To qualify for the list:
- It must be smaller than a breadbox
- It has to have electronic and/or moving parts

I started writing down the list of gadgets I have had at some point in time but quickly gave up 98. PEZ DISPENSER, 90. MAELZEL METRONOME, 89. RUBIK'S CUBE, 81. ZIPPO WINDPROOF LIGHTER, 75. LASER POINTER, ...
The top 10:
10. TIVO SERIES1, 1999
9. ATARI 2600, 1977
8. DIAMOND MULTIMEDIA RIO 300, 1998
7. U.S. ROBOTICS PILOT 1000, 1996
