Christmas Gift ideas anyone?

I keep being asked by my family if there is anything I would like for Christmas, but I can't think of anything!

I'm sure there's got to be a few people out there like me, so I wondered if people could share some ideas on here?

The price would be anything between say £5 - £40, but ideally towards the lower end.

Any books, CDs, DVDs, small gadgets you own, or would like to own from sites such as

ThinkGeek (US site) http://www.thinkgeek.com/
or Firebox.

I bought the Micro-Max 19 in 1 tool from Thinkgeek for $12.99 for my brother last Christmas which went down well!

One thing I have requested this year is the Washable Keyboard from Firebox for £40.

Any suggestions would be good though, especially interesting factual books, or true like stories.

If you haven't already read it, A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking.

A fascinating read.

Thanks, no I haven't read it yet. My parents have a copy so I'll borrow theirs

I do however want to get Andrew Marr's:.

Stories about ordinary Muslims

A Thousand Splendid Suns - Khaled Hosseini
The Kite Runner - Khaled Hosseini

Story about a young girl growing up in war torn Germany

The Book Thief - Markus Zusak

Stories about the East End of London

My East End - Gilda O'Neil

I can highly recommended these books if you like stories about the trials and tribulations experienced by ordinary people leading very different lives.
