Hard to believe it’s this time of year again. Well, if I was a particular good boy this year ,these are the items I would have loved to have under my Christmas tree.

1.) Oculus Rift

I’ve been dreaming of VR games since I was 7 years old. If you have experienced the Oculus Rift in a proper game, you will know this is amazing.

The time for VR is now. My body is ready.

2.) DJI Phantom 3 Professional

My own built drone is, well, …lets say in a grounded state. It’s pretty cool to build your own I guess as you learn things about electronics, flight control and then fine tuning, read: crashing, a lot to get the optimal balance and power etc.

The DJI Phantom saves you from all those heartache. Get to the sky flying and recording. It will be really good for those great MTB trails.

3.) Microsoft Lumia 950

I love the Microsoft ecosystem on my Lumia 930. With Windows 10 on the phones incoming around December this is the phone I would love to own. My 930 does the job admirably and carries the title of the last Nokia flagship phone. The Microsoft Lumia 950 is the next step up.

4.) Lightwave 3D 2015

The 3D package that does it all. If you develop games, or want a fast and professional package to do special effects for TV, this is the affordable solution. VR integrated to work with Oculus Rift, Rendering, Modeling, animation. You can’t go wrong here for the price.

5.) Unity 3D Pro Edition

If you want to get to that next step in your game development, Unity 3D 5 professional is just what the doctor ordered. Esp since the Xmas list already have Lightwave 3D and Oculus Rift. Nothing stops you now in making fully VR ready games or simulations.

6.) Makerbot Replicator 2

Make new parts for your Phantom Drone, covers for your Lumia 950. A thousand and one uses. I mean really, do I need to explain why I would want this to you at all?

7.) Microsoft Band 2

Instead of asking for a watch – why not consider the Microsoft Band 2. With 11 sensors including a Heart-rate monitor, UV monitor, barometer, GPS, you can hook this up to your Lumia 950 and use it to track your fitness, calendar etc.

8.) Microsoft Surface Pro 4

For me, the ultimate tablet. Powered by Windows 10, Surface Pro 4 turns from a tablet into a full powered laptop while running all of your desktop software.

9.) Living Basics Air Frier LB100

With all these toys to play with you still going to need to eat. Why not instead of grabbing a pizza throw something in the Air frier. Healthy and tasty and saves a ton of time.

10.) Pessimist/Optimist Glass set.

Now… if you did’nt get your toys…maybe there is next year? With these ,you can sit quietly and contemplate that possibility.
