Mine was a snow cone maker when I was 8.
Man, I loved that machine. Snow Cones are still my favorite food today.

Boba Fett. I loved him.
The saddest Christmas was the year my parents decided I was too old for toys (11).

For me, this an easy question.
When I was ten I got a Crossman Air Rifle (pellet gun). Just like Ralphie in 'A Christmas Story" this was the best present a ten year old could receive. Especially since the pellet gun was a much more formidable weapon than Ralphie's BB gun. I still have it and it's in excellent condition.
I learned to shoot with this and no bird, rabbit or ground squirrel was safe when in my sights. I feel pangs of guilt for every one I shot, now. If there is an afterlife, I'm sure I will have to answer for each one.

My parents had very little money when I was a kid; we weren't that sort of romantic poor that many think they were, we were dirt poor. When I was about 12, things started to turn around and by the time I was 14 we were mid-to-upper-lower class. So when I was 14 I was shocked when my parents gave me a used Tandy CoCo 2 computer for Christmas.
I learned to program that thing like a
m*ther-f**ker.
