Buy a $150 vacuum from Best Buy and 4 Wii games... -or- Buy her a broom at Walgreens and head off to Best Buy for $350 worth of Wii games or whateva...
$350 on a regular vacuum? Now that's just crazy. I only spend a lot of money on cool robot vacuums that will be my friend.
buy all the water that they have at best buy, the bottled water up front. alll 350 dollars worth. then go return it to walmart for their store credit. you can get anything at walmart.
I haven't used it personally, but this site looks interesting. I saw something about it on ABC news. http://swapagift.com/
How much are those Dyson vacuums? The ones with the pseudo-luxury car type commercial w/ the British dude talking about it. They make it seem like there's NASA technology in it. Pretty convincing commercial, I almost considered getting one. AND THEN I REMEMBERED IT WAS A DAMN VACUUM CLEANER.
Buy something from Best Buy that is also sold at Wal-Mart (like some DVD's, a video game system, etc). Then take the product back to Wal-Mart, unopened. Tell them you are returning Christmas presents and don't have a receipt. At least you can buy groceries and other stuff at Wal-Mart....just as good as cash.
