Bad news, Hal: You're growing up. There comes a time when "new toy" takes the form of all those things you need. Or, like me this christmas: a new shower head (much needed), a golf ball shagger (handy!), a cute picture of lurkette and me (yay! my office is pretty sparce), a jar of my aunt's homemade plum jam (yum!), etc.
Be grateful for what you got. There will come a time when you're very glad for that tea kettle and that tool set. You know, your family really thought about this, and said, "Years from now, after he's long forgotten playing Worlds of Warcraft, he'll still have this silverware." Amusement is ephemeral; housewares are enduring.
