I got my dad a USB turntable so he can convert his albums into mp3s or CDs. It also has a built in pre-amp so he can replace his old (non-pre-amp) turntable.

It's a Numark TTUSB. He's already converting his records and it sounds pretty good. I've heard Earth, Wind & Fire - All In All and now Chuck Mangione is playing. It comes with Audacity to do noise removal and editing and things.
You can get the at Guitar Center.

Boyfriend - 1 gb flash drive, The Road to Dune book, 5x5 Rubik's Cube, The Elegant Universe DVD, a nice dress shirt, some jeans, an "in" to go to the Pewaukee Remote Kickoff (and he - a non-FIRSTer - is excited about going!)

To Michelle Celio: a 1gb xD card, and a PANIC! at the Disco box set.

To my mom: another cookbook and some chocolate.

To my dad: new cordless phones as our current ones were dying.

To my sister: another culinary knife to help replace the old set that she had which were breaking (while knives typically give bad connotations, this gift didn't, since she, like every member of my family, loves cooking).

To my neices and nephew: some more toys to add to their already massive collections.
