A GC from my LRS and 13.1 charm for my Pandora bracelet from DH, an air popper from DS (he insisted on getting it for my, my DH said), a hand mixer from my parents, and GCs to various places.
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.Â
Is it a hunting thing or a protection thing? Am genuinely curious, I'm not judging, promise.

I have so much to say about this, but I keep my political views off of the H&F board. They probably wouldn't be the majority's opinion on GBCN.
Stingyshark, OMG LOOK AT PAISLEY'S HAAAAAIR! AJ is very jealous. She's adorable, congratulations again
H&FR, I got-a GC to my fave LRS for new running shoes and a couple of Athleta GCs. NH&FR, I got pajamas x2, two infinity scarves, earrings, a target GC, and a top from ATL. Plus some stuff that I'm sure I'm forgetting because I'm tired.
GC to local store for hiking boots from DH; gc to local brewery from niece and nephew. Parents got us $, slippers, hat and my mom made me a new decorative pillow. DH got a knife carrying bag from my parents and loved it. We normally do gifts with our friends but we passed this year so we could save money to rent a house for a week as a group!

If it makes you feel better, BF is probably getting me a gun for Valentine's Day (so romantic, I know). I've had my eye on one, and I plan on getting my concealed permit too.
As far as Christmas goes, BF got me a Citizen watch, a new iPod Nano & armband, Chromecast. Family got me a cast iron skillet, cooking stuff, nail polish, and a lot of chocolate (stop it, people!).

Lol.. I know guns Make people immensely uncomfortable so I'll avoid talking about them to much, but what is he going to get you, or is that a surprise? We want to get our CWP, just have to find the time (and money).

Congrats!!!
LOL on the birth stone. My daughter was born on 12/2 (of last year), and I remember freaking out because I had this gut feeling she was going to come early (she wasn't due until the middle of the month) and I had bought all the grandmas a December birthstone necklace as Xmas gifts. I remember praying, "please stay in until December so I don't have to return these gifts!"
Enjoy your new little family! What a wonderful Christmas blessing!

Lol I'm in this club too. I have 2 pistols and H has several more, plus all the long guns. I've had my CHL for quite a while now although I don't utilize it much given that I spend most of my time in the hospital or on state property.
H and I (finally!) closed on our house on Wednesday and then took a long weekend trip to New Orleans to celebrate. So all of that should have been Christmas enough, but...
His parents gave us a check to buy ALL of our APPLIANCES. Which is mega, because we don't have a refrigerator, oven, dishwasher, microwave, range or w&d right now. Holy Santa.
My parents gave us a trip to Vegas + tickets to an improv show and Cirque and money to gamble. His brother gave us a garbage disposal (?), we got a ton of house stuff and gazillion dollars worth of giftcards.
H got me gift certificates to 3 restaurants all across the country - San Fran (Flour + Water), Chicago (the Girl & the Goat) and Atlanta (the Optimist).
'Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body. But rather, to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, screaming 'Woohoo! What a ride!' So every day is a holiday and every meal a feast."
Almost all my stuff was running or H&F related. I got LLL yoga pants and an ear warmer. I got some compression sleeves, new running shoes (Mizuno Wave Riders), running jacket, 2 running shirts, running shorts, and tons of gu and shot bloks. I am set for 2014.
DH got me a new night stand that I have had my eye on fooorrreeevvvveerrr, so I was excited for that My dad got me footie pajamas (complete with a butt flap with my name embroidered)...wtf? lol I also got some cookbooks, a really warm jacket, a cute scarf, and a really nice waffle iron.
Nothing H&F related either, but H got me a Lenovo Yoga ideapad My old laptop died a few years ago and I never bothered replacing it.
I would love to know what you think of it, my ancient Macbook is croaking and DH wants to get me this one.
So far I really like it. The setup of the apps and stuff takes a little getting used to and it won't have a ton of apps like you would get with a google or Apple based pad (ex, no Proboards app) but then it is more a computer vs a straight up pad. I like the option of having the keyboard and also the touch screen. I had been back and forth on whether I wanted a netbook or a pad. This is pretty much both. I know Best Buy has them in store so you can check them out in person. We had played around with the Yoga, the surface and a few others I can't remember the name of.

H&F: Raw Threads Boston charity shirt and sweat towels from my sis that she embroidered herself with cute sayings, Alabama Nike running shorts and matching Sweaty Band from my mom.
Non H&F: Gold necklace that DH picked out all by himself to put a pendant on that I bought in Greece this summer. New charm bracelet because my current one is full. Houndstooth duffel that my sister Lao embroidered, and an awesome wineglass from DH that is hand painted with glitter and sparkles and says wine queen.
We're going to IL's Saturday so there will be more, mostly cash that wll be put towards my 40th birthday trip to Paris. Of note: this is the first time since we got engaged that DH willingly bought me jewelry, so I'm pretty happy.

Nothing H&F related.. I got blinds and a window treatment for our sliding door, new snow boots, bath stuff, and money. Oh and Andrew (I.e. Mom and dad) got diapers! Actually my sister went against our no present rule this year and bought us all gag gifts from five below. I got a weighted jump rope which is H&F if I actually use it!
