Family gift/gift to share w/$20 budget?

[MommyAllison]

A relative sent a $20 check for the kids for Christmas. We usually use this person's check for something the kids can share, one year we used it for sleds...but I can't think of anything for this year. We have plenty of sleds :) and it's too cold and snowy here for any other outside winter toys. Any ideas? We will see this relative at Christmas so I'd like to be able to share what we've used the money for then. Thanks!

Puzzles, board games, a DVD, yard games (for summer), balls...basketball, football, soccerball

ok...so several of my ideas are more summer-centric...but the kids may like them.
