I was surprised by a Sony PSP, this thing is absolutely incredible.

Almost Ps2 standard games (GTA is superb) and always it connects wirelessly to the internet ( was surfing PH during the adverts for the simpsons). And you can view all your pics and videos on it too.

Very impressive,

whats everyone elses favourite presents this year?

all the best

My favourite was also a PSP, the Gigapack with four games, plus son also bought me a game.

Loads of other stuff but that was best, not a surprise though as wife and I buy our own main presents, then hand them over to be wrapped, they are then put away until Christmas Day, other smaller gifts are surprises.

Maybe not conventional but it works for us

My daughter got me some lovely flowers, shame they wont last last long, but we have taken lots of pictures. My son got me LOTR Two Towers on CD the dramatised version, so that will be going in the car and on the ipod.

But my husband got me an eternity ring, with no prompting, and I love it.

My best present was just being allowed to celebrate the Birth of Christ, before it gets banned.

yes, that means your presents were better than mine

I used a picture of him in a presentation recently - it was on dangerous vegetables in pregnancy!! It was by far the most entertaining presentation on the most boring research critique!!!
