OK, so my parents need a couple of suggestions to choose from to get me for Christmas and they have to buy it soon because of scheduling. The problem is, I have no idea what to ask for. This is where you guys come in. What would be cool to have. I already have a few things like a laptop, camera, and iPod so those are out of the question. What else could I ask for? What do you guys want for the holidays. Any help here would be great!!! THANKS
 
get me a mac mini! :D


ask for the expensive accessories for stuff that you alreay own that you want but wouldnt spend the money on yourself...such as $100 headphones for your ipod..:D

seriously......
 
umm, automotive stuff? (if you drive)

maybe some hardware... ext. HDD,
umm...
gift card / cash... then you can do whatever...
 
The thing is, I would like a new computer, but they can't afford that right now. I asked and my mom said somewhere around a couple hundred. What else is nice to have around this price?
 
Anything I want is beyond a couple hundred bucks. See: post in GenMay area. :D

Anyway, you can be the good son and not ask for anything. If you desire a present however, is there anything you find you lack with current setup, something that could be improved?

Need more space? External hard drive or hard drive + enclosure.
Audio freak? Get some Shures or Etymotic earbuds (can easily break $100+).
Gamer on the go? Nintendo DS Mario Kart bundle + Advance Wars DS + something
Programmer? The Art of Computer Programming or similar.

etc. etc.
 
I face this with my parents a lot as I can afford most of my own toys. It sounds kind of lame but if you can think of nothing you really need hardware wise, ask for stuff like socks, boxers, household items needed. This year I asked for soccer shoes, bag, socks, and a couple books. Amazons wish list worked well for me and my mom.

 
K, well I want to build a computer and I was looking into having my mom and stepdad getting me a part or two, and my dad and stepmom a part or two, but I dont know about this cause I am not sure if I will be able to get the rest of the stuff. Also, a few of my friends tell me to get a PSP but I am a little hesitant. What else can you guys think of and what are you asking for? (Don't limit to price on what your're asking for)

Click to expand...
Nintendo DS + Mario Kart + Advace Wars + Trauma Center = instant winner.
 
I am not a big fan of the DS actually (nothinh against it though) As for the 19 LCD, I kinda need a computer for it first. Man I am really stumped here. Any other cool gadgets out right now?
 
Check & see if your laptop can drive 2 screens at once and not in clone mode. If it can & you don't already have a monitor, ask for a monitor for some dual screen goodness.
Just be warned... dual monitors are like crack. You will get addicted. Of course, it's much better than crack in that the only down side (other than the cost of the second screen) is doing certain things on a machine with only one screen will cause mild twitching.

Since I don't have a computer, I am not sure about all of the upgrades. I don't think I can get a mac mini due to the price. I was looking into it though.
