Here are my virtual Christmas presents for everyone. Hopefully everyone enjoys what they get. Sorry, I don't have any receipts so they are not returnable.
For belfu,
A suite of 3D tools including 3ds Max 2009, Maya 2008, and Houdini. I have a feeling you would find these useful if not enjoyable. I don't know squat about this stuff but these three appear as if they would cover quite a scope of functionality.

For ChinaGirl,
David Bowie Reality Tour album, and two tickets to a show if he ever decides to tour again.

For McNite,
Six months of paid vacation, I was going to go with a year, but I think he may actually like working.
For -Pax-,
Gift certificate to Handled with Care Day Spa. Those shoulders and neck have to be tight from some extended gaming sessions.

For rebelrebel,
Private concert with Luan Parle. moosea is also invited just in case.

For z_man,
He has a real present coming...maybe.
For Blue,
Date with Danish model Malene Espensen. This was a no brainer of a gift selection.

For Igor,
Vacation residence in French Riveria. I would think the girlfriend (wife to be?) would be very pleased. Probably wouldn't be too long till mini Igors are running about after a few stays here.

For STATIK.,
Ferrari Enzo. Hopefully that's a make and model you like. Had to go with something Italian if that's a possible destination for you and my boys love Ferrari's for some reason so had to pick one of them.

For Zackdem,
Also a residence in the French Riveria and a copy of the Zombie Survival Guide. He'll have the fighting skills when the zombie apocalypse comes, but now he'll have the fortress to stay defended in as well.

For hazik,
A completely installed central heating and cooling system. Sorry, this one is a little bit for me too. Knowing for a fact that due to the summer heat in your place that you are in some state of undress because of the actual sounds of your palm striking your bare chest(?) coming through your mic is a little distracting when trying to concentrate on aiming for GDF/Strogg heads. And since you'll enjoying staying inside even more now(and I feel guilty for not getting you something that isn't for me too), you'll find a copy of all PC titles being released in 2010 showing up at your door as they are released.

For Hondekop,
All expenses paid trip to Disneyworld. Maybe not your biggest wish, but hopefully will score some nice points with the women in the family.

For moosea,
A maxed out(with all options) Alienware Area-51 ALX. Another easy choice and maybe not as flashy as some of my other gifts but moosea knows what's important in life... a sweet rig. OK and I couldn't resist ruining the surprise. Make sure you check the optical drive...can you say horseback riding?

For Oakey,
An OCC Pro-Street Chopper with options. Another easy selection. He already has the speed and now he has the cruise as well.

For Xacuit,
A replica of the largest home aquarium with utilities included and choice of livestock. Had to go with this for a fellow aquarist. There are unlimited possibilities with this setup but for some reason I have a premonition of a spike in the snakehead population.
animal.discovery.com/videos/most-outrageous-largest-home-aquarium.html
For Somati,
Mobile satellite internet system(s). No more extended periods without a connection and therefore without QW.

For K4CH,
Gift certificate to Artists Emporium. They look to be decent based on their website, and it has to be at least convenient, but hopefully they really have goods and services you really need.
