Help me.. xmas related!!

Ok this has to be the most stupid problem EVER but I am having such a hard time. My entire family is BEGGING me to tell them what I want for xmas and I seriously cant think of anything non-baby related other than giftcards.

I asked DH for a small digi cam for my diaper bag and everyday out and about use (I already have a canon rebel SLR). That was the extent of my list.

I will be 38 weeks pregnant on xmas and other than gfitcards for clothes once the baby is born I cant think of ANYTHING. My family members want to get me things to open, especially my mom, and I am going nuts!!!

Any ideas!!!???

A friend of mine is really into the Pandora bracelets ( the ones that you add beads to for occasions etc...) ...Maybe something like that , to symbolize the baby ???

I asked for a gift cert to Polished Spa for a facial! What about a Flip Video cam. They are pretty awesome and under $200. I think it will be so handy to always have in the diaper bag!
Check it out: The Flip

I have the Flip Video Cam- although IMO, its good if you are going to a small event or something and don't want to lug a camcorder, I dont feel that it is a good replacement for the real thing, especially capturing baby's firsts etc...I've had mine for about 2 years and have only downloaded the videos 3x ( all my other taping is on my CC) ...It depends on you though...I'm a picture/videoholic Chat Icon ...You'd be suprised how you'll ooohhh and ahhhhh over babys every little move and before you know it, you have lots of footage !

Re: Help me.. xmas related!!

Its still a gc, but I told DH to tell his parents to get us GC for a restaurant. We haven't really been able to go out because of $ and my bed rest, and once the babies are born I know we will really never get to go out.
This will give us motivation to have my parents come over and babysit for a couple of hours so we can get out just the two of us.

What about a camcorder? Or gift cards at best buy so you can buy one. We got that as our only gift from my parents so now we have it for when our baby arrrives.
