Well, I don't get my Christmas gifts in the traditional way, but for the Christmas Season I was allowed, by my wife, to obtain the following for myself:
2 sets of Ptolus, including players guide, CD, etc...
To win an eBay auction of 40 Dungeon magazines (to finally replace many I lost in our house fire back in 2003), starts at issue 8.
To get some OSR specific stuff, like the two compilations of Expeditious Retreats, containing a total of 20 adventures they had previously published individually. I also caught up on issues 11 and 12 of Fight On! magazine.
Tome of Adventure Design.
I was also able to buy an eclectic mix of sale items from Paizo. Such as NPC face cards, stuff by Jim Ward, and more. Total of 6 items.
GURPS Tech and Ultra Tech.
Hacklopedia of Beasts
My wife also got me a nice Silk/cashmere shirt with a Dragon on its left sleeve, so is a "gaming" item in my book.
Gaming items my kids got, so I will also get to enjoy down the road, is the L5R Great Clans book my 20 year old daughter wanted. For my 15 year old son, I got him the last Cthulhu Tech book he needed to have everything for that RPG.

I got the 2 Gamma World expansions and The Watchmen graphic novel from my parents.
In the past week I've also snapped up a number of games in the Steam Christmas sale. Having been out of the PC gaming world for 4+ years due to an old computer means that I've missed out on a heap of good games that I can now pick up for $5-$20. Elder Scrolls IV alone will keep me going for a fair while.
I plan on grabbing a couple of Paranoia books and Munchkin while the Paizo sale is on. Dominion is another game that has caught my eye.

I got a copy of Red November, a fun little board game. My girlfriend gave me a copy of the Smith and Robards 1880 catalog for Deadlands.

Only two gaming items this year - but good ones.
All my players, including the kids, chipped in to get me one of the hideously expensive dragons from Cool Mini or Not - I painted one that Jon and Julie gave each other for their anniversary, now I have my own, and suddenly I have no idea of how I want to do it up.
Eighteen names crammed into the From area of the tag.
I had been thinking blue, while painting J & J their dragon, now I am thinking green, largely because any time I actually use a dragon it tends to be either black or green. If my players are going to give me a $300 dragon, then I am darned well going to use it!
The other gaming item was Airship Pirates - I have known for months that I was getting it, since when I mentioned that I was thinking about ordering it I got a 'No! Don't!'
Oh, and a Mantic army bag, but that is for wargaming, though I will be toting RPG figs in it as well.

Well, nothing directly for gaming.
But I did get a re-up on my Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited subscription, which is awesome for research for supers. And, because my wife doesn't believe in giving gifts without at least a physical representation, I got the first issue of the new softcover Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, which is maybe even more stupendous for research...
I got a classic copy of the Adventures of Baron Munchausen, which will make for a stellar read. Better gaming inspiration is hard to come by.
And, a Nook Tablet. Not too many apps out there for it (apparently they've made side-loading apps a bit more difficult), but it seems to deal really well with pdf rulebooks...
