Sega Master System II with Sonic the Hedgehog built in (much better than that Alex the Kid BS). Granted, all my friends were on Mega Drives and SNES by then but still...
I got bought a Creative Zen Touch by my family a few years back - it made my life so much nicer at a time I couldnt really afford much (including the music to go on it).
before that It was my Ghostbusters Gun (shot nerf type bullets) and a home made proton pack created from a washing powder box
I've always liked presents that give me something to make or do, like a radio control kit (christmases over the past 25 years have often been spent building a car/boat/plane/heli) or PC components.
My Dad turning up completely unexpectedly on Christmas Eve 1976 with a 48hr Pass from his current tour in Northern Ireland, no Christmas has ever and will ever be as good
Optimus Prime transformer back in 1985, it was one of the "must have" toys that year and apparently my parents searched high and low to get their hands on one.
No present before or since then has even come close to the freedom that silver hog gave me back in the day.
My mate got one of those bikes that make noises (Raleigh wolf) the same year, i was jealous for about 5 minutes until he did a bunny hop and some of the electronic wizardry dropped off.....oh how we laughed
