Good practicaly birthday gifts?

My mother keeps asking me to come up with brithday gift ideas for myself, so she can spread them around to the family. Problem is, I can’t think of anything I really want (barring computer equitment, which I don’t trust my family to shop for). Does anyone have anything practical that they enjoy having around?

Keep in mind, I’m 19 and male, and my dorm doesn’t allow most things that produce heat…
