I think I bought everybody something electronic/gadget related this year...! Oh wait, not the office secretaries and my boss. *whew...*
Gadgets include: those Intellivision replicas that have like 15 games, CompUSA and Best Buy gift cards, 2.1 speakers, a keyboard, mouse, and speaker set for one of my pupils at the library, iTunes prepaid cards for a few people...
As far as awkward gifts go... I guess getting a Calculus teacher 2.1 speakers for his school computer is overkill? My teacher made a few small complaints about the lack of speakers on his machine. My friend and I thought it would be funny if we not only got him a decent pair of speakers, but a nice subwoofer, too. My teacher is goofy, so we're hoping he'll play some hip hop CD during class one day with the bass turned up all the way.
