I have been doing a lot of thinking lately about Christmas and how I am unable to get the kids all the things they really want, seeing as how I don't have much money this year. I've told them that to make up for it, I will let them have some money when I get my taxes back in February to buy whatever they want. The girls both want cell phones, but I am not sure that will be possible, since a gift like that comes with a monthly bill that I can not afford. I was thinking I might try to talk them into laptops. Ryan already has one, and the girls are constantly fighting over mine. Having their own would stop the fighting.
Of course I would do some research first to find the best deal. There are Think Geek coupons online that I can use on all kinds of electronic devices and other things, and of course I am sure I could find a Dell coupon or two as well. My computer is a Vaio, and I love it, but it cost me $600, and I am not going to be able to spend that much on my kids. My mom has a Dell, and she has never had a problem with it.
Ryan is going to be harder to buy for. Since he already has a laptop and a cell phone, it will be harder to find something that he wants. He has been talking about an xbox, but if I get that, which I plan on doing, it would be for all of them, not just him. Maybe I will just hand him a ThinkGeek promo code and let him decide what to get for himself. I would give him a price limit, of course. Otherwise, he's likey to spend my entire refund check.
