I need some wisdom from you, friends! And hopefully you're willing to share some.
I can't decide what to get for my Christmas present from State Farm. This is really a dilemma because I want to get something useful that I need and, well, will use. I don't want to get something that will just sit and collect dust and get put on the garage sale in a few years, you know? I have plenty of that kind of thing.
What struggles I have, right?!
So I've narrowed it down to:
-Coleman queen size air mattress (is that silly to get when I have a guest bedroom with a bed? Or is an air mattress something that you really use and are great for slumber parties, which will start in a few years?)
-Casio label printer (to help with organizing, which I enjoy! It seems like it would be helpful with all of the STUFF kids have- though a Sharpie can do almost the same thing...)
-Royal paper shredder (ours is really close to not working anymore, so we will use that, but it seems pretty boring)
-West Bend food processor (sounds cool in theory; all the cooking shows seem to use them... do you use them? And would I?!)
What are your thoughts?

Ok . . .I already posted once . ..but for some reason it didn't work.
SO - I was saying I'd definately pick the mattress myself. I LOVE ours! It's gotten tons of uses - both at our house and at other's. And even as kids grow and fill up bedrooms, it's nice to have on hand for guests and yes, of course, sleepovers!
ALthough I can totally see you label happy with the label maker (we both know that would just collect dust at my house). : )
have fun deciding!
We have a guest bed plus 2 queen size air beds. We have used all of them at once! I think the air bed would be a good investment not only for guests at your house but sometime you might need to take it somewhere for yourself or your kids.
I think you would have a lot of fun with the label printer but like you said a sharpie would do the trick too.
I don't have a food processor but I think it would be nice to have! I think Aunt Eva has one and uses it a lot?
So, I'm really not much help. I guess my vote would be for the air bed or food processor.
Happy shopping!
I would go for the air mattress and then buy Andy a tent for Christmas and you can join the Beutel's for campouts. It is so much fun, especially for kids (even the ones over 6 feet tall).
I'd go for the air mattess too...we've used ours a lot. And if you DO start camping, it makes the whole experience MUCH more pleasant!
I think food processors are great but my motto is to go for the best (or at least really good) and then you don't have to get more than one...which means you should get the Cuisinart food processor someday....that's my dream at least. :)
I gotta say the mattress too. Ours broke now but it was a great thing to have! :)
Well, everyone seems to be on the same page. I'd say the air mattress too. And we HAVE to go camping someday soon. We love to camp. I agree- you'll get a lot of use out of it.
With the food processor, I've heard some people use them a ton but others never use them. I cook a ton and don't have one- someday!
State Farm gives Christmas gifts- who knew? Fun.
