My five year old son got various legos (he made a neat little helicopter out of one.) multiple race car tracks, Transformer action figures (though he likes my FMP mini's better.) and a leapfrog learning station, along with the standard clothes gifts that all kids get... (or at least for my family.)
 
I got for Christmas:

* a pair of wool socks
* a wooden spoon and fork
* a bottle of champagne

I gave:

* coconut oil
* a Sony micro hifi mp3 stereo system
* an Imperial AT-AT Walker
* a Rebel Snowspeeder
* a 3D puzzle
* some candy
* a picture frame

Happy New Year! 🙂
