BEST. CHRISTMAS. PRESENTS. EVARRRR!

[Aulayna]

Title is self explanatory. What's the best, or most surprisingly thoughtful, gift you've ever received?

For me it would've been about... oooh... 8 or 9 years ago now. Pike was working at Target (I think) and the Nintendo DS had just come out in America and I was droning on and on and on and on at her about how I was really looking forward to it and how I was so annoyed it wasn't out in Europe until later the next year.

Fast forward a couple of weeks and Nintendo DS with Super Mario 64 DS turns up in the mail. She'd told me she'd try and send one but I honestly never expected her to actually do it. Especially as I'd only really known her for a few months at that point.

I still get happy inside just thinking about that.

Whatever my boyfriend gets me this year.

I'm also going to rep the next Pike post I see because of that story.

(SPOILER)I did it so I could get a custom rank on TSR

I'm so glad you remember that though! I love how excited you were Didn't it break not long after? I remember being sad about that

As for me, well, last year Hux bought me an Xbox 360 :}

Yeah it got knocked off the table onto the stone patio and the top screen got a black screen tear as a result.

My corgi.

One year I got an autographed Frodo/Elijah Wood picture. <3

Also, a couple years ago my mom got me a Hosier Hut t-shirt. I jumped up and down and screamed like a 5-year-old for about 3 minutes. Same as the couple years before that when my parents finally got me a shirt with the Irish flag on it.

The Commodore C64 my parents bought me when I was 6 years old.

[Pike]

Commodore 64 was how I played all my games for like the first ten years of my life. Hi5 bro.

A few years ago my husband disassembled a keyboard to paint it pink. It was kind of messy and peeled off easily, but it was my favorite color, and he made it for me. I was really sad when it stopped working, though I still have it in my closet.

Got C.C. Rider for Christmas back in 2005. Best present ever.

Nice! I moved onto the NES and Master System after 2 years though. I still have the C64 somewhere.

Nothing will ever beat the surreal feeling of getting my very own NES with three games all at once. My parent's bought a cheaper package that didn't come with Super Mario Bros. (though I quickly obtained that one), but the three games were:

*R.C. Pro-Am (an early Rareware racing game)
*Pinball
*Mega Man 2

My mother walked over on Christmas during a blizzard to give me a sweater and Metroid Fusion when I was sixteen. I still have both. :aimsmile:

[Night Fury]

The year I got my first laptop.

Prior to that, maybe when my dad got me a Playstation 2 and Final Fantasy X because we stayed up all night on the weekends playing it together
