Best birthday present you ever got?

kmick

My girlfriend wants to buy me a present for my birthday around the €100-150 mark. Neither she nor I have any idea what to get as we are both spoiled brats. Suggest a present in any price bracket up to €150 that you have recieved in the past which was really cool. Then I can suggest she buy it for me and I will also get ideas for her next birthday. So what was the best birthday present you ever got?

1st US Pressing of Elvis Presley's debut album from 1956... Probably wouldn't appeal to non-Elvis fans though!

Kevin.

Tusky

one of the best was a surround sound system....another was my frist computer. On a smaller scale I got a REALLY nice t-shirt or a concert ticket, Why not get him a 2 day oxegen ticket?

Raz

Mf girlfriend got me a half-hour helicopter lesson for my 21st. One of the best things I've ever done. Not sure of the price though, maybe outta the range.

One of my mates was bought a parachute jump for his birthday recently which I thought was a pretty damn cool present.

Oriel

The Piano/Vocal/Guitar music book to Meat Loaf's "Bat Out Of Hell 2" (...I was 13).

Though I'd have to say my pet dog (of 12 years) must come first...

S.

rainbow kirby

Got Zelda: A Link To The Past just there 4 days ago for my birthday...

followed by Super Metroid a couple of years later

catsup

my little pony stables with two my little ponies included!!

i was 8, and it was the best birthday ever.

KdjaCL

Zelda OOT / MP3.CD player (was getting on a plane to US handy fukkin present at the time dunno where it is now).Pair of original Adidas Streetball runners they were so cool.

Unpossible

a new winter wetsuit with titanium, tis brillant, unfortunatly I think ive been conned as its now in Ireland and im in finland (My dad bought it for me and has his beady eyes on it, suppose thats what I get for stealing his wet shoes & gloves hehe, my he went blue that day), Im planning to get it shipped over. Stop babling...yes sir sorry sir.


Anyways; you can pick up a decent winter suit for around €100-€150, or a surfboard for the same second hand/a little more expensive for a new one

Mossy Monk

i remember when i got a bike when i was about 3. that was a cool present for a 3 year old

kmick

Thanks nothing suitable there apart from maybe the my little pony and stables which would be delighful. I could also get some hair curlers.

Trix

i got goldfish when i was thirteen. but then one of them commited suicide.was a sad day. an aquariam(?) would be cool.

How about a donation to charity in your name?

well today is my birthday so I havnt gotten all of my presents yet, but I imagine when ur my age presents are not such a big deal, having said that...
last year on my 26th birthday my present was a day and night at a lovely hotel with my boyfriend which seemed more like an apartment and we stayed up most of the night...ahem...playing games
That was probably the most fun thing I have ever done on my birthday...but since I am single again there wont be a repeat of that for awhile I imagine

as far as the best present I couldnt say, one of the coolest though was a gift from my boss 9 years ago...a baseball mit from the 1930's which is an antique...very cool. Still one of my most favorite things...I had it signed by a retired baseball player from the same era and he was impressed by it as well

Tusky

im getting this for my birthday in about 3 weeks - cant wait http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0001BRITE/103-4372915-0536621?v=glance&s=electronics&me=ATVPDKIKX0DER&vi=pictures&img=14#more-pictures

My X Girfriend never gave head and for my 25th I think ..... I got some I was Chuffed and also for xmas that year 2 im very easily pleased

Loobz

For my 21st my girlfriend bought me this.

Its one of the best things I have ever received as a present. Plus, the guy in the shop made a mistake of undercharging us to the tune of 100 yo yos.

I swear, anyone thinkin of getting 5.1 speakers just save up and get these. Well worth it. Loads of connectivity options.

CareBear

Wel gotta say the best pressie I ever got was money cause then I could buy when ever I wanted and savely aviod all that cream **** girls usually get! Hate that stuff, it not a real present!

Must say though you guys have it handy buyin for us but what are we meant to buy you. Ye's are just too darn unhelpful!

Agent Smith

Really? You either know weird guys or you've never visited www.boystoys.co.uk

Women are WAY harder to buy for! With guys it's just a matter of buying the coolest gadget you can on whatever budget you're working on and you're done.

tman

boards subscriber pack tbh; the gift that keeps giving:)

kmick

That charity thing sounds good although we are both signed up to Sightsavers, Concern and some other crowd (yeah we're suckers alright) so wont be getting that. I told my girlfriend last christmas I was getting her a Pig (Concern Christmas Gifts) she was very unimpressed. Have not seen anything I fancied so far... Keep em coming.

Best prezzie I ever got was...
a blow job, a case of Heniken and 1/2oz of grass.
God I loved that girl.

Sarky

A hand made dice bag with the symbol for Chaos Undivided embroidered on it. Along with a replacement Powerslave CD for the one I lost the week before.

Cheers, Fozzle!

Kalina

My then boyfriend bought me a Playstation 2 for my 21st birthday a couple of years back. It was the best present ever, it's still my prized possession!! :cool:

ixoy

Do something cheesy from the romance movies and name a star after him (at a site like this). As the star costs $54, you could name three stars perhaps, for his forename, middle name, and surname...

Lucy Lu

For my 18th Birthday my boyfriend gave me tickets to Paris for 5 nights (Ryanair do v cheap flights!) It was the best Birthday present i ever got.

We are 7 years married today!!

Best birthday pressie I ever got (from my woman) was a suprise weekend away to london (didnt know where I was going till the last minute). Stayed in a fancy hotel and went to see the Lord of the Rings exhibition (I'm a bit of an Uber-fan). Was a total suprise - especially seeing she's not mad on the whole lord of the rings thing at all.

It was class - had all the costumes, concept art, weapons, minatures - tonnes of stuff - I was in pig heaven for the whole weekend. Amazing. (wouldnt appeal to everyone obviously).

Other ideas would be - weekend to amsterdam/paris/some hotel room - you'd get good rates on the flights/rooms on the internet maybe - a weekend of mad monkey sex could be nice.

Or - a fishtank, swingball, a big sword, a flying lesson, a tank lesson, a rally car lesson, a surround sound system, an apple tree, a hamster, a watch, a suit, runners, a day out at the races, a witness (oxegen) ticket - come on - throw me a freakin bone here.

Good luck anyway - and happy birthday.

Pants.

Did wonders for my social standing.

kmick

Some pants- did wonders for your social standing eh? Or a big sword? I like the idea of a flight somewhere mind you.
