This year was mainly focused on my kids since they're young, so my wife and I didn't really get much for each other. We bought a camera. I did get the Alien Anthology Blu-Ray set, though, which is one of the coolest boxed sets I've gotten yet.

This is easy, my best holiday gift this year (and ever) is my son. He's our first child, born November 8, 2012. Believe it or not, his due date was today (Christmas). We were able to bring him home on December 3. Nothing for me beats this gift.

nathaniz says:

We got the most amazing chocolate hazelnut cake ever baked from our very good friends. We're not much for the "material" things for gifts - food and such has been our holiday currency for years. This cake is indescribably delicious, and as much as I love Nutella, this was done from scratch and no Nutella was used. The cake was half-gone within half an hour, and won't last much longer. I did give myself a Nexus 7 - waiting for it to arrive.

SkinsFan1987 says:

dmedesha says:

I got a big thrill when my wife opened her new purple Moshi Concerti case. She setup her odd white tablet with that 40-pin connector that should have been a USB port and really liked the whole package, the right shade of purple and the functionality. Maybe next year we'll get her a good tablet.

Family together in several years. Brother in Navy in California seeing his Family (wife, son,and daughter) my wife from Europe and our 7month old son, my sister and her son, my other sister and her 2 daughters. 2 brothers of mine. And our Parents still alive and well. Its by far the best gift in my opinion. All I can think is how will it be when people are no longer with us as time goes on. A sad thought but reality.

Enjoy time with your family for one day they may not be there.

turp415 says:

i got a whole day with the family,which had me showing them how to work tablets, phones, etc. the reason this is so cool is because my family is scattered across the country. one of the very rare times we were all in the same place at the same time. it was amazing to see all my sisters and brothers.
