    I got a Commodore 64 in 1985. I know that’s not going to help anyone this year, but I can’t think of a gift any other year that had me more excited. My kids are getting a switch and I hope they’re as excited as I was.

    Best I’ve given would be a Chromecast - it was $30 and my sister uses it daily, years later. I can’t think of a better return on dollar spent gift for usefulness.

      I wholeheartedly hope your kids will appreciate the Switch, but c’mon, a Commodore 64 in 1985 is very hard to top. I got a PSX in 1997, half of it paid by my own savings, and I don’t think I’m even close to you, Mr. Commodore 64.

      The PS4 I got half of for my youngest (we split the cost because otherwise their gift would have been too expensive compared to the rest of the kids) has gotten so much use, so much love. Sure your kids will love the Switch.
