I absolutely love LEGOs. I grew up playing with those things. I'm pretty sure that if someone bought me some for Christmas, I'd probably quit my job and build stuff all day, every day!

1st season of Castle ((I think that is more for hubby because it was ME that was watching Season 1 as it was happening ) This is the only show he routinely watches.
a ring - (it does look almost just like the inexpensive one I had about for like $6 but I know he paid much more). I have to take it to be resized..maybe they can't do it and I can get another color of stone....just sayin...)
chocoloate and bags of mixed trail nuts
a frying pan with a cover (cause none of the pans we have have tops that fit!) and the cutest 1-egg little pan (more excited about that, lol)
A martini shaker with some kind of chocolate/peppermint liquid stuff.
Hubby is excited because I got him a drawing pad for the pc (forget the name) and a book about the making of the Harry Potter movie. I also picked up a $7 book about different type of guns and a calendar of Japanese images. (loved that I bought all his gifts at 2 stores!)

Don't feel too behind, I got my first iPod last year!
As for me:
Nordstrom gift card.
Starbucks mugs and several packets of my fave hot chocolate from there.
Bath and Body Works gift sets.
New Coach tote.
I'm a simple girl. I also got Laker tickets last year so this year is kind of toned down.

A guy I went to high school with, who I have reconnected with on Facebook, builds lifesize stuff out of legos. Check it out http://www.stevecoallier.com/ and click on the Lego link.
http://www.stevecoallier.com/lego/images/Super2.jpg is his superman one.

My son liked Legos better but we got him a ton of Lincoln Logs when he was little too. I kept those when he out grew them in hopes of having them for my grandchildren some day. They are in a huge rubbermaid tote in the basement.

iPod Nano (wanted it so bad for running / lifting weights because my iPhone gets in the way)
J. Crew shirt
An absurd amount of cash
Nordstrom's Gift Certificate
Penzey's Spices Gift Certificate (there is one near us that I love), as well as some really high quality Tellicherry Black Pepper and a jerk seasoning from them
Lots of good cooking stuff (Mortar & Pestle, meat thermometer, pepper grinder, ironically two mini whisks...I love mini whisks for dressings/sauces)
Subscriptions to GQ and Men's Health
A book that says where all the names of the streets in our city come from (I work in real estate and I love local history, so this was my nerdy present success story of the year)
Then tons of little stocking stuffers
Great haul this year.

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.
