Favorite gift you gave someone?
What is your favorite gift that you gave someone? Or the gift you gave that was most loved by the recipient?
Re: Favorite gift you gave someone?
i gave DH a lego millennium falcon and i loved seeing his face light up when he saw it (and yeah, dude is almost 35 and is excited about a star wars toy)
For my brother who is impossible to shop for, we bought him gloves that work with your iphone. He was really excited. He lives in NYC and walks 12 blocks to work so I know it will be a much appreciated and loved gift.
In cheeky's vein, I pre-ordered DH star wars for XBox 360 Kinect and he is ridiculously excited. I also made him go through many layers of gift boxes with clues before the big reveal, just for fun.
My brother, sister and I all pitched in and got my parents a 47" tv. I wasn't home for Christmas, but my sister said my dad about passed out with glee. My was pretty excited, even though she could care less about that type of stuff.
My favorite gift I got was my new slippers from DH. Super lame - but soooooo cozy!
We make the rockin' world go 'round.

every year, the grandparents' (DH's and my parents) favorite gifts are the 120-pg photobooks I make for each child's year (birth-1, 1-2, 2-3, etc).
DH bought himself a new smart phone w/ "our" money and he loves it
Planning Bio
My husband was most excited by his remote control indoor helicopter and his PS3 with games including Call of Duty.
We gave my niece personalized Disney Princess books which had her name, friends names, and her location throughout them- they turned out awesome.
Not part of the question, but.... I was most excited by Caps/Rangers tickets for tomorrow night- row 7 and a Caps jersey. Even though the caps have been playing so-so, we have never sat that close in Verizon Center, so I am extremely excited. (plus rangers are my 2nd fav team and have been playing well)
