How'd you all make out?

I had a standard Christmas with all of the stereotypical gifts:
Stocking 1 stick of Old Spice 1 bottle of Old Spice aftershave 1 bottle of apricot scrub 1 bottle of Irish Spring Bodywash 1 pack of 6 Bic lighters
Gifts from Dad 1 pair of ACDC pajama bottoms 1 pair of Pepsi pajama bottoms 9 pairs of boxers 2 $100 gift cards to the local mall 1 wallet
Gifts from little brother 1 book: Double Tap 4 blinking party shot glasses 1 Old Navy sweatshirt
I bought my Dad a digital picture frame and scanned in a bunch of old family photos. I got my little brother a portable DVD player.
I love the gift cards, I can't wait to get to the mall. I doub't I'll ever read the book, I'm a picky reader. Christmas just ain't what it used to be. Oh well, I'm going to smoke a bowl of resin I just scraped since I'm out of weed.
What'd everybody get?

My girlfriend got me a $7 mouse to replace my partially broken one.
Also got about $700 in cash.
I spent about $130 buying Christmas eve dinner, a new router and half the price of a handbag for my girlfriend.
Overally, I did good.

By the way, why giftcards?
It just limits how they spend their money. Give cash!

Yeah I kind of wish I got straight cash instead of everything else I really need it more than anything. I also need new clothes though, I'm doing the gym thing and actually losing weight so I'm excited to finally get some new stuff.

To some cash can come off as thoughtless. I prefer receiving cash, but I prefer to give gift cards for the same reason. I want to limit spending. I got my sister's husband a $20 gift card a local record store so he could get a CD/vinyl/poster instead of pocketing it and spending it on like gas or some shit. Like I would get him a CD, but I don't know what he does and doesn't have, so I get as close as I can without getting him a duplicate.
On another note, you guys put me to shame. Besides the $35 Isotoners I got my dad I didn't spend more than $15 bucks on presents per person.

Yeah, but if you're not huge into all the products people buy for you, it's just as awesome just gathering the family and having some drinks and food and having a great time.
Anyway, so far I got a Family Guy calender, with cool art work of the characters from a bunch of different artists. Some are kind of abstract and really cool. Also a pack of stratch tickets. The actual gift opening happens in like 5 hours. I should sleep.
