My brothers are the easy ones to get stuff for. I got one of them the 30 gig Ipod and some Ipod accessories and then I also got him a video cam for his laptop cause he was going to Germany so I figured we could use Skype for video conferencing.

My other brother and I are both staying right where we are, in the US, so we decided we wouldn't get anything excpensive for each other. Now I just have my Mom, Dad and Step Dad to get shit for and as luck would have it, they are the harder ones.

I did order my mom one of those Head Spa Massager helmet things.

In the last two weeks, I've probably picked up about 6 different USB cameras. My favorites for the Desktops are the Logitech QuickCam Pro 5000 or the Orbit MP. The Orbit is one of the more expensive webcams but it is motorized and can make a really good video conferencing toy for your desktop. Of course if you are using a laptop, such as my Brother and Myself, we got the Logitech QuickCam for Laptops, its very small and easy to stash into the laptop case. Of course if size isn't an issue, you can also get the Logitech QuickCam Ultra Vision, which is a somewhat bigger and has better video and audio then mine
