$100-$150, what to get the guy that has everything?

Music products aside, what nifty gadgets, must-haves, etc. are out there?

23... I have no idea what I want, I don't need a single thing.

As far as the Duracell charging station, I sleep with my iPhone in my bed to monitor my sleeping patterns... wouldn't really work out for me.

A Kaos pad or a whole lot of néodyme magnet.

edit: or maybe new filters you wouldn't normally buy for your dslr, it's always fun to play around.

I second the good headphones idea. Also Kindle, workout stuff (cool heavy bag, weights), turntable, bike, speakers.

I was actually thinking about asking for one, myself.

Is it bad that I'm only 20 and already want the cliche presents dads get for Christmas like a tie rack, cologne, tool kit, and other similar things.

Do something good with the money, don't just blow it on some random device you know you don't need or probably even want.

Buy a bag of groceries and/or winter clothes and help out a family that has fallen on tough times. Choose a random family. You can find them at your local Salvation Army or welfare office as an example.

Then double your karma, and go work in a food bank our soup kitchen for the amount of hours that would equal the total you spent on the food at your hourly wage. Example....$25 an hour, work six hours, equals $150.
