Yes, I think so, first because we cut back on the number of gifts, which made things easier, and a lot of what I got was cooking-related:
Two new ove-gloves
Cookbook from pizza whisperer Anthony Falco
Cooking torch
Danish dough whisk
Non-cooking gifts were a beer trivia game, an RFID wallet, and a book by David Sedaris (I'm in love with his sister Amy, BTW)

My santoku and nikiri knives arrive today. I'm waiting for Santa to deliver.
What is that?
I didn't get any 'tools' but I did get some rather lovely gold dishes and a matching gold plate from my son and some ingredients from daughter: Aleppo pepper, dried limes and rose harissa. All good! These are the bowls:
It's just a specialized heavy-duty hand whisk for bread doughs:

No toys this year. Just some Hot Sauce from the Hot Ones channel. Mild, pretty hot, and the Last Dab XXX -- uses Pepper X, hotter than the Carolina reaper. 
All of their hot sauces have a reputation for good flavors, but Los Calientes (the middle one) is supposed to have a wonderful flavor.

No gadgets for me; I don´t think I really need any, to be honest, but if I come across some ravioli presses, or something similar, I may just give myself a gift for "Dia de los Reyes" (Epiphany), which is when the 3 kings arrive (you know: Lion King, King Crab and Burger King).
What I did get was these wonderful tomes. Gonna take me about 5 years to get through the recipes - wonderful!

Now I can make little tarts or little sweet potato pies, or even little baby quishes!!!

Ordered this small 1-oz ladle for putting fillings into the little pie shells in the small pie maker.

Hubby bought me a KitchenAid stand mixer as an early Christmas present, then I ordered the pastry paddle and metal food grinder attachments.
I bought myself a torch, stick blender, and mini food processor to replace my old one.

This year my two main cooking-related gifts were a cast iron tortilla press - which I've already tried out on some soft corn tacos...... its so much easier than using a rolling pin 
My tacos all came out perfectly round and a uniform thickness, next I need to try making flour tortillas. And a Cusinart rechargable salt and pepper mill - I've had my eye on this for a while now: I like the convenience of battery operated mills because you can use them one-handed, but they usually take 6 or 8 AAA batteries, and they don't last very long. This one sits on a charging stand so its always ready to go.
There were a couple of other things on my list - which I may just buy for myself at some point because I think they'd be very useful.
We also received an electric wine set as a joint gift - we'd seen these before Christmas and thought they were nice, but not something we'd usually buy. However its actually pretty good, and very easy to use.
