Down comforter from LL Bean and a bunch of restaurant gift cards from my wife's parents (they do that every year - they like to "take us out for dinner" even when they're not with us, super nice of them IMO), $100 gift card to the local chain of bike shops for me from my parents (probably going to become half of a shoes/pedals combo, been wanting to go clipless for a long time). The coolest thing, though, was the pair of new muskie lures my wife got me; funky 12" plastic one that looks like it'll probably "swim" through the water, and a twin-blade bucktail that just looks sweet - the blades are kind of stamped in a wavy pattern that should reflect light differently than any of the other lures I have. The only downside is that muskie season isn't usually open until June, so I'll have to stuff them in the tackle box and wait. She scolded me a bit for getting her the nicest arrow-fletching jig I could find (something she's been wanting to get for quite a while but hasn't due to the cost, IMO making it exactly the right kind of gift). That's right, my wife's into archery and she spent a bunch of time researching fishing stuff to buy me a cool gift - she's officially awesome.
Now we just have to write some thank you cards, and the holidays will be safely behind us.
