I bought myself a Nikon SB700 flash for my SLR to replace my old flash, which has been having problems. (Old flash will be given to a friend that is getting into photography but doesn't have money for a lot of gear.)
"DH" got me a gift card to my favorite local spa (I'll go for a facial), a print out of something that was backordered, and a gift card to Barnes and Noble. Oh, and leftover Halloween candy in my stocking. (No, no, I'm not kidding!)
I got a little $$ from my parents as well as a cheese serving set, and some photo frames.

My gifts this year were almost all running related. There was definitely a theme. The big thing is the Garmin 220. Yay, I can't wait to use it. My stocking has sports beans, body glide, running socks, and a couple other things.
So far I have gotten some clothes from my mom, a $100 REI gift card from my dad, an itunes card and some treats from my H. Still haven't opened gifts from my brother and sister, we are supposed to do a family skype later.
DH totally surprised me this year. Got me the LLL Speed shorts in the polka dot and LLL rain jacket for my spring training. Who is he and what has he done with my hubby!? The right size and everything! He also got me the Hal Higdon Marathon book that I did ask for.

Nothing H&F related. DH got me a new antenna for my car (mine got ripped off in a car wash), a gift card to get my car detailed and he has dinner reservations and a hotel room booked for Saturday night so we can have a night out without the kids!
DH got me new running shoes, so excited they are even pink. A gift card to ulta and Victoria secrets. He also gave me cash to buy a heart rate monitor since he didn't want to get the wrong one.
A tofu press, A new crockpot, since mine died overnight a few weeks ago, an Athleta gift card ( one just opened in our mall!! So impressed that dh noticed i get the catalog and lust over the stuff), balega socks, a new blinky light for running in the dark, a yoga strap, a shutterfly calendar for my desk, and lots of yummy chocolate and bath goodies in my stocking.
I also opened my awesome elf gift, but will try to post a photo in the elf thread above. My elf rocks!
What fun stuff!!! More Stingyshark baby pics please!!
I got a cycling jacket, booties, & toe covers, an IOU for another pair of tri shorts & aero helmet, a new pair of snowshoes, and a stocking full of nutrition, tubes & co2 for my bike, & running socks. My parents got me a lululemon gift cert, and I got some other fun goodies like fancy olive oil, a Himalayan sea salt brick, art.
DD will be 3 next week, so we had a super fun Santa experience and she is on fun-overload!
The girls got me stemless wine glasses (white and red), a silicone baking mat, and a necklace. Dd1 gave me some fancy lotion/body scrub combo (that her grandma bought ).

A Nike half-zip pullover and LRS gift card, a Pandora bead w/ DS's birthstone, Godiva chocolates, some Macy's and Target gift cards, and a few checks. I guess I'm hard to shop for so people left it up to me to do myself.
DH got me LLL Dog Runner pants, a Nathan light up arm band, yak trax, slippers, pajamas, itunes gc, philosophy perfume, my favorite Voluspa candle, Tory Burch flats and a Tiffany bracelet:) Mom knitted me a blanket in OSU colors and Dad got me a bunch of gift cards.
DH got me a ring that has two hearts with the december birth stone and says Paisley Rae on it (good thing she came in December ) a columbia fleece that i've been lusting over for months but would never buy bc I was giantly pregnant and some ammo for the gun he bought me for my bday (lol)

I think normal is kind of a subjective thing - Is it normal for my family? Yes. I live in Florida.... which has some pretty open gun laws, way more open than most people would like.
H&F: I got the last pair of Mizuno Inspire 9's in my size on the Internet Balega socks, RRS underwear (shut it, commando folks), and gloves The stick Non H&F: custom blinds and a kitchen renovation (the last of our house projects for a long time. hooray!)

My dh surprised me with a used elliptical and treadmill He got a great deal when someone was moving and didn't want to deal with selling/moving them. He also ordered one of the pictures from my first half and framed it with some mementos from our weekend trip for the race. My parents got me some UA lined compression tights and half zip pullover so I went for my warmest run yet this winter lol.

I bought myself a Garmin 220 with money I got from work for a health initiative, that was my Christmas present to myself.
My wife got me a new insulated lunchbox with lots of pockets and...an ice cream maker. I'm kind of scratching my head over the later, but I think it'll be fun when it gets warm again.
We'll be celebrating with her family this weekend so I'll have a few more gifts then, I have no idea what they've gotten me.
