I only got some small notions in my stocking, but I got the only book I truly wanted this year: The Entrepreneur's Guide to Sewn Product Manufacturing by Kathleen Fasanella. It's not really for historical costuming but will be helpful since I'm starting a costuming business.
On the other hand, my costume design sketches were a great success as gifts for the family - now to actually get them made!
