Greensboro, NC-- This year more than most, we're on a budget. Christmas shoppers need to know what to splurge on and how to get the steals.

Dale Parker from Staples brought deals under $50 and splurges over $50.

Save cash by getting the little boys (and big ones too!) a remote control helicopter (retails for &29.99) or a Omnitech Mini Speaker Pod ($9.99) which is compatible with iPods, Sony PSPs, MP3 players and more. Great for traveling, this mini pod fits in the palm of a hand and can be recharged using a USB connection or power adapter.

How about the splurges? The Canon FS200 Camcorder ($329.99) and the Canon DC 410 Camcorder ($299.99). Small, light and user-friendly, these camcorders feature a 2.7 inch LCD screen and Canon 41x Advanced Zoom. DIGIC DV II Image processor ensures the best image quality for both video and stills.
