Over $100: Nikon 1 J1 Digital Camera

I have no earthly idea how someone likes you enough to spend this much money on you, yet manages to go wrong enough that you're actually returning the gift.

But since we're here, Target does have some good gear at the higher end, so you can pick up a pretty nice camera, like the mirrorless Nikon 1 J1. $600
