My pet fave thing would be a mini & cheap projector.

e.g.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/5359724.stm

"A video projector that is the size of a sugar cube has been created
by researchers.

The miniature device could be used to project images from mobile phones,
PDAs or laptops, according to the team.

It was created by researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany.

Traditional projectors use arrays of millions of mirrors to display
footage, but this petite prototype comprises a single tiny mirror.

The width of the projector measures less than 16mm; its height and depth is 9mm.

Inside, a laser is fired at a tiny vibrating mirror, which deflects the
beam to produce the pixels that form the final image.

Presently, the projector can only work with red and blue lasers, meaning
any displays have a limited colour range.

Green diode lasers are not yet small enough to allow the device the full
range of colours. "
