Husband didn't get me anything this year -- not even the Hello Kitty necklace he said he was getting me. I bought my own gifts and wrapped them, too. I also wrapped all the gifts for him, and the gifts for our two sons. 
So I gave myself a new crock-pot and an ipod dock station. Yea me.
We are going up to Maine for a couple of days, so I expect to be able to do some serious shopping while there to make up for his massive gaffe.

We had talked about and got a Wii a few days ago. I didn't give hubby much to go on but he did get me the Brighton badge holder  cause i keep forgetting mine and I'm not supposed to be in the building without it.  Also a book on the comic strip "Mutts". B&N gift certificate
Last week I did my own "Christmas" shopping since things were on sale. Got me a Brighton bracelet to go with some earrings I already had (didn't know there was one until I got a mailer), plus a VERY COMFY comforter set cause Linens & Things is going out of business plus some small stuff for decorating the new house. 
I'm sweet, I got my hubby an unexpected 16gig ipod, a Backyard Astromer book, http://www.fuzziwigscandyfactory.com/tour.php# candy from when we were little (like Teaberry gum and bubble gum cigs and Necco wafers) and a wall clock made like a violin

- Grand Marnier chocolates and $50 Starbucks card from my girls
- Hand and footprint picture from my kindergärtner
That's it - when you are unemployed, it's easier to keep to the "no gifts except for the kids" rule.
eta - but thanks to some generous friends, my boys had bikes under the tree from Santa, and all my children seemed quite happy with the few, but choice, gifts they received. So I'm happy.

The gift giving was way random this year.
Sister/BIL/nephew: squirrel ornament, squirrel pin, yarn from Japan
BFF in Moscow: awesome socks and some lotion from BBW I may exchange
Boss: $20 gift card to the local food Co-op
coworker 1: bag of pecans from Alabama (everyone got this)
coworker 2: candles that smell like red hots (I gave them away because they gave me a headache, we all got stinky candles to set on fire)
parents: cash I think not sure yet
roommate: $1800 in rent I pay or get evicted, 10 hours of cleaning, utility bills, making up finals
not-boyfriend: telling me it isn't going to work because of X issues he never brought up, on a VOICEMAIL, and all issues are pretty much "change because I don't like you" and are reminiscent of my emotionally and verbally abusive ex. (This I a gift I would have preferred not to receive between my roommate getting drunk and breaking stuff, and then leaving the country).
I made a lot of gifts, which all had a sustainability twist. Knit shopping bags, knit towels and washcloths, knit coffee sleeves, and so on. I had a lot of yarn and no money thanks to my roommate's gift. I also ran out of time but with the weather it didn't matter as I didn't see anyone.

I've had a light Christmas so far. Tomorrow will be my big day (when I get gifts from my Dad and brother). My kids gave me a Janet Evanovich book and a gift set of Sensual Amber stuff from Bath & Body Works. My aunt gave me a scented oil/candle Christmas thing with nice smelling Christmasy scented oils. My Godmother sent me a Target gift certificate. My dad and my brother are generally the ones who are the big spenders though.

Ahahaha wow! My family does a gift exchange where you draw numbers to decide what order you pick a gift and then you can steal from people. That gift ended up being from my grandma! I almost stole the ShamWows from someone though...

My step-mom got me ugly ass PJs that don't fit right. I was joking with my sis cause they're the colors of another sorority. (Not like they don't have a cute color combo...they were just ugly PJs!)
