What to Buy for Christmas?

This year I am stuck. What should I buy my wife and kids for Christmas? I want it to be meaningful, useful and will not put me in the poor house. My daughters are 9 & 12 and my wife will kill me if I put her age. Any Suggestions?

    My kids made their wish lists and put just about everything they’ve seen in a commercial on it. And most things were way over our budget. When I took them out shopping for each other though, I noticed they were wanting to shop for themselves instead of each other. The excuse was “If Cora doesn’t like it, she’ll let me play with it.” What they were most disappointed about not being allowed to buy were the less expensive things too. Looks like we’ve got a few $10 items to pick up now, versus the few hundred dollars it would take to buy the walking dinosaurs and cell phones they wanted!

    Maybe a spellchecker? Sorry I couldn’t resist. “What to Buy for Chirstmas?” Time is always a great thing. If it has to be something material, then something the family can use together. For something completely silly try this, http://www.thinkgeek.com/electronics/cameras-photography/afbc/?cpg=84H. I’ve always wanted to know what my dog was doing while were away.
    Yes, I ran this through a spellchecker.

    I can’t imagine anything Abby would love more than a week in San Diego with her friends… Bethany? A shopping spree… Terri – a spa weekend with a good friend.
