OK, what are you guys buying yourselves for Christmas?

I might not buy myself anything this year, I don't think I need anything!
 
Santa don’t bring no audio equipment no more. I get for my birthday, which is in a couple of days. Just got a Fiio K11 and a Wiim Pro to drive my Sennheiser 57x. With PEQ, the lean bass gets sorted and since I use Apple Music I am cord and dongle free streaming to the Wiim. Thought seriously about the SMSL Raw and Pro Plus but decided this was enough. Thankful for Thanksgiving.
 
OK, I have an addiction to Watches and EDC Pocket Knives. I have many ‘Wish Lists” but I just mostly look and pick stuff I like and add to a growing list. Won’t buy any of it normally. Don’t go out enough and wear a watch to justify. Have about 40 just sitting in a safe. But I did buy a new pocket knife and I love how little it weighs.

Anyone else have this obsession with tool grade watches? I doubt I’m alone.

First knife is $14 USD. It’s a nice made knife and would be a great stocking stuffer.

This is the light weight knife that I mentioned above. It’s currently selling for $79 USD.
 
Not buying any audio gear. Perfectly happy with my setup after upgrading to the Wiim Ultra a couple of months ago.

Bought 4TB during black friday, but besides that, holding off any purchases for my belated christmas present to myself, RTX5090 in Jan/Feb :)

I have way too many watches (approx. 50) and decided not to purchase anymore. I've only bought one in the past 5 years, a cheap Invicta Tag Huer Monte Carlo clone. I'm doing my best to resist buying the watch below. I have quite a few pocket knives too.

 
A Coffee maker. Has to be able to take the whole roasted beans and end up with a hot cuppa coffee automatticaly. Any recs below 400 bucks?

So far only Supra XLR 2 meter analogue cables
 
Have my eye on an Onkyo TX-RZ30 AVR but will not buy until someone reviews it and publishes test data.
 
I know, but I don't think I want anything either, what's wrong with me!
Well, if you don't even want a cake or a bottle or a book or something for yourself then I guess think about what you can gift to others. Admittedly that's not the topic of this thread but I don't think anyone will mind if you mention your ideas.
 
Looking for a cheap 2nd hand Tascam Model 16 mixer with multitrack recording. Looked also for a Allan & Heath QU16 but it is a little too big and heavy for my current use case.

I will use it between my FiiO K11R2R and K7.

My old ears are slowing deteriorating, so this will be my compensation strategy.
