Anybody get anything cool for Christmas?

My sister got me Wind and Truth by Brandon Sanderson and her husband gave me $50, which I used to buy Skyward Sword on Switch. I got my sister a couple outfits for this goose statue she's really excited about (which I guess is a thing?) and I got her husband a Dave and Buster's gift card (he's so good at those games he can spend a few dollars and win enough tickets to get him and all his friends free food). I got my ten month old niece The Most Boring Book Ever by Brandon Sanderson ("Raise up your child in the way they should go and when they are older they shall not depart from it," and all that) a dancing flower that mimics whatever you say, and a crap ton of rubber ducks (she LOVES rubber ducks).

My parents got me a Fitbit and a quesadilla maker. I got my Disney obsessed mom two Thomas Kinkade Disney calendars and a shirt that says "Grandma Mouse." I got my dad a pair of really nice house shoes. I also gave my mom $10 and told her to use it to buy Balatro on her iPad. I expect her to be completely addicted to it before Saturday. And since Walmart messed up a curbside grocery order and gave me a socket wrench and box cutter for free, my dad got those too because why not?

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Weird at first glance, but still kind, instead of cool, but I got a pregnancy pillow. Not because I am pregnant, I am a cis man, nor because my partner is pregnant, I don’t have one. No it is because I have a Ladd band surgery next month.

Mostly gift cards and some food items. But I didn't have much money or opportunity to shop (never realized how limiting it is being unable to drive before - license temporarily suspended due to health scare back in August; should have it back before the end of February) and the biggest gift I got anyone was an Omaha Steaks package for my parents.

I got six cookbooks from a group that even my Dad enjoys the recipes from~

I can't wait to try them out!!!~

On a side note, I don't know where on Earth my uncle found it, but in the practical joke portion of my gift he gave me a jar of pickled jalapeño quail eggs...

I tried them in curiosity, and they actually weren't that bad-

Something that I can snack on when I am feeling the munchies~

My wife got art supplies, chocolates and other sweets, a charcuterie board, and jams. My daughter got toys, books, art supplies.

Me? I got stress, as our electricity went out this morning. Seriously. That's all I got. We have a battery back up which keeps us heated for about 12 hours, and Electricity did get restored, but it sucked in the interim. Especially on Christmas, when any stores needed are closed. Luckily, my neighbor had a workaround that got us powered again.

An old Ice Kirby Nendoroid that came all sticky because the plastic actually decayed, so we had to wash it overnight, and the first Fairy Tail RPG game that came years ago (I haven't watched Fairy Tail past the few first episodes).
