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.

Co-Workers: books, Dooney and Bourke Signature Zip Around
From mom: Oneida silverware set for 8, "Family of 3" good luck cat figurines, Silver Dollars from the year I was born, and a MacBook (I got that on Cyber Monday).
From the boy's 3 year old: Vera Bradley Katie in Yellowbird!
From the boy's parents: CASH. It's always appreciated.
From the boy: sweets in my stocking, Mamma Mia! on DVD, Jon & Kate Plus 8 Seasons 1-3 on DVD, a neck massager that doubles as a travel pillow, Across the Universe on DVD (it was our first movie), and a Gift Certificate for a Wii Fit (for his Wii that has still not arrived from the store) or tickets to see Mamma Mia next May. He was very creative this year. He created an interactive game show on DVD, complete with voices (think MXE) and music. If I answered the Multiple Choice Questions correctly, I got a present!
The best present was his 3 year old spending the night last night. I forgot just how exciting Christmas can be!
Mele Kalikimaka, everyone!
