Right now with a puppy and two young kids at home the floors are constantly a wreck, she vacuums/sweeps/mops at least once a day.
And I want to see the dog react to the robot. That's got to be hilarious.

I put in a request for a sound dock for my IPod. This Sony one has wireless speakers, which definitely appeals. Sounded pretty good to me in the store.

Please post reviews of these as I'm thinking of doing the same thing... I was looking at prices, looks like $400+ for the one designed specifically for pets. And this after I spent $500 on a friggin' dyson when we got married.

I always end up getting myself whatever I want throughout the year, so at Xmas time, there's not too much to ask for that's at all realistic. Lowe's gift cards are always a safe bet. I'll probably treat myself to a weekend up at Camelback once we get some decent snow.
