My 12 year old wants an XBOX One. She's been using her 360 to play Minecraft, and I'm told there's new stuff that isn't available on the 360. So time to upgrade.

Update: we aren't doing this. A Disney trip is truly a "someday" thing for us and I admit, I've been having some "Keeping Up with the Joneses" thoughts on this as I watch other people I know who have a much bigger income than we do get to do these sorts of things. I usually don't get that way but upon reflection I've been having that this fall as we engage with some of our kids' friends' families. These people make insane money and show it. That said, I'm sure they have their bills and their money concerns, too, but either it's not so bad that it's causing great concern, they're using a ton of credit, or they're keeping a big secret on their situation.
Plus, our kids have the memory of a goldfish when it comes to expensive experiences intended to be treasured lifetime memories. Take them for an expensive day out to a concert or play, it's barely a memory. Give them a new set of books to read, and they love you for life. They're young, under 10, so there's that, too. There are cheaper ways to make our kids happy.

That said, Disneyland is way way too expensive for me to take my kids to at this point; We'd have to save up for a while, and do a whole trip (even though we could just drive there) I think, maybe in a few years. This year, we did legoland annual passes, and while it's way further away we spent every birthday there so we got our money's worth, and it basically cost what one Disneyland pass would. I was thinking like introducing them to Harry Potter again and doing Universal this year.
Anyway, for black friday I want a second Nintendo Switch, because my first one was basically taken over by the kids.

Settle down there Dumbledore.
For me the Godzilla set from Criterion is the only one I'm really jonesing for. I might check Amazon during November for some of the oddball stuff in my wishlist that isn't current stuff.

I'm hoping for a decent but cheap dashcam and maybe some other type of security cam for the house and one for underwater, sports, bike type cameras. I've got most of the other tech I want so that will be the main thing I'm looking for.
