This is a very cool marketing gimmick, but I won't pay $280 for a thumb drive.

Which head? 
Not real funny or clever, but I'd ask Santa for 4 one-way plane tickets to the UK for my kids and me, and a home we could immediately inhabit. Does that sound too greedy?
Since I've been a good boy ...
New gloves?

Watch out King of England.
Does Santa do broadcast/non-broadcast TV sitcom pilots? 
If we are talking about real stuff, what I would like is a pink region free DVD player. I have been trying to find one but it's been a mission and a half. People keep offering me the portable ones with the little screen but I want a proper one.
Bam! - Argos £24.99 - Alba DS-5701 Pink DVD Player. Can't do a link. Most DVD player will be region free now, or at the very least, easily hackable.
Although, I'll be you'd prefer this...
What Lee said. Or Superdrug seem to do them most years; they would be similarly priced.
I want money. Lots and lots of money.

OH MY GOD YES!
You would think that most DVD players are region free but when I ask, I keep finding they are not. Plus I wouldn't know the first thing about hacking one.
It's just a case of pressing menu and then a sequence of numbers. Normally it opens up a secret menu, where you select Region 0 or X.
You could also buy a normal boring colour DVD and put a "face" on it. Which is either like giant colourful stickers or a box that clips around it.

The cheap ones are unlikely to be region free, so don't even bother asking. But pretty much all can be hacked in just a couple of minutes with Mr Google.

I despair, I really do. If the number one reason for buying a product is because of it's ability to match with the rest of your bubblegum flavoured world, then something is seriously wrong.
The latest advert for Dell laptops shows a bunch of fake workers singing and dancing whilst 'cooking' up lap tops in ovens like they're cakes. There's no mention of it's capabilities or performance, it's just 'Hey girls, buy our laptop because it goes with your dress'.
And in America, some of the gun manufacturers are producing pink versions of their pistols for the female market. It's a gun, it can kill people. What next, pink nuclear missiles? It boggles the mind.
I sometimes credit women with more intelligence then they deserve.
Apologies if it seems like I'm singling you out Ruby, it's not the case, as the products created are mass marketed at the female consumer. A consumer base that puts pretty colours above any other consideration apparently.
Again Ruby, not aimed at you, you're fab - I'm just having one my trademark sexist rants.
