I received a Tide Clock which is synced with the moon, not the sun and gives a day 24 hours and 50 minutes, and a twice daily cycle of High and Low Tide. One revolution takes 12 hours 25mins and High Tide is in the 12 o'clock position, Low Tide in the 6 o'clock position. THe numbers around the sides tell you how long to the next turn of the next turn of the tide, eg 5 hours to go, 4 hrs etc. Brilliant bit of kit!
I gave a Kindle. We've both already got iPads.
As a reward for keeping an old iPod Nano 1 on my Shelf Of Old Technologies, long after it had stopped working, Apple sent me a brand new, cute little iPod 6. Of course, I had to give them my old, useless thingie, and I no longer have it to remind me of days of yore when life was simple, but it was a nice gesture, nonetheless. Arrived two days before the big X. Woo hoo!
Both arrived either on or before Christmas Eve.
...which I promptly used to purchase iTunes Match. Now I know I'm protected if something goes wrong with my Hard Drive full of tunes. I can re-download them anytime. What a wonderful gift!!
I bought iTunes match for myself for thanksgiving. one of my laptops went bad did a reinstall used iTunes match work like a champ!!
for the kids. I have to say, I am really impressed by the Kinect. I already have a 360, but was not really sold on the the Kinect - until the whole family got hooked by it on Christmas day. I have an 8 year old and a 6 year old and they both love it - my wife loves it too. Great fun for the family.
A new monitor 24 inches

Maybe we're contrarians, but no one in my extended family got any technology presents this x-mas. Not that we don't have our share of kindles, nooks, iphones, ipads, macbooks, androids, PS systems and so on - but I guess we get them when we want/need them. Or maybe it's a more personal decision so we get them for ourselves.
This X-mas was more like odds and ends such as Muay Thai Pads, all kinds of board games, subscriptions to Quarterly Inc., various DVDs or products from artists through Kickstarter, gift cards, etc. And of course... tons of clothes. :)
