Pretty much the only thing I can imagine buying for myself at this point (at least, before sales start, ha) is fitness gear — and Amazon has some as part of their big markdowns. This gym tote from LeSportsac looks functional — huge but lightweight! — and while they have it in black at full price for $138, this fun but sedate blue number is just as nice at $83. (The other colors/patterns range in price from $51-$138.) I think you can still get it by Christmas if you really want it. LeSportsac Gym Tote

Re-Posting from main s I t e (forgot there was a moms’ one!)
My sister is having by #2 and my parents and I want to get her a double stroller. She says she would really like one, but has no idea which one (though a single that converts to double is best) and does not have time to look into but would really appreciate if we could find one for her. We are going to give it her as a combined Christmas/baby gift, so budget is pretty high.
If cost were not a factor, what would be your ideal double stroller?
Her older son will be 2.5 when his brother arrives and she lives in the suburbs. Not sure if these are a factor in stroller purchases but they may be.
