Boardgames. We did over half of our shopping at Funagain, they've got an awesome sale going. Better gifts than most modern toys, IMO.

Wife (she is a photographer, which accounts for a bunch of the list):
Citizen Eco-Drive Corso watch
Canon 50mm f/1.4 Lens w/ hood, filter
AleinBees RingFlash
16 GB Extreme III CF Card
160 GB HyperDrive COLORSPACE (basically offloads the contents of a memory card onto a spinning drive at the touch of a button.)
Flip UltraHD
Jill-e photo bag
Manfroto head for tripod
Nice set of pillows (who knew pillows could cost $100 each??!)
A few bottles of her favorite not-sold-in-this-state wine, a Metrokane Rabbit bottle opener and wine glasses

Bunch of other things I can't remember...I start shopping early and tend to go a bit overboard.

Got the kids (age 3 and 6) some sleeping bags, iPod touch 32 GB, dolls, clothes, nerf guns (okay, those are for me too), Webkinz. Not sure what all the wife is getting them.

----

Mom: A huge framed portrait my wife took of our kids/nieces (moms grandchildren)
Dad: Winch for his Kawasaki Mule
Sister and her family: new family computer
Other people: dunno.
