An erector set. I was about 10, and I'd gotten a basic erector set a previous year, and I wore it out. So they got me a deluxe set, with more parts, tools, electric motors, and a cool blue metal toolbox to lug it all around in.
Bonus: Funniest Xmas gift I ever got was a Sink the Bismark! board game... when I'd asked for Battleship. I wasn't old enough to understand the Bismark game, so I stashed it in a closet. Years later, on my 14th birthday, I remembered the Bismark game, and the fact that it was recommended for kids 14 and up. I ran upstairs, pulled it out, and had it figured out immediately! It became the favorite board game for my bother and I for years.
