Re: What Gifts did you get!
I got the Fly of the Month (I fly-fish, so this was a great gift), and a new Snow Peak Giga Power stove (for backpacking) from my FIL. From my OH I got a new lightweight sleeping bag and a Calvin Klein peacoat. From the BIL was a gift certificate to REI (my favorite store) and one to Barnes and Noble.
Others included subscriptions to the local paper and various magazines, along with other items of clothes and a good pair of Orvis slippers and smartwool socks

Re: What Gifts did you get!
I got an official Red Ryder lever action carbine BB gun, Greg Bear's new novel "Mariposa" and Harry Turtledove's new Atlantis one, the new Tom Waits live album - Glitter and Doom and, technically, you could count my Ruger LCP as a Christmas present, even though I got it a few days early.
SWMBO got a little .22 Derringer (and her very own box of ammo), an electric foot massager, a pedicure set, the new Rammstein album and the new Jack McDevitt novel.
The Kitten got lots of kitten toys, including a mousey that squeaks when she touches it and will be having red salmon for her Christmas lunch.

Re: What Gifts did you get!
I'm over the moon with my new Shark Steam Mop!!! I also got some much needed slippers. Best of all, I am truly blessed that all my family is within traveling distance (unlike my DH), and that all are happy and relatively healthy. Of course, more and more, it's looking like we'll be back in the UK for next Christmas.

I also got a rather nifty woolen overcoat from my lovely wife (the new proud Shark owner above). And Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without a selection box, which I got from my brother.
BTW, do they still do those oversized tubes of Smarties and Fruit Pastilles at Christmas time?

Me: Kindle (got it early though), books, Este Lauder smellies/makeup galore, necklace/earrings, auto change counter for car that looks like a travel coffee cup, slippers, and a large selection of sour candy.
Hubs: Bose Sounddock system for iPod/iPhone, "Ever Decreasing Circles" complete series DVD, England shirt, ref equipment, CDs, books, slippers, diary, and a Leatherman. (almost forgot...some Turkish Delight)
And we have't seen the parents yet. We celebrate on New Year's with my mom/stepdad, dad/stepmom, and brothers/families (yes all together at my dad's!)
