The wifes asked me what I want for Christmas and the problem is I have no idea what I want.
So people, what interesting good gadgets are out there that the wife could buy me?
Show me somethings I never knew I needed/wanted.

Hex was quite in to his nitro Helicopters previously I believe.
On the 'activity' - not the time of year, but I've been kinda starting to Hang glide - interesting activity. Do it with the "aero tow" place and you get a decent tandem flight as well as a lesson.
I reckon you've done some snow stuff before, but as with Colin recently did some snow boarding, though had a day's training in May. Went to the Trafford one a few weeks ago and fairly quickly got back in to it.
From watching southpark, how about a Margaritaville .
My last two toy-purchases have totalled 444cc and under 200kg of 2 stroke goodness. Lots of fun and doesn't have to cost that much... but does take a bit of effort to get around and store.
I want to try these; apparently they do work, but suspect not as amazing as some site claim.
A food dehydrator, for making your own jerky - very tempted to get one myself . |

No need for a flesh light I have a wife that allows me to abuse her at will.
Helicopters I have a couple of as G has said, sking was a novel idea but I have skied plenty of times and at some very nice locations.
I like the T equaliser and quite like the wifi t-shirts you can get.
Phone stuff...not interested in. Got my Blackberry for work and that does all i need.
This is the problem I have and the wife has.
I think it would just be random little gadgets that would apeal... so no more bikes G.

If you dont fancy ski ing in a shed being used to nice locations, how about some other kind of activity ? I think these things can be bought as a gift voucher, and used at a later date.
There are loads of fun activities like this. Another one I'd quite fancy if I had a bit of spare cash, is the wind tunnel free fall. In the same way when you do a parachute jump, before you pull the cord, you are free falling, just supported by air, in the vertical wind tunnel, air blows upwards, and you are held up by the air.
Or you could even do a real parachute jump, then there's paragliding, hand gliding all sorts of other things.
Or how about a widget for an activity that you already do ? A camera widgit for photography for example as G has suggeted. ____________________ colin1 is officially faster than god |

Dont think an activity is what Im after (never get much time at the moment between all my work). Also Ive done a few jumps from planes etc as well.
Hmm I have wanted a under water camera for a while, but Im going to get the wife one for Christmas as shes after a new camera.
Paxovasa - got all suggestions
Harold... I donate a fair amount of money to different charities as it is through my masonic activities.
CHR15 - you got anything to swap for her (problem is its mostly my money she spends... So guess I could just bypass the wife and buy you gifts for sexual favours )
I do like the RC tank idea... May go lookat thm later. I can just imagin chasing the cat as I type  ____________________ The BCF's very own Party boy! Though he's getting old and feeling it!
