Wow... sweet (http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/10/diy-3d-printer-utilizes-hot-air-sugar-to-craft-random-objects/)!
A do it yourself 3D printer that prints in SUGAR!
Could probably make back that $1000 on making Christmas gifts, that is till everyone figures out what a cheap bastard you are and strings you up on a tree and whips your bare ass with a thistle (hehe we were bad kids on the farm :P ).
But then you can remind them that they're made of CANDY!
AWESOME++
Theres also that 3d printer that does chocolate that some University student did. I'll take one of each :D
