Probably just some clothes. I mostly like to give out gifts could care less about what I get since if there's something I really want I just got get it myself.
 
Is this thread for those who have took a sneek peek at your gifts? Or is it just a "Look what I got!"-thread?

Since this is the first Christmas in a while when I've been working and thus had enough cash to buy things for other people, I've focussed more on being generous this year than my usual self. So I bought my dad a light up disco drinks coaster (he has a love of daft gadgets with lights) and loaned my brother the money to get dad the new Tron game on PS3 he wanted, I bought my brother a golf game he wanted for PSP and an Indiana Jones doll (he's alarmingly childish for a 37 year old) and I got my 7 year old nephew a Star Wars toy gun of some kind and LittleBig Planet for his PSP.

As for what I expect to recieve in return, I suspect my dad has rather pointlessly got me RUSE for PS3 after I commented on its decent use of Move controls, even though since we have a house full of children throughout Christmas and when that finishes he'll be sat playing Tron, getting me a PS3 game is entirely wasted money in the grand scheme of things. Unless he's got me a PS3 to go with it he's wasting his time. My brother has probably got me a DVD box set of either Indiana Jones or Back to the Future as I commented on seeking both of them at some point during a previous paycheck. I don't expect anything from anyone else in my family.

As for what my friends give and recieve this year, I got Kai a remote control plane, dunno what he got me. And what Amelia and I exchange during the holidays in none of your damn business. Everyone else is too busy with their own shit these days so I doubt I'll see much else. Still, it's largely irrelevant since everything I wanted or needed I bought with my wages anyway, including my rather nice new jacket which cost me more than a week's pay.

But all the same, merry christmas to all. Hope you all get whatever it is you feel you need to be happy. Personally I'd have had a merrier time if Team Cyclops had released the new firmware BEFORE I dropped 28 quid on Golden Sun, but such is life I suppose.

Added.

We don't celebrate Christmas at our house so I've never received any presents, but I did buy myself some games recently.

Half Life Antrology (Steam)
GTA II (Steam)
Devil May Cry 3 (PS2)
Red Dead Redemption (PS3)
Valkyria Chronicles (PS3)
 
Wont know until Saturday, but I honestly don't care anymore. I got my Xmas Present back in October, and whatever my gf gives me on Saturday.

I'm supposed to be getting a new computer with a 500gb Harddrive and a brand new motherboard, but I have to give them two six packs of beer, some vodka and a couple huge cans of Fosters for it, so it's not really a christmas gift.
 
I got a cold as a present. Celebrating with my clogged sinuses and sore throat!
 
So far...

-Socks
-Milka
-mp3 player/ipod/iphone/mobile phone speakers (i don't own any of those apart from a mobile so it was a bit pointless)
-Nice Trainers
-and best of all a HTC Wildfire on Payg!!

Still loads more presents for christmas day though!
 
So far I know I will be getting:
PS3 + move bundle
Metal Gear Solid 4.
Sonic's ultimate genesis collection
The Sly Collection
A few items on TF2
Money
HD TV
And I don't know what else I might be getting from my family.
 
On my final day of school before Christmas break, I was surprised to find that many of my friends had gotten me gifts, out of the blue. Of course, presents are meant to be given as a surprise, but I was especially caught off-guard by the fact that I had never received gifts from them in previous years.

In total, I received a Simpsons comic book, a DVD of one of those old Japanese Monster movies, a Yoshi doll ( I asked her if she had to play the Trendy Game to get it, she was not amused), and some awesome Mario-themed candy.

On one hand, I'm flattered by this sudden flood of gifts from all of my best buddies. On the other, I now feel obligated to return all their favors. So I'm going to go out and buy their gifts tonight, and drive down to their houses to deliver them. I know I'll probably be a nuisance, considering it's Christmas Eve, but I feel that unrequited gift-giving is totally lame. Curse you, moral values!

In the realm of what I'm expecting tomorrow, I know for sure that I'll be opening an iPod Touch 4, and an Adventure Time themed shirt. It's not that I snoop, rather, I ended up encountering both of their boxes while I was getting the mail. Despite these unintentional spoilers, I'm still quite stoked.
