Best gift someone ever gave you?

Just curious to know, whats the best gift you ever received? It can be something really small, or huge.

Mine was from my sister when I was 7 years old. She gave me $1.27 for Christmas. She saved her allowance (Of 25 cent a week), for 5 weeks, then put it in a card. To this day it still brings a tear to my eye.

Best gift...probably my first and so far only niece being born on my birthday.

Nothing else really tops that!

I grew up in the states. Been here for 11 years now. Not sure where she found the other 2 cents. Maybe from her piggy bank.

When I was 13 I got a metal pellet gun with an infra-red laser beam attached to it. It took care of the "cat problem".:cool:

My first guitar - a cheap strat replica, changed my entire life from that day

The Fast Trax, really quick RC car that I really wanted and cost more than anyone elses present, had a great 4 months before I broke it.

Thanks Santa!

One that sticks to mind was when a boy I kinda liked at school doodled a love heart and gave it to
me

Materialistic gifts suck donkey balls, the thoughtful stuff rawks!

People say the best gift you can give anyone is love.

Cheap ba$tards.

A blackboard shaped like an owl. Got it for Christmas when I was 6.

And it came with four, yes, FOUR different colour chalks and a duster shaped like a mouse!!

What do you mean by materialistic gifts surely how the gift is viewed by the reciever is subjective therefore a gift that you may believe to be materilistic might not be to someone else

i.e the first guitar I recieved may be considered expenive/unthoughful but to me was the greatest thing in the world and i haven't stopped playing since. I've been in bands, made great fiends through music, so all in all I see it as being the most holistic gift ever

Actually I thought of a non-bought one that was nice.

When I was in primary school in England, there was this wildlife cards album you got with some product like tea-bags or something and this girl in my class collected lots of the cards in the album, brought them in and gave them to me because she knew I liked wildlife.

Now thats what I'm talkin' bout

Could it have been Rice Krispies or something, sounds familiar!

Gameboy Color when I was about 7/8. My first bike is another good gift that comes to mind though.

Ok fair enough, well i was about 7 my granny knew i wasn't into sport or anything so she (in her 60's) went up to her attic and got all of my uncle's hotspur, beano and dandy magazines so i could read them whenever I went to visit her

I loved them so much
