Lots of dark chocolate and two beer tankards from my wife, a bottle of whiskey from my daughters, and a gift card for the local beer store from a niece.
The gift card will soon be transformed into German beer and Rochefort 10.

Here is a pic of representative items from the total horde. The beers came from the gift card. For anyone reading I will say that IMO the whiskey pictured is not good. My oldest daughter went to total wine to purchase one of my favorites, Crown Royal Reserve. She was told by the great people at total wine that this was better. It isn't.
I got a book on World Beers from my BIL/SIL, a book about Hops (Can't recall the name, but it's new. I think it's geared a little more towards NEIPA hopping, but it's a bit technical, and possibly not JUST about NEIPA's), and a bottle opener that shoots bottle caps like a pistol.
Also a selection of whiskey samplers, and a 6-pack of some darn good beers.
My four daughters gave me a gift card to Nueske's Applewood Smoked Meats in Wittenberg, WI. My order should arrive today: FOUR smoked thick-cut pork chops, 3 pounds of medium-sliced Applewood smoked bacon, and two pounds of landjaeger sausage! Yummy!
