Did not receive any Apple gear or accessories myself this year. Did get a Nintendo 3DS, though
However, I did buy and give my mother a $50 iTunes card, as she likes to get games and books for that iPad 2 that I gave her for Easter this past spring. One of my nephews did receive an iPod speaker dock/clock radio for Christmas. In addition, with the Christmas money that he got, plus with his two-year contract being up, he was due for a new phone (his old one died). He became quite enamored with my iPhone 4 and ended up buying himself one just today (12/26). He got an 8 gig iPhone 4 through Verizon. The $99 was all he could and was willing to spend on a phone.
