if you will do this again next year than I recommend this site: <a href="http://www.gog.com/" target="_blank">http://www.gog.com/</a> (games cost 5.99 or 9.99, no more, no less, so setting a price range wouldn't be problematic)

It's a pretty awesome place. They've got a sale on Fallout, Descent, Freespace, and other stuff going on right now. Great time to buy gifts. It's all DRM free and works on modern computers and everything.

That's the plan, although most of the games right now were pretty simple fixes for them. They intend to go through that work for every game, though, to make it real easy for everyone. Cool stuff.

Next year we could make it buy some one a digital download of a video game so gog would work.

Oh man. One of the best games evar in terms of writing. Some weird platforming issues in the later levels, but sublime game nonetheless.
You can either opt to send the gift straight to a steam account, this means you must have that person on your friends list, or you can send the gift in an email in the form of an activation link that prompts the clicker to enter their steam information to add the game to their list.

*mad huggles for Tekdude* It was an early Christmas morning feeling to wake up to seeing that!
The Steam buying system is bugging out on me. Package will be coming soon.

Although I thought Steam would alert me to the gifts somehow.

Then, with the saved $$$, you can gift a little something extra!!!
