What was your best gift?

Recommended Posts

Some people exchange gifts on Christmas Eve so Im just gonna go ahead and ask now. As for me, we exchange them on Christmas Day but the best gift I bought for a loved one has to be what I bought for my dad. I got him a flat screen TV. Im hoping he will put it in the family room but he will probably put it in his room. I wouldn't have even been able to afford the thing if my friend hadn't given me a gift with $100 in it. As cool as a flat screen TV sounds, its not half as cool as what my brother got my grandfather thought. A Mercedes. Thats what you get what you build the damn things.

 

I finished my Christmas shopping at 4PM Christmas Eve at Best Buy.

Hey, I've got all those at work. Pretty intense looking. I was thinking of snagging a set for display in my room.

I got my mom a new TV, a DVD player and a few DVD's.

 

My best gift that I've gotten so far was all my shelving units. Gotta love shelves. Although, now I have to buy more stuff to put on them...

My girlfriend bought me cigarettes, 40s, and porn. That was impossible to top, and it turned out that my more proper gifts from family members didn't even come close.

Best gift was my laptop, which I ended up getting at the beginning of December because I needed a new computer. Best one I got today was a beautiful, $150 coffee maker that I've wanted for a while.

 

Best gift I gave was (all to the same person)...

- A carton of Camel Lights, straight from Europe for only $18 shipped http://www.yesmoke.ch :)

- A cute beanie hat thing, since she wears those all the time.

- Adorned around the hat were Deadsy pins, the girl's favorite band. More of a "Wow, you listen to what I say" kind of thing.

Gave: Simpsons Road Rage (GBA) to my nephew DJ. He's been playing it all day.

 

Received: Nothing actually stands out...a bunch of Simpsons things I don't care about (magnetic dartboard, huge Homer Pez dispenser, trivia game), few DVDs I expected, few CDs I expected...meh.

Geezus... What is your nephew's name? He goes by the same nickname, I've been called for my last 20 years.

 

As for giving: Just recently gave my father a spiffy (and expensive) mink (apparently, but I figure that's either a - company name, or b - fake) blanket. He was so happy about it, cause he loved it a lot.

 

As for myself, best thing I got was last year I received a Gandalf toy that was made as realistically as possible. Where the sword is made of metal (and apparently sharp), the clothing is made of real wool and the hair is made of hair (I think. It's like all out. I loved my sis getting that for me. It's put away now, so I do not wreck it (limited edition type of thing I guess).

I haven't actually recieved all of my gifts, as I won't see my parents until next Saturday. But what I got fom my aunt and cousins was nice. The best gift I got so far was a book on the history of Jazz, which I love already.

 

The best gift I gave was a poem that I wrote for my cousin Rachael. We've been through alot together, and I wrote from the heart about all we've been through. She cried when she read it, and after that, I didn't even need a "Thank you" or anything of the sort. Her tears said enough.

As has everybody else whose middle name begins with a J, and first name begins with a D. Or whose first name begins with a D, and is named after their father.

Best gift given: Toughie considering I bought some amazing stuff this year. Probably the Shite Miscellany Book for my cousin or the Queen DVD I also got my cousin.

Gave: I got my Japanophile dad a new sake set for his collection. It's black with a minimalist brushstroke design. It's one of those things that sounds kind of goofy but was very well picked out.

 

Received: Either the USB thumbdrive my parents got me or the DVD of the Sinise-Malkovich Of Mice And Men that my sister got me. It's my favorite adaptation of my favorite book.

Actually, I believe my middle name is derived from my great-grandfather to honor him or something. Not my dad, as he begins with A.

Well, I gave my sister some earring's, they were pretty cool/expensive . . . though she gave me a braclet; which was odd but cool nonetheless. I keep thinking of the Simpson's episode where Homer gives Marge a bowling ball though.
