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

    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!

    "Someday, I am going to go to bed without toys on the floor and sippys in my sink. Things will stay where I put them and I can have nice, fragile items on display. But when I do, I will look around with a wistfullness in my heart and miss the days where vibrant imaginations ran wild and there was evidence of life happening around me all the time!"

    How about some board games. There are some good deals list on that mile long Amazon thread in Deals.

    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.
