The last two years, I got a shotgun and a Henry rifle.
This year, aside from the usual clothes and misc items, my wife bought me a Microsoft Surface II, with keyboard. 64 gigs memory, plus another 32 gigs in the micro SD slot.
Compared to an iPad, far less apps are available. However, it makes up for it somewhat with a usable MS Office suite, making it useful for working. I have used an iPad often, and the iPad may be better for entertainment, as is the nifty Kindle Fire HDX. But, if you have a need for a tablet that can be used for work, it's great. Learning Windows 8.1 is a pain the neck though.
I find it as capable as a low end laptop, although it is much faster. It lacks the hard drive storage, but you can save the big files to the cloud. I had no issues adjusting to the keyboard. Kinda like it. Time will tell.
