I saw this on Rocketboom

I rather liked the Portable Rotary Cellular Phone
http://www.sparkfun.com/tutorial/Port-O-Rotary/portable-rotary.htm

It's an old fashioned phone with an embedded cell phone (as the 
Americans quaintly call a mobile)

The Open Source gift guide
http://www.makezine.com/go/osgg

There are hundreds of gift guides this holiday season filled with junk 
you can buy - but a lot of time you actually don't own it, you can't 
improve upon it, you can't share it or make it better, you certainly 
can't post the plans, schematics and source code either. We want to 
change that, we've put together our picks of interesting open source 
hardware projects, open source software, services and things that have 
the Maker-spirit of open source.
