Which board game should I get for Christmas?

Out of Dominion (or Dominion Intrigue), Ticket to Ride, or Stone Age.
Anyone familiar with these and have any suggestions?
A litte background: I have just recently gotten into Euro style games. Only two I currently have are Carcassone (which I love) and Lost Cities (which I like alright)
The majority of the time I play it is only with two players also.

You didn't list this one, but Settlers of Catan is easily my favorite board game.

Dominion is awesome but there are lots of expansions that you will also want. I think there's a box you can get with the base game and the first two expansions to get you started though.

I have all of those, I run an after school board game club at the school I teach at. Ticket to Ride is enjoyable and very very easy to play, but it gets old rather quickly. Dominion and Dominion Intrigue are amazing games that kids and adults would enjoy, you will get more replay value out of them. I prefer Intrigue over the original as it involves more interaction between the players. Settlers of Catan is a great game as well.

You'll be fine starting off with Intrigue, if you like it and have played through all the cards a good bit pick up the base game or the prosperity and seaside expansions.
There are two player variants out there for Catan but with no trading it's not as fun.
I think Agricola is actually a mich better game than Catan with more strategy and less luck. And you can play two player.
If you get Catan I think the Seafarers expansion is a must.
