Best Gift You Gave What is the best gift you gave this Christmas? I would say just a rubber ball for my niece as it made her happy.
Not for X-Mas, but for one of my closest friend's birthdays. A Vince Carter jersey i got for my friend who's a Nets freak. Worth $120+tax Canadian. Don't want to sound like a slouch, but i'm still waiting for something equal in value in return. haha
For my wife - a necklace with 4 small pearls in a pea pod. We're expecting our 2nd child next June to make it 4 peas in a pod... For my son - Toby the Tram Engine (Thomas the Train stuff). He got a ton of toys, but this is the one that made him the happiest.
For some reason your story hit me in the soft spot. I hope everything goes well for you and your family.
I gave somebody a Vietnamese sandwich and told them it was the best in the world. They proceeded to take a bite, spit it out and curse at me.
I got it: <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/WhwbxEfy7fg&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/WhwbxEfy7fg&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
I'm staying at my parents' place for Christmas... and I gave them a Blu-ray player. I waited until they went to bed and set it up in the living room. Then when we opened presents in the other room, I had them unwrap their Blu-rays last. Of course they looked all confused and asked whether I had brought my PS3 so they could watch these... and I told them they better check the living room. It was pretty sweet. Best gift I think I've given and also best reaction. They were completely blown away.
