My mum sent presents from Australia - a hand-knitted outfit (hat, jacket, pants) and a quilted jacket for Paloma, and a roll-up sewing 'basket' for me (she even embroidered my initials on the inside of the flap). I cried when I saw it because I knew how much effort she had put into it! (and how useful it will be!)
With one must assume was a large amount of help from Daddy, the girls got me a beautiful silver necklace inset with each of their birthstones. Major 'awwww' moment.
Gift certificate to a 5 star hotel in downtown Boston. In our 15 years together, DH and I have never stayed in a nice hotel. Even our honeymoon was on a budget (read Super 8). I can't wait to have a plush robe on, gourmet room service and Egyptian cotton linens. Something I never would have done for myself. That is my kind of gift!

DH and DS got me a Nook Color. MIL and FIL got me a Keurig. I love both. Unfortunately we were traveling for holidays and then I got back and have been so busy at work/home that I haven't gotten to use either one!
I'd have to go with what my nanny did for us-giftcard to restaurant and movies, along with a free night of babysitting. We often don't get out, so this is great. And my other favorite was from my kids' preschool teacher-ornaments with their school picture-it was supposed to be from kids, but I know they did not do the work!
