I think you got a better haul than I did.  I got the following;

A Blue Moon winter sample pack and a New Glarus sample pack (about 40 beer bottles).
Jeans (to be fair that was on my wish list).
Iowa Hawkeyes shirt (to be fair that was also on my wish list).
Buffalo Wild Wings gift cards.  (I might just have to find a female friend to have dinner with me at BWW)
Best Buy gift card. - I used it towards the purchase of the Parrot mini-drone that was on my Xmas lists.
Groupon gift card.  (I ordered a cross pendant like this with that card). 
Peanuts.
Popcorn.
Beer socks and pizza socks.
Mints
Chicago Bears coffee mug (don't judge).
$$$

I was really hoping for a new office chair since I work from home now and the office chair I have isn't really cutting it now.

I am thinking of finding a tactful way to inform my relatives that gift cards are cool, but I would rather have Amazon gift cards instead of Groupon gift cards since there's more cool stuff one can get from Amazon.

I have almost 500 board games, mostly European style strategy games and Ameritrash games.  If you like Risk, you should check out FORTRESS AMERICA.  Three nations attack the United States.  One player controls the U.S. forces and the other players attack from the east, west, and south.

I got nothing.  Not a single member of my family or friends got me anything for Christmas.   

[VenomX73]

Don't feel bad Ash. I got all my coworkers tools for Christmas - about $20 each x 7

I got nothing from them, not even a card - at least I know now for next Christmas.

I'll keep that extra and buy my dog something nice.
