I tend to do the same for them, because I have no children or husband to blow my hard earned cash on!

Same here! After Thanksgiving my father twisted my arm into accepting a 46" Sony LED television (actually, it was more about who could whip out the credit card quicker at the checkout line; the old codger beat me to it!). And then at Christmas it was a check for $700. I wasn't always an only child... but now that I am, I suppose they will not stop at anything less than spoiling me rotten.
I bought my parents an iPad for Christmas. Imagine trying to train a couple of people in their 70s (who barely speak or read English) how to watch videos on YouTube and buy apps at the App Store! But soon enough my father was surfing the internet and my mother was playing Angry Birds and Mahjong. I'd never used the iPad before and I was rather skeptical about it since it appeared to be nothing but an oversized iPhone. But OMG, it's fantastic! I'm getting one of my own once Apple has sorted out their phobia of Flash/Java and they've implemented multi-tasking and a file system. Or is that too PC-like for Mr. Jobs?
