hardware that programmers shouldn't be without

[unwashed potato!]

well as christmas is coming up and i have given the 5 people buying me loads this year just 2 presents which are cheap, i am thinking of maybe getting them to get me some stuff i could do with to help me doing what i enjoy the most, programming

i am thinking so far an external hard drive as i work at 3 different houses, and/or a usb for school, which if big enoughcould be instead of the hard drive, how big do usb sticks get to now?

i have just sold my second screen but will be reaplcgint that with the profit i made from it so not in need of one of those.

anything you guys can suggest? something you find helps you immensly when working on the pc?

thanks

thanks guys, didn't think of headphones so thats one to add, will look into them tonight, any suggestions before i do? i know most peopole say to get one that is built for headphones and not the gaming ones.

i got a saitek eclispe keyboard which is great for late night working aswell as my lovely mouse so no real need for any of those.

anything else anyone can suggest? really struggling to find stuff to get this year which is a real bummer as xmas used to just happen so easily
