    Best present received, when my boys were little a friend got us a voucher for a meal out and completed it with a 'babysitting voucher' so we could go, so thoughtful.

    Best present given, probably all of last years, we made so many people happy and not a penny was on a credit card, catalogue account or loan. My Dad cried when he opened his laptop, as did my partners relative when she opened a voucher for a spa day, my Mam did too.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    ohh,


    well on my 28th birthday, my son was born. Don't think I'll ever top that one!

    Especially as he was 10lb 6oz! great present though!

    He was 5 two weeks ago, but it only seems like yesterday that he was born!

  • My boyfriend gave me a pound coin in a heart shaped tin, best present ever.

    To anyone else it would sound like a rubbish present, but we have a thing where if either of us is going out, or looks down, or just for any reason, we slip each other a pound coin and a smile.

    So he made me a stocking with a little tin in the bottom with a pound in it, it made me so happy, just conjured up the whole essence of why we love each other.

    Sorry for being so sickbags :D
  • Bought my sister her best present apparently....

    ....a shoebox I'd filled with choc bars. Better than choc selecion as I could buy 1 of everything in Woolies etc. Costly.....but she said it was the coolest present ever (and she's 30!)
