What is the best gift you've ever received.

Mine is probably my DLSR Canon EOS 6D, photography is just a hobby of mine but it is satisfying.

Genuinely don't know the answer to this. I wouldn't describe a child as a gift as such.

My first car (Suzuki Sj410) for my 15th birthday was a pretty great one

I think the best gift I ever received was a toy from the kids' tv show M.A.S.K.

The reason I liked it so much is because, aged 8, I'd blown out my birthday candles and wished for it just a few minutes previously. Unwrapping it was a really magical experience because of that as I didn't recall discussing it at any length with my parents

I'm easily pleased. I took it to school and someone stood on it, bending the axles. It squeaked after that but was no less fun to play with

A picture of my dog drawn in crayon, taken from a photo I took of him as a puppy.

Hangs in my study, even more special now the poor lad is no longer with us.

As a child one of these, which I got when I broke a leg which obviously made it worthwhile!:



Johnny Seven gun.

As an adult would have to be like the OP, my Nikon DSLR, opened up a whole new life for me!

vomit That aint a gift! You bloody made them you tube, unless some stalk found them under a gooseberry bush and dropped them off on your doorstep (while your wife was shagging the milk man). First reply n'all.


Anyway, on a slightly related not for my first fathers day I got a bottle of my favourite whiskey with a message engraved on the bottle-that takes some beating. The watch from my dad on my 21st, being taken out to dinner by my wife at our favourite restaurant, oh and flying a stunt plane as well one year.

Best PH gift though, definitely the R26.R owners pack from Renault for being one of the 150 odd nutters who actually bought the car! As I was at work the posty dropped it off at work for me and it was totally unexpected-apparently I looked like a kid at xmas. Still got it in the loft somewhere.

1906 King Edward VII gold sovereign in my grandmother's will.

Only one of 26 grandchildren to get one.

I still have it.

Something similar here.

When I was a boy, I used to 'look after' my Aunt Nellie's long case Victorian barometer. I'd polish the glass on its face and rub
fingerprints off its convex mirror. I was even allowed to tap it to make it register.

I was sad when she died but was overjoyed to be told she'd left it to me in her will.

I had it restored, with repairs to the wood and a re-application of its painted leaf design, I had a new tube put in and a refill of mercury. It still hangs on my wall and it remains very accurate. I've owned it for 35 years now.

Bobsleigh down the Olympic bob run in St Moritz- a surprise for my 40th birthday from my in-laws.

It was awesome!
