What sort of condition is your current kitchen in? Unless it urgently needs replacing I'd get the girls the Macs. So many brownie points to be had there, and trust me on this, I'm a step-parent...

If/when we buy the house, we will need a completely new kitchen - my current one is much too large to fit in the new kitchen, plus we will need to change the sink round, plus a dish washer, plus a built-in cooker and new corner extractor fan, so we may as well throw in an integrated fridge/freezer unit, if there is space...

How about one of those little keyboards that clip to the top of the joypad? They are pretty good.
