    What is the best gift you've ever received and why?

    I can still remember opening a Harry Potter play set when I was 12 and being delighted with it. :D

    Aer Lingus voucher - funded my first flights to the States, brilliant present. Not a Christmas present though now I think about it!

    Apparently when I was younger my mother went and got loads of Barbie stuff and everything I was into when I was a kid.

    That Christmas morning I ran into the sitting room and screamed "MAMMY!! Look what santy got me.. An Aladdin selection box!!!"

    Think she knew I'd be a fat little weapon after that so just gave up

    My first time was a Christmas gift. G/f and I were both 15 and she was babysitting Christmas Eve 198*. My gift to her was an eternity ring.

    Which her friend gave back to me the following summer saying (as she chewed her chewing gum):

    "Eh, ****** says it's off, here's your ring".

    That ring was inappropriately named :(

    A pair of Christian Louboutins! I nearly passed out. Had been jokingly asking for them for years and then got them one year.

    Jaysus, that was some Christmas. My mother got me a chariot and a new whip to use on slaves.

    A tomy big loader. That is still being sold 30 years later and I'm still impressed by it to this day. What a great toy...

    A toy tractor with pedals.

    It was class it was red and looked like a massy..

    We were the envy of all the kids on our estate in Mullingar they were just jealous of how many fake cows we had.
