If Santa is Father Christmas, these tree ornaments take care of the mother part – they’re made from recycled motherboards. You get three pieces for your buck: a green tree, blue star, and red bell. Goes perfectly with a slice of Raspberry Pi.

The only thing better than chocolate is Lego – and this Star Wars advent calendar is packed with the good stuff. You get a vertiable Imperial Legion of minifigures and little Lego kits, including a General Grevious Starfighter and a suitably Christmas themed Hoth AT-AT Walker. Just ignore the suggested age part.
