Well...

$275 total (and I haven't gotten gifts from half of my family!)
T-shirts (One says "In the beginning there was... PONG)
Sleeping Pants
Bob Ross Master Paint Set
Two Canvases
A new tabletop easel
Bob Ross Paints (These haven't come, but I saw my mom bought them on eBay)
Scale Replica "Defender" Airsoft Gun
Atari Flashback 2 (My parents are having the most flashbacks)
Toolbox (With assorted stuff like: 40-piece socket set, super glue, epoxy, and an Xacto knife set)
Mars Attacks!
Simpsons "Then and Now" Display Set

My mom is a total couponaholic, so she got all of this (except the cash, that came from my grandparents) for under $200.

**EDIT**

I forgot some things:

Assorted Nick Nacks (candy, funny pins, etc.)
Paul Sebastian calogne
the Bass Grimoire

Ok I got to the rest of my gifts this morning.
Two storage containers (I kind of need them for my room)
Meteric and S.A.E Renches
Meteric and S.A.E Ratch set
Canvese tool box (I guess don't remember the proper name)
$200 from my parents
$100 from my Grand-mother
and a 27" TV!

So I got some nice stuff. Now I need to figure out what to the the $200 on. An iPod/Zen, or upgrade my P.O.S desktop.

Upgrade the P.O.S.! :D

Here's a bunch of processor/mobo combo packs, many for <$100. Add in some memory (I've seen 512 MB for $30) , and you should have a pretty good machine. (as long as your case isn't a Dell. It needs to be standard ATX or something like that. Just buy a board that will fit in your current machine.)

At that place, you can assemble a decent machine for $300 8)
