Can you help me with gift ideas?

I am in the frustrating situation of living as a practical human being. I know I have everything I need to be content even though I’m 17. Here’s my dilemma, I need to come up with stuff I want for Christmas. This is made more difficult by my choice to join the armed forces. I ship out in July, so I need even less stuff because I will have my necessities issued to me. My question is then, what should I ask my inquiring family for, assuming I am a normal guy?

Thank you for your help.
