    I gave my wife an old favorite:

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          Got MFR a vacuum.

          No, really. It was what she wanted. A cordless vac to do stairs and the prep area in the kitchen where the floor always gets bombarded with stuff.

          Plus a bunch of other stuff she wanted.

          Got the kid a bunch of stuff plus a sizeable check. Where she is in her masters program she can't work as much.

                    We have a rechargeable Dustbuster. Had it for about 6 years. It's very serviceable, but I'll keep this in mind when my Dustbuster dies.

                        I don’t know which would be worse, if Karla and I both had it at the same time or if we had it separately.

                            We also got that. Very handy to have after the kids and a crumbly meal. Reminded me of the dustbuster my family had growing up.

                              I recently got a Dyson. Expensive but works like a charm.

                                Agree that a Dyson works very well, though I often wish the trigger is less sensitive.
