I got FOUR, count 'em FOUR awesome wood cutting boards in different sizes, some pyrex dishes, 8 new steak knives (for company, LOL) and 8 new white wine glasses (for entertaining).
I also got the Joy of Cooking (I acted like a little kid who found a bike under the tree).
From Live-in I got tickets to Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, a beautiful new watch, the Wii dance game, Season 2 of Dollhouse, new headphones (made by the same people who do Invisible Shield for phones/iPads, so he thinks I can't destroy them like I usually do), and a gift card to Amazon for my Kindle.
I got two sets of scarves/hats/gloves, which are great. I got a great pair of shoes, as well - from Live-in's mom - she had bought me Uggs but found out I hated them so went for a cute pair of booties instead. She's got great taste in shoes (minus the Uggs, LOL).
I did a smaller scale for Live-in this year - he got a movie he REALLY wanted (Scott Pilgrim) and a gift certificate to a ski shop so he can buy a new ski helmet (which he also really wanted but obviously I couldn't take him in with me and have him try it on).
For Live-in's dad I split the cost of a great watch with Live-in, and for Live-in's mom I got a gift card for accessories for something Live-in got her. For his brother I got some really awesome t-shirts and a tool box, and for his girlfriend I got Christmas decorations because she just moved out of her parents' house and doesn't have any of her own. We also got a bunch of housewarming type stuff for Live-in's brother and his girlfriend because they moved in together this month, so things like a crock-pot, kitchen utensils, etc.
I'm really excited for my dad to come out on New Year's. I got his fiancée these really awesome blue glass champagne glasses, and I got him an external hard drive (2 TB) and a Kindle.
