Still struggling to find something to buy me for Christmas? Shame on you, now I’ve had to go out of my way to put together a list for you. At least now you know that by buying me something from this list you’ll be earning my temporary gratitude. Failing that I do accept cash, so feel free to send as much as you like.

1: Samsung 27″ Curved LED Monitor

If you buy me this, then I will personally come to your house and perform unimaginably degrading acts for your entertainment. NOT. EVEN. JOKING.

27″ of curved beauty would sit perfectly in between my current 2 x 24″ and make my desktop about 1000% sexier than it already is.

Look at it. LOOK! It’s about as sexy as a piece of tech can possibly get without breaking a variety of anti machine-humping laws!

(Price: R7099 from Takealot.com)

2: Microsoft Surface Pro 3 (i7 1.7ghz, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD)

On the subject of unbelievably sexy tech, this one is right up there. Finally a device that can properly replace my bulky laptop without me having to compromise on so many aspects as I do with a tablet. Sure it’s ridiculously expensive, but unlike Maybelinne I KNOW I’M WORTH IT!

(Price: F*CKING LOTS! $1849 from Microsoft)

3: Gigabyte NVIDIA GTX 980TI G1 Gaming 6144MB Graphics Card

That’s right, the GTX970 has had a good run, but it’s time to upgrade to the big boy. Plus, when I eventually get one of these I shall hand the 970 down to MiniPikey and the cycle of gaming shall continue! This puppy will laugh while it chews up any game you throw at it. I NEED ONE.

(Price: R14099 from Takealot.com)

4: SanDisk Ultra II Solid State Drive 480GB

This is another upgrade that I don’t necessarily need, but definitely want. My current 256GB SSD gets filled up way too quickly with 60GB+ games being the norm these days so I end up having to shuffle games back and forward from the 2TB HDD to the SSD when I want to play them. Annoying as hell. So buy me a bigger SSD, you want to, trust me.

(Price: R2949 from Takealot.com)

5: HEXO+ with 3DGimbal

What’s cooler than a drone with a camera that you can fly? Correct, a drone with a gimbaled camera that flies itself and tracks you! So next time you’re trail running or off roading or something similarly energetic you can get a full 360 video recording of yourself in action! (Motivation to get off the couch not included)

(Price: $1349 from Hexoplus.com)

6: Han Solo (frozen in carbonite) Fridge

Okay, so this fridge may have been around for a while already, but this fridge will never make its way off my wishlist (unless someone buys it for me *hint hint*). Plus I would get to reenact the Boba Fett and Frozen Han Solo scene from Robot Chicken… you know the one. Yeah, you do. Mmmmmmmmmmmm.

(Price: $159.99 from ThinkGeek.com)

7: ASTRO Gaming A50 Wireless Headset

A proper headset is unbelievably important when it comes to PC FPS gaming, being able to hear someone sneaking up behind you can often make the difference between being the teabagger or the teabaggee. I currently use the excellent Creative Sound Blaster Recon 3D Omega wireless headset, but it’s coming to the end of it’s life and I need a replacement set ASAP. You can’t go too far wrong with a sexy set of A50s from Astro Gaming.

(Price: $193.49 from Amazon.com)

8: The Polycade – Retro Arcade of the Future

If you frequently get hit in the guts by waves of nostalgia and have a ton of money lying around that you don’t want anymore, then this is the one for you! Although buying it for me would be a better use of your money. I’m pretty sure you could write it off as a charitable donation. Enjoy the arcade hits of yesteryear in the comfort of your own home, while maintaining your hipster street cred (is that a thing hipsters have?) with the Polycade.

(Price: The Polycade is currently in KickStarter, you can check it out at polycade.com or on kickstarter )

9: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Hylian Shield Replica Prop

A custom, hand-made Hylian Shield replica… nuff said!

(Price: $625 from the creator’s Etsy site HERE )

10: NINTENDO control pad solid wood coffee table

The second custom made item on my list, and it’s a beauty. What geek wouldn’t want this table in their house? ONLY A FAKE ONE, THAT’S WHO! From UK-based company AsBeAu (a play on the french for beautiful and the criminal status of ASBO *AntiSocial Behaviour Orders* given to young offenders in the UK) this table is made from reclaimed, upcycled wood. So you’re even doing something to help the environment! Yay you! Buy me two!

(Price: $443.58 from the Creator’s Etsy page HERE )

There you are folks, my Christmas demand list. Yes, I know what you’re thinking “But Sir Pikey, why is your Christmas list so awesome and better than any Christmas list that’s ever been created before?!” Well that’s an easy one my little padawans, I am the best human being that has ever lived. Now go about your day, and don’t forget to ship my presents down EXPRESS. If they arrive late I shall hunt you down one by one.
