For my little bro, I think I'd buy him a tuner so he could watch TV on his laptop. He loves watching TV and since you need special software, cables, and connectors, I think it would be something he'd like but wouldn't buy for himself.
For my older bro, I actually got him something only available on computers for his birthday -- since he's on a tether and on house arrest, he could never go get movies or anything to entertain him at home, so I bought him Netflix for the next three months for his bday. It seems like he loves it.
I am unsure of what I would get my parents -- they're in their late 50's and don't really use the computer much. Maybe for my mom I would get some type of software that manages family trees and contact information -- also birthdays and such. She's kinda into that stuff. For my dad, I think I would get him something to manage his images from his digital camera. He doesn't know how to use any type of photo editing software, but I guess I could get him an entry-level one for him to try out. I don't think he'd have much interest in editing, since it seems like his favorite thing to do is read and not have much to do with the computer, but just software to manage the photos might be good.
Am I included in what I'd get for my family? . . . there's too much to post.
-jc!
