Oh boy, oh boy! If you're especially lucky you woke up this morning to a few wrapped boxes containing whatever it was you spotted on Engadget and have been lusting after ever since. Sure, we'd love to hear about what you got your loved ones (and maybe even a gripe or two about what you
didn't get), but we're sure what most people have on their minds right now is their take of gifts. Merry Christmas!

2006,
2005, and
2004.

John @ Dec 25th 2007 3:28PM
I got an iPhone from my parents and a Garmin nuvi 660 from my girlfriend. I linked the two together with Bluetooth today (which lets you make hands-free calls, etc) and watched my family's collective jaw drop. Also, Super Mario Galaxy and the usual clothing fare.
I think sometimes we gadget-savvy folk forget about how little the general public actually knows about the technology that's out there. It's fun to see people who are still impressed.
Merry Christmas, everyone!

250$, someone's used bowflex (sweetness anyway), tons of clothes, gloves, hat, and a book of facts. But I'm left wondering what to put the cash towards
somewhere between the iPhone (or some equally cool phone either unlocked or for At&t), Lens for my Nikon, a Logitech VX revolution, some other cool tech item, or spending the next 12500 nights with your collective mother
ideas?

Matt @ Dec 25th 2007 11:25AM
Yeah I got a 50$ gift certificate...not exactly the hi-def tv i was looking for...oh well.
JON BLAST @ Dec 25th 2007 10:46AM
Well seeing as my parents have been paying for my food while i am in law school, the gift of nourishment is good enough for me (but i secretly want a Nintendo DS)

What happened to N64 Kid?

Benjamin @ Dec 26th 2007 2:32AM
I hear ya! Parents helping out with food while I'm in dental school is pretty much all I can ask for now... though they bought me a kick ass heater for my efficiency so I don't have to run my crazy expensive electric heater anymore... maybe the fiancee will come over more now!
Wwhat @ Dec 26th 2007 8:39AM
HAHA, is in lawschool but can only dream of a nintendo DS, that's funny :)
Nick Catalano @ Dec 25th 2007 10:47AM
iTunes Gift Certificates... $230 traded hands last night (I got $40 and gave $90)
mrpaco @ Dec 25th 2007 11:30AM
You might want to check your math there...
Wildness @ Dec 25th 2007 11:45AM
What's the point in that?
Roldero @ Dec 25th 2007 12:36PM
So I guess Apple ended up with $100!
nd @ Dec 25th 2007 12:45PM
wow...are you people dense enough to not figure out that there were more than 2 people at his christmas gathering? good grief charlie brown, turn on your brains fro a second and realize that he gave $90 to various people and wound up with $40 and some other people gave to other people....my goodness...
Ed @ Dec 25th 2007 1:07PM
No, I'm pretty sure it was a typo. 90+40=130, mistyped as 230.
In other news, I got a MacBook, STM Case, Applecare, and a bluetooth mouse (logitech, not mighty).
Craig @ Dec 25th 2007 10:48AM
iPhone, Bluetooth headseet and a Tumi Mobile Power Pack.
RIMM Jobs @ Dec 25th 2007 4:00PM

Charlotte @ Dec 25th 2007 12:29PM
BlueTrek stereo bluetooth headset and Bluetooth Dongle, oooooh yeah!
Iain @ Dec 25th 2007 10:51AM
Just cash.
But, with said cash, I'm probably looking at getting a new sound card, PCI TV tuner, LCD TV and X-Box 360 Elite.
So, not too bad then...
computer.dude.28 @ Dec 25th 2007 11:13AM
That's a lot of cash.
Derry Quinn @ Dec 25th 2007 1:26PM
Cash Is Tasty
Iain @ Dec 25th 2007 6:13PM
Well, yeah, if I had enough cash to just go out and buy all that right now, then it'd be a lot of cash.
I meant more that it will go into a pot that will be put towards said items...
Still, cash is good, no complaints here.
BarryBee @ Dec 25th 2007 10:51AM
Exactly what I was expecting today, NOTHING. Although my Sharp 42" LCD should be here in about 2 weeks.
Paul @ Dec 25th 2007 12:21PM
i took advantage of the black friday sales and got myself a 42" sharp aquos lcd tv as well.....early christmas presents ftw
mattclarkie @ Dec 25th 2007 12:51PM
Same as you, I got nothing, just waiting on the 46" Sony X-series to arrive which is a gift. It was suppossed to arrive before today, but it has been delayed.
Plus I have made a list of things I am going to buy tommorrow in the sales.
Joe Kalicki @ Dec 25th 2007 5:33PM
Ooh, you'll like your Aquos, we just got one. It is amazing. Enjoy!
compguy765 @ Dec 26th 2007 2:10PM
Aquos are the best!!
BarryBee @ Dec 26th 2007 8:10PM
Well that's good to hear seeing how it will be my only ME purchase for a while.
Aloeicious Carload @ Dec 25th 2007 10:55AM
I got three Wii consoles with the special NVidia mod allowing them to run in parallel and the exercise bike peripheral as well as the new 157" Panasonic flatscreen monitor/TV combo!
Uh...no...that wasn't it.
I got a lump of coal.
The Grand Master @ Dec 25th 2007 10:53AM
Some CDs today, but I'm going to be picking up some Bass effects and a 16GB Touch in the very near future...
Andrew M @ Dec 25th 2007 10:48PM
I got lots of CDs, too (sadly, I have yet to replace my dead iPod).
And a Pentax K10D about which I am thoroughly excited.
Will @ Dec 25th 2007 10:55AM
