My dh gave me a bathrobe from LL Bean and a sweater from LL Bean; the book Julie & Julia; a braclet he made (he's a jeweler); a new printer for the computer; a wireless mouse and a pound of dunkin donuts coffee.
And our "main" present to each other arrived in the form of our daughter on December 4th!

I gave an Inner Grace set to my mother-in-law last year!
I love Philosophy.... |

I'm a philosophy girl.  I already have some Pure grace body spray and lotion from last Christmas (I work hard to make them last), so I was pretty excited about it. I really like Amazing Grace, too, though. Dh doesn't like super strong scents, and he likes these. |

I actually think there is a forum for "philosophy girls"!!! They make such fun stuff.
My girls adore the lip shines. The coconut frosting one is absolutely addictive and it is not even a food product. It's also a pretty shimmery iridescent color. 
Yup, I've had Amazing Grace....but used it all up! I need some more GRACE!

Hilarious! My Dad sent me one for Christmas. I'd never even heard of such a thing. It is nice not to have to grind beans first and I love the water filter. I think the coffee actually is better out of this machine.

Well...my BIL and his wife were chosen as adoptive parents on the 23rd, so I got a niece!
I got myself the book "Happy Are You Poor" (appropriate, no?)
MIL got me a nice wooden bamboo cooking spoon along with some other stocking stuffers
DH picked out my new vacuum cleaner: a Dyson DC25 (on sale at Target) that makes me feel like I haven't cleaned my house in 3 years - it works great!
My mom got me a pair of nice winter boots and I got a pair of bird feeders at our family gift exchange.
Merry Christmas!

great thread idea!
My husband and I don't exchange gifts,we just buy for the kids. (I begged him not to buy me gifts about 12 years ago after he kept buying me gifts that I had no place to put or just would never use. I felt badly he was wasating $) But we did recieve one gift from his brother it is a big,counter top popcorn maker, the kind you make movie theater popcorn with. It is a hit! I don't like it stored on the counter so we keep it in the basement on a table. Add that to our existing pull down projector screen and it feels like we went to the movies. good deal for a family of 10
