I didn't get anything bee related but I did get 2 pairs of slippers and the usual choccy/ fattening stuff. I bought my self an iPad a couple of months ago but for Christmas I got a funky pair of plug in speakers. I love my iPad, it has kindle, kobo and an e reader on it, it doesn't completely make books obsolete but it is good to take on holiday or read at work whilst pretending to work!

HTC Android phone + kindle software, a bit small for reading but always with me; iPad, brilliant but too large to go in my pocket; aah - Kindle for Christmas - just right! Ziplock bag and I can even read in the bath, my favourite refuge. I do love technology! (Speaking as someone who had one of the first ever Sinclair calculators then computers, and once worked with a whole roomful of computer that was all of 2K!)
