Self explanatory. List your last 5 gizmos or toys. Nothing overly professional or too esoteric to be understood by the other dopers. So, watches, cameras, mp3 players, music systems, V8 lawnmosers, 8-speed pocket-rockets and in-dash sat-nav systems qualify, but towed sonay arrays, $10,000 servers, MRI machines and personal zamboni machines dont. I’ll get this started. 1. New digicam, Konica Minolta DiMage [Z1](http://konicaminolta.com/products/consumer/digital_camera/dimage/dimage-z1/), to replace the Sony cybershot that the sniperfangess lost. 2. Victorinox [Swissmemory](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002VM8ZM/103-8257215-1856659?v=glance&n=284507) tool. 3. iPod Photo [30GB](http://reviews.designtechnica.com/review2622.html) 4. Koss [KSC75](http://www.ecoustics.com/dt/3133) headphones for the iPod. Best damn 'phones Ive ever bought. 5. My pride and joy, the Tissot [T-Touch](http://www.engadget.com/2004/12/13/review-of-the-tissot-t-tactile-watch/) titanium. Your turn. ---

This really had me thinking. I hardly ever buy stuff like that for myself, but I get them as gifts. 1. A coloring book and crayons. I was feeling kind of childish, and it was a dollar and the stupid pictures in it were cracking me up, so I bought it. What, it’s a toy! 2. A new car, after I hit a deer with my other one and only had liability insurance. It’s a 2004 Ford Focus. Now I have full coverage :D. 3. My new cell phone. Exactly the same as my old one, except it hadn’t been dropped in a toilet. 4. My camera. Canon S410. Technically I got it as a gift for my birthday, but I picked it out. 5. Nothing. I couldn’t think of a 5th thing. Like I said, I hardly ever buy things for myself, plus I’m poor. ---

I thought you meant actual toys. That would be a Harry Potter wand and a Lego castle. For me, I don’t get toys. I wish I did. I got a loofah. \ ---

Ipod Nano, 4GB, black. Also the tubes. I only use the white one. 5.1 Altec Lansing speaker set. On hindsight, I should’ve been more picky. DVD player that plays divx/mpeg/avi, and a whole bunch of other less important formats… big screen pr0n, baby! Canon S1IS digicam. Beautiful piece of equipment. And then 2 months later, they launched the S2 :smack: PS2, chipped, with one wireless controller. And a boatload of games. ---

Is no one going to admit to buying B.O.B.'s? :dubious: If not, I sure won’t. ---
