My parents got me a double crockpot, scentsy candle, photo coasters, and ornament, a new wine opener (mine broke!), and some awesome mixing bowls.
Overall I got mega spoiled this year!

Re: What did you get?
"From DH" I got some Mary Kay products, slippers, duvet, duvet cover, Xmas movies, new OPI nail polish, a knitting book, yarn and PJ's. That is in quotes because his personal shopper (me) picked it all out!
From the parents, we got $$, a kindle with cover, pumpkin butter, an ornament and workout clothes.
The thing I'm most excited about is a ring I bought with money I got for graduation (MBA). It is an amethyst (ECU color and my birthstone) surrounded by diamonds. It is being custom made so hopefully I'll get it in a few weeks!
DH gave me new TOMS, 2 cardigans, a robe from Victoria's Secret, 3 books, lots of fuzzy socks, a new willow tree and an itunes giftcard.
The IL's gave me some clothes, a pair of shoes, books and money. His grandparents gave me another cardigan I wanted, some candles, The Pioneer Woman's cookbook and money.
My Mom gave me a new North Face jacket and a Stella Fossil watch.
DH got me a new Kodak camera, a Juicy Couture gift set, BB&W goodies and a thingie to plug my iTouch in the car.
DH bought me: a necklace that's been on my list for two years
, an immersion blender, a toaster oven (asking for that for longer than we've been married!), soup recipe book, and glass apothecary jars for the bathroom.
MIL/FIL gave us a FlipHD for the LO
Stepmom/grandparents: a dutch oven, cookbook for said dutch oven, The Girl Who Played With Fire, some clothes that should grow with me for a while, and a lot of small things.
Mom gave us Christmas decorations (this was our first year in a house where we had space for it).
Overall, it was a really great Christmas
DH got me some running shoes, which I am very excited about. We've been kind of spoiling ourselves over the last couple months so we agreed to not really do much for Christmas.
My parents went to China over the summer so they gave us a set of nice (pretty) chopsticks, a fan, a silk comforter w/ a gorgeous silk duvet cover, and a few other little things.
DH's family went crazy on Christmas this year. My IL's gave me a kindle w/ cover and an amazon GC for me to use with it. We had asked for a down alternative comfortor and they bought us one, but since my parents also got us one and it's non-returnable, the one from my IL's will have to go back which I feel bad about. They also gave me an ornament and some socks. BIL & family gave us Omaha steaks, which we are very excited to try. DH's aunt gave me a CHI flat iron, his grandmother (I think it was actually MIL though) gave me a purse, restaurant giftcard, and a watch.
I'll admit--being an only child, I definitely get spoiled during Christmas. Also, since I'm the daughter-in-law on this coast, even my ILs tend to spoil me some too.
From Dh: SodaStream with sample pack and extra flavors (Cola and Root Beer). I've wanted this for over a year now--I'm so excited!! He also gave me some running socks and other (small) work out gear.
From Parents: New coat and scarf, new sweater vest, blouse that I was lusting after, some new gloves, and a few other things.
From ILs: P90X, renewed subscription to Martha Stewart Living, a little orange dutch oven, some Rachael Ray kitchen utensils, Fresh market GC, and a pretty cat cream and sugar dispensers.
It was a very good Christmas!
