I have no idea what DH bought me, except that he sat me down last night and said "I have to confess something. I blew the gift shopping budget" (we had agreed to $50-75 each).
ILs will renew my AAA membership, probably give me a Starbucks/DD gift card, and some other random things. Like towels.
My parents don't buy me gifts. My ExMIL always buys me a cute accessory/piece of jewelry. My exGMIL usually gets me a gift card to go clothes shopping.

My mom got me a nice leather laptop bag. I wanted a nicer one and she gave it to me early because a strap on my old one competely broke right before a campus visit.
I'm pretty sure my H is getting me a long packable down jacket.
I was visiting my mom recently and she saw that my Converse sneakers have holes in them. (I know, I know.) She asked for my size ... so maybe she'll get me a new pair?
I've bought this pair about a week before I started college, so that's 13 years already. It was SUCH a pain in the ass to find them. Two girlfriends and I went to New York City and visited a bunch of shoe stores, and most of the clerks either laughed at me for wanting such outdated shoes, or didn't know what I was talking about. This was only a few months before it became really trendy to buy them in colors to match your outfits.
My DH uses our joint credit card to pay for things, and he knows I update our mint account several times a week, sooo... I have a pretty good idea.
He did buy me one thing off the list I sent him. And there's one other charge <$20 on the credit card that I can't identify, so maybe that's a gift? There is no indication that he bought the one thing I told him I really wanted because I will need to use it in January. I guess I will be placing my own amazon order on christmas night.
Per Amazon, my ILs got me a Kindle Paperwhite, the Too Faced Matte Eyes palette, some gray Converse, and an audiobook. They usually give all the women in the family Jo Malone perfume and whatever the newest Barefoot Contessa cookbook is as well. My mom got me a Clarisonic and some flats, a shirt, and a sweater I picked out (she will get me some little surprises, too). I bought myself a new bag from H, plus some Laura Mercier setting powder, a retractable kabuki brush, and some Junior Mints for my stocking. My dad always give us a check for Christmas.
I sent my H and email with links, so we'll see how that pans out. My sister and I are super up front with each other about what we want, so I know I'm getting makeup from her.
I am hoping my husband followed my request and got me nothing. Or at the very least, nothing that was expensive. He always buys me expensive items and I it's stuff that I'd rather just not have and money saved. I'm not a gift person though. I prefer quality time by far. I asked for him to be more into christmas for me and our kid this year. He was a tad bit less scrouge like this year. He even drove around and looked at Christmas lights last week with us. He only bitched slightly about putting up a Christmas tree.
My mom called me not too long ago and asked if I still wanted some curtains that I had pinned for the baby's room. So, I know I'll be getting those. Which will be great. Otherwise, I have no clue if I will get anything else or what it will be.

Well, I do now. In costco:
DH. How are you on oversized flower arrangements? What about 5 ft. Teddy Bears? tennis balls. Me: nah, but I could use some lacrosse balls. Dh: we're you awake when I was shopping for you last night? How did you know I got you those. Cue deer in the headlights Dh: oh. Never mind.
Same thing happened when we were by the socks. me: I need some new socks Dh: dammit. No. Check your stocking in Wednesday.
My mom uses my Amazon account and I am pretty sure the Superfeet and compression socks she bought were for me. I bought a couple things for my stocking (socks, running shoes). DH did buy me something on his own too, and I have no idea. He said he thinks he finally found something he thinks I would like. I don't know what he means by that, but maybe I didn't get something from Fredericks of Hollywood this year :/
