Best birthday present you ever got?

kmick · 28-06-2004 04:13PM #1

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!

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?

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.

My best pressie so far was my storm watch, and my pink stillettos...not for everyone tho...;)

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...

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 · 29-06-2004 11:15AM

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

kmick · 29-06-2004 11:27AM

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 · 29-06-2004 12:05PM

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 · 29-06-2004 02:04PM

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 · 29-06-2004 03:56PM

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 · 29-06-2004 09:37PM

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!

JBoyle4eva · 30-06-2004 01:08AM

The bets present I got was my Playstation2, and my birthday was the week it first came out. My parents spent a fourutne back then to get one, but worth every penny

Agent Smith · 30-06-2004 01:22AM

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 · 30-06-2004 10:14AM

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

kmick · 30-06-2004 11:35AM

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.

ChipZilla · 30-06-2004 03:07PM
