Since it's evidently Christmas now in some parts of the world, and because people open stuff on Christmas Eve too, here's a topic to list any cool you shit you get.
The only thing I know I've gotten so far is a couple shirts.

An old flame (not exactly an ex) sent me a roll of 12 inch wide duct tape. I was ecstatic, and want more. She also sent me the 2007 page a day duct tape guys calendar. More to come from other people.

It's a hackey sack, basically. It's a dirtbag with sand in it instead. Heftier, better in my opinion.

I still haven't opened anything from my parents, but now I'm relatively sure I got a Wii. My brother knows it's backward compatible with the GameCube, and I came home today from my girlfriend's house, I was ready to play some GameCube to kill some time, and I see a big empty space where it used to be. I asked my mom where it was, and she said "Your brother took it. I told him not to, but you won't...that's all I said."
The last part could be because she was tired, or because she was about to say "you won't miss it." Either way, I know that my brother can't afford to buy new consoles, knows the GameCube is the only console I have, (the disk drive on my PS2 broke...grumble grumble) and had no interest whatsoever in the GameCube before today. I'm pretty sure I'm getting a Wii, and he's gonna say tomorrow "Now that you have that, can I keep your GameCube?"
