One of them, I've been waiting to see if any of your sharp eyes would comment on:
the tree skirt is on a mini robot sumo field. (if you ask questions about that, I'll have to get help.)

Dewalt drill parts (plastic casing, gears, etc.)
Brazed steel ball from Sci-Tech Game hung with fishing line
Chain with sprocket ornaments
Power button earring prototype (Made of Aluminum)
Resistors still capped on either end by paper packaging (used as garland)
Formica Capacitors still in packaging (used as garland)
Floppy discs circa 1980--Tape+Casing
Remains of LEGO USB casing

Edit: I asked about the mini robot sumo field and this is the info I got:
Mitchel - "This is the field we take to outreach events (e.g.SMART Camp) and whose paint scheme (black interior, white on the outer rim) is useful for teaching the basics of the LEGO light sensor. I say "mini" not because the robots which compete on it are mini, but because the larger version, used for Advanced Tech, is more along the lines of a 10 ft. diameter rather than say 2.5." ( I didn't get to attend the SMART camp because I was volunteering at an off season. The SMART camp was developed as the Eagle Scout project of one of our seniors.)
