I got some guitar cables from my folks. However, basically everything I buy during the course of a year I consider a gift from my wife, so she doesn't have to get anything for me.

This year, I bought 3 basses (Peavey Fury I, Epi Thunderbird, Peavey T-40), one electric (Retro-H 12-string), one acoustic-electric (Esteban), and an electric-acoustic mandolin. I also bought a Fender Super Champ XD amp. However, I also sold 2 electrics (Retro-H, and a P-90 Partscaster), 2 mixers, and have 2 more small amps on consignment. And I returned a mandolin I'd been borrowing from my dad for several years. Been a much busier year than I expected it would.
