Well... I got some nice gifts. I will start with the less significant ones and end with la creme de la creme.
A bag of Star Wars toys.
A HTC Tattoo phone (used but in good shape).
3 soundcards: ESS1688, Yamaha 719 and Creative SoundBlaster 128 4 channels.
3 motherboards: 1 SS7 with ALi chipset and unknown CPU (K6-2, I presume); 2 BX boards, 1 unknown and 1 the famous Abit BH6, and a P II 400 CPU.

And now... I saved the best for last...
1 Voodoo3 3000 AGP
and
1 IBM ThinkPad 600E, P II 366, 128 Mb RAM, 6 Gb HDD. The BIOS battery is dead, it has no charger or optical drive; Otherwise in good working order, and the main battery is still holding a charge. I already ordered a BIOS battery, charger, CD-ROM, 512 Mb SDRAM and 2 SD to ATA 44 adapters.
I think it will make a decent mobile DOS box; the video is not good enough for 3D games.

Y2K box: AMD Athlon K75 (second generation slot A)@700, ASUS K7M motherboard, 256 MB SDRAM, ATI Radeon 7500+2xVoodoo2 in SLI, SB Live! 5.1, VIA USB 2.0 PCI card, 40 GB Seagate HDD.
WIP: external midi module based on NEC wavetable (Yamaha clone)

My birthday is close enough to Christmas that GOG and Steam sales were going on this year when it hit, so as a result, I got all of the dozen games on my GOG wishlist and about 10 games from Steam wishlist last month! :3

Suffice to say I haven't played all of them yet. ^_^;

I also just buy myself the presents I really like 😀

However this year I put 100 bucks in my Steam wallet and ended up not buying a single game. Most of the games I already got through other sales, and the ones I wanted didn't go under buy 10 bucks (which is when I buy a Steam game). So I'll wait until the next one 😁

Some gift certificates and cash, mostly. 🤣 I'm planning on using some of it for a copy of Diablo III. I just started playing the starter edition and despite the slight over-simplification, it's FUN. 😁
