Not much but that is as planned between the wife and me. We usually just save up for a big vacation every 18 months or so (I guess that's the gift...looking at northern italy next).
We did give ourselves the gift of peace and quiet by turning the closet under the stairs into a reading room/fort for the kids (6 and 4) as part of their present. So far they've spent nearly every waking moment in there playing house or zoo or school. They come out to eat and use the washroom. Somehow putting some shelves in, some decals on the wall and a beaded curtain doorway (a dragon picture) has created a magical environment where they don't fight.
