What I'm splurging on

3 of 7

Electronics

Colby Jones, 24, lives in Secaucus, N.J.

Cost: $2,000

Colby Jones: We had a very grim Christmas last year, so we decided to go all out this year. I asked my husband for an SLR camera, and I bought him a Wii and a new television. We're also splurging on our family because last year we had to return their gifts after I got laid off from a job just three weeks before Christmas. We're buying iPods, Kindles and other electronics for them.
