessen and wine bar in London's Square Mile.

The hamper has 21 bottles of wine and spirits including a Meinert Merlot 2000, which was requested by Nelson Mandela for his 85th birthday. It is said to be so rare that only a couple of dozen bottles remain. Six are owned by Vivat Bacchus.

There are also bottles of Romanée Conti 1970, at £15,000, Petrus 1986 at £790, Cristal, the champagne popular with free-spending footballers, at £400 and Richard Hennesy Cognac at £2,000.

The deal includes a three-day wine-tasting trip for two to South Africa, although the air fares to the Jordan vineyard in Stellenbosch are extra.

To accompany the beverages is a kilogram of Royal Beluga caviar and a buffalo horn spoon (£3,400), a leg of Joselito ham from Spain with beechwood and stainless steel stand, preparation knife and carving knife (£1,900), truffles and cheeses.

Nice stocking stuffer, Chris, but what about a suggestion for a big ticket item?

Edit: Sorry, Darwin, I thought there was a toe somewhere in that stocking.
