Like Map, no-one I know would ever presume to identify an audio toy that I might want, and I'm sure that the general assumption is that if I really wanted it, I'd buy it for myself (or already own it). So, no audio toys, but....
My wife bought me the same thing this year as last year; another Polyscience Immersion Circulator for cooking sous vide. Not an audiophile gift, but a reasonably tech kinda toy, nonetheless.
In a twist on Zavato's complaint, I didn't pay for it (she used her own funds) and we're not divorcing (to my knowledge, anyway), but she and her friends will be eating their fair share of the output from the machine, so it's just a teeny, tiny bit self serving. OTOH, I love her dearly and dig the gift in a big way.
