The TDK D90 five-pack. The classic couldn't-think-what-to-get-him present. Always welcome. Except with my older cousin who once threw a hissy fit because he insisted on AD90 for his shite 80s hair metal.

I still can't listen to I Am The Resurrection without making a mental note of exactly where in the song the 45 minutes of tape would end.

I have well over 1000 tapes in sneaker boxes in the loft. Won't ever play them again, but won't ever part with them either.

Minidiscs were great, especially once you discovered how much you could fit on a disc if you played about with the settings, then had a weekly lending cycle on the go with your friend who worked in Tower Records and brought home pretty much every classical and jazz CD they had (because they were allowed to do that).

Reminds me of the many songs i recorded off vinyl which had a tiny scartch or other foible, but you'd heard it so many times like that, such that when you heard it properly, it sounded wrong. In fact i even used to sing in the scratch.
