Wow, that is hard question. I would probably get a gift for my daughter for Christmas, but I might actually just find me a good book!
me, me, me, me!! I think I'd actually buy study books for the praxis :)
I would buy something for me like a new watch
aunteegem@yahoo.com

Oh Amazon, how I love thee, let me count the ways... I would probably buy something for the kids. Like my some super tiny cute boots for Ellie or this http://www.amazon.com/ActivePeople-BILIBO-005-Kid%252dO-Bilibo/dp/B000UEQHY4/ref=sr_1_69?ie=UTF8&s=toys-and-games&qid=1244942729&sr=1-69 It looks so fun...that is how we roll for fun!

The first year that the kids were old enough to notice what I was putting in the cart for Christmas shopping was the year I did all of my shopping through Amazon.com.
You're right, it rocks.
If I won the giftcard, I would spend it your birthday gift :)
Okay, maybe not, but it sounded good. I would spend it on something fun to bring to E.E. in Nov.
Happy Birthday, Angie!
Hubby & I have a very long "gotta get" book list! By the way, your blog header is totally cute - lovin' that dog.
There's a couple of books I have in my wish list on Amazon. One is the new Dan Brown book that is coming out next month and the other is Postcards from Across the Pond. I would love to get these.
I would either spend it on Parrot food. Amazon is one of the only places that still sells their favorite. Or books for me. I think I have 20 books on my wishlist right now.
Happy happy real birthday!!!!! Hope your day is amazing so far, and ushers in a fabulous year. :)
Hmmmm amazon is just so many options... I probably would buy a couple of DVDs actually, cuz I don't have cable so I try to have tv on DVD around so my boyfriend has a reason to hang out at my place. ;P
Oh oh! I'm hopefully jumping into grad school in the spring so I'll have books to buy... if I won the giftcard and was feeling disciplined, I would probably save it for that hehe
Happy Birthday! What would I spend it on? Movies. Lots and lots of movies. LOL

Happy Birthday to you! They have so many wonderful things and I'd love to put it towards this great fire pit for my husband http://www.amazon.com/CobraCo-FB6132-Copper-Finish-Screen/dp/B000EVICOG/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1250688702&sr=8-8
thank you!
Me, me, me, me!!!
Wait. That is not a valid comment right?
I think I have mentioned that there is over $300 in my cart. And if I had a gift card, I am sure I'd spend more than $25.
I'd help the economy along. And save the world.
I have a bunch of homeschool books I want to get. They are part of this series called: You Wouldn't want to be...
and there are titles like: a servant in Victorian England; Mary, Queen of Scots; part of the Spanish Armada; sick in the 16th century.
They are FABULOUS picture book...and hilarious. Even though they are picture books...they are still appropriate for my middle schooler...
Hmmmm...I am thinking I can turn the above comment into a blog post.
I have 10 of those books in my queue. (and about 20 on my shelf...but let's not go there...)
i would spend the g.c. on my daughters birthday... it is next month but i would spend it on a hannah montana doll set.

One of my favorite birthday gift ideas for children is the Leapfrog fridgephonics set. It is our gift of choice for my sons four year old friends and they all have loved it. They are a great deal for about 15 to 20 dollars. We are really into giving fun educational toys as gifts.
My favorite birthday memory is getting my barbie dream house as a child. I was so disappointed that I didn't get it on Christmas and so I was astonished when I opened it up on my birthday. I found out later my parents couldn't afford it during Christmas and used their tax refund money to buy it. I appreciate the gesture so much more now that I have kids of my own.
Yowza! 170 entries!
I would spend it on books or makeup or shoes or books. Did I say books?
