From Eli I received a black textured coffee cup from Starbucks and from Addison I received Pioneer Woman's new cookbook.
Santa brought the family a kit for the Nintendo Switch that included a case and protective covers for the joycons and screen and some other items.
From DH: a 10lb weighted blanket, a hanging pot and pan rack, Kindle Oasis and case, wooden bath tray, silk pillowcase, Clinique Happy perfume, Galileo Glass necklace (very cool- DD got the galaxy and I got the crescent moon), candy in my stocking, a bath light that makes the tub glow, a Sephora makeup igloo....
My mom and stepdad sent a $100 gift card for B&N and there were lots of cool little things like cute pens, procrastinator mints, an ornament, body and face loofahs, a silicone circle thing (not sure what it's for so i'll have to ask her), a dish towel that says "First coffee and then the world", a Starbucks gift card and I don't remember what else. She always finds the coolest stuff.

We all did very well for Christmas here.
I got underpants and bras, stainless steel clothes pegs for the clothes line, cash for a visit to the day spa for facial, massage etc, supplies for DrillDance and new make up etc from DH along with a much needed new mop and bucket. 8 small bottles of my favourite soft drink from DS, some face cream and moisturiser, and 2 Christmas street signs from DD and BF.
Mum and DB got me a silver bracelet, a new winter nighty and bed sheet, a new travel toiletries bag, a few snowmen for my collection and a few candles.
DB got me a manicure voucher.
I got 2 Santa sacks one from here and one from Mum's filled with all sorts of things. Bath supplies, pens, treats, shampoo, sticky tape, planner stickers, all those little interesting things that you get in stockings.
I was very pleased with all I got and I think that all at my house were pleased too.

DH got me a kindle e-reader with case, wallet, Pioneer woman knives and cutting board set and her newest cookbook, a wall clock, earrings, robe, cds and a dvd. From the kids I got a couple necklaces, pj pants and a sweater.
DH & I are at that stage of life where we don't want much and I just buy what we need. DH gave me my yearly Swiss Colony petit fours, the Downton Abbey movie on Vudu, and the pants, sock loom, and a book that I bought for myself. Dgkids gave me a full-size sherpa blanket (omg, the softest blanket I have ever snuggled with) and a portable desk that I will use for handwork. Dd ordered a hoodie with a pouch/pocket so I can snuggle & carry my guinea pig, but it isn't here yet. Dsil gave me a set of snowman mugs and cocoa mixes to use on Rudy days - sweet of him since he rolls his eyes every Rudy day. Oldest dd gave me a Marie Kondo book, several Christmas novels, and a beautiful turquoise & silver necklace she made. My sister called last night and all the kids called today (1+ hours per call). I would say it was a pretty wonderful day.
Deb, it sounds like a lovely day at your house. I like the idea of the Christmas novels. That would be something that my mum would like. I might put that idea in the planner for next year.
Every one has received such nice gifts!
My son gave me a plush throw which I have to share with Myron, a Christmas ornament and a sign with Rick’s and my name on it.
My husband surprised me with a new lap top and all the stuff that goes with it. A couple of dresses ( he has good taste), Versace perfume, the pumpkin shaped luminara candles, travel iron and mat for when I go to sewing classes (and it’s pink!), a new planner, sewing caddy that clips on my sewing table, quilt backing fabric that has cats on it, and a weighted neck warmer that has lavender and flax seeds in it that you put in the microwave. He happen to see it and thought maybe it might be nice for my neck that always hurts. It is wonderful, I love it!
And my Myron gave me 2 hours of lap time.
Lots of excitement and I’m very happy with all my gifts.

I received Vermont hand dyed wool yarn to make myself something cool and hand made quilted pot holders from DD27. They are from her little store she works at up there. She gave maple candy to her brother and a summer sausage roll to her dad. DH gave me a Firestick. DS16 got me wonderful dark chocolate from our local place. I crocheted a beanie hat for DD with a heart applique 'I heart VT'. I found two funny shirts for DS ... one says "eat sleep game" with icons. The other shirt says, "I can't make everyone happy ... I'm not bacon" ... LOL DH got a ceramic sandwich cooker from Pampered Chef and DS got a microwave popcorn popper from Pampered Chef. Friends gave us fudge, candy, cookies, and gift cards. It was a nice holiday season.
Sounds like everybody had a nice Christmas.
I tell the kids not to get us anything but ...... I got perfumes, sleeping mask and cutting board, watch, and some money. Talking to Teigan last night I said I was going to put my mask on and go to bed and she g'ma you wanted one of them. Yes I did. Allen stays up and the light glares at times.
