I haven't NOT gotten one for the last few years - I guess there is always a first time right? :D

So i've been planning on what i'd pick up - the EA Sale Thanksgiving weekend kinda mucked up my plans for the one i got for my birthday. Gone! But we are enjoying the games.

I have to stop and think about buying for ME vs buying for the kids (they are getting iTunes cards - so they can buy some of their own stuff this go around). But looking thru my Wish List stuff i have mostly boring utilities on there. Not that i need more games - in that area, i need more TIME to play what i have!

So for me, the stuff on the top of the list is...

• Eurosmartz Print n Share (i think, the various versions confuse me)
• Mobicip (if the kids end up with a Touch to share)
• Audubon Field Guides - the jury is out on what one, they got rid of the discounted "buy them all at once" app. I don't want multiple apps taking up screen spots. Gee, this is really for the kids.

Right now, that is all i can put on there for me - except, i'm great at impulse buying, and i'm sure that when i read some of the stuff others are going to buy - i'll have a longer list! LOL!!

So, how will you spend, say, a $25 iTunes Gift Card this year?? Inquiring minds want to know! :cool:
 
What are they selling for? May have to pick one up. Would love a naviagation app.
 
after noticing that the western europe tomtom has been reduced 25% to £59.99, probably that.

(anyone know if you can have 2 authorised iphones on 1 itunes simultaneously use the tomtom app?)
 
Glad all you "guys" won't be getting lost any longer!!! ;)

So no one else is thinking they will get cards? Or thinking what htey might want?

Gee, I need ideas people!!!! :p
 
I usually go through the games, productivity, and finance sections of the app store daily for anything new I might find useful. I can't think of or find any app in productivity app that I might need.

In finance, I'm eyeballing the soon to be released iReconcile, and in games, Ice Age, Call of Duty, Song Summoner, and Finger Physics.
 
Lots of Nav stuff happening it seems - which is good, less lost people! :D

I have only bought FastFinga - i didn't know i needed it until someone posted about it...

And I can't decide which version of the print stuff i need, so i haven't bought any yet.... i thought i was going to have to buy The Littlest Pet Shop - but the middle child wants to spend part of her GC on that!!
 
I got $40 for christmas, and dunno how to use it either :p
I think the best way to spend it is on stuff in productivity, reference and utilities, because they will actually be things you can get for day to day use, rather than games that you get bored of in three days. One app I like is Consume by bjango, which basically give you your internet and mobile phone usage. Very handy :p
 
I had a $50 and a $15 and so far I bought TomTom U.S.A. ($49.99) and Ocean Eyes by Owl City($7.99) leaving me with $7.02. idk what else i'm gonna get, probably some in app purchases on some games and I was thinking about Of June by Owl City($5.99) but idk yet.
 
HandsUp & Gunman. One just for fun one for action. The rest I'm still thinking about...
 
I didn't get any iTunes gift cards for Christmas, but those who did should check out the New Year's App Blowout (http://newyearappblowout.com/) Some cool apps will be on sale (some free also!)

My game AquaWars will also be free in a few hours.
