The best birthday present that I ever got was a pair of new skis for my 16th birthday. I got them just in time to go away for the ski weekend with my High School.

The worst birthday present I ever got was a bottle of "expensive, very good" wine from a close friend
I took it on my casino birthday weekend, iced it down, lit the candles, put on
a sexy teddy and romantic music. Then popped the cork and poured 2 glasses of vinegar ! The wine had turned and was undrinkable. Everything ready to party, with nothing to drink.
Luckily Coushatta Casino has a convenience store on the property so Hubby got dressed and made a liquor run. We had a great evening but I really was disappointed about not being able to drink some quality wine instead of the ones in the marked down bin at the grocery store.
I had a boyfriend in high school, we were dating about 2 years. At Christmas I bought him a bunch of things,and he gave me my gift. A bag of things from Rite Aid. Including a brush, pack of cards, some candy, Shampoo and conditioner, and a few other things I can't remember. I just remember how I re thought our relationship after that no thought probably last minute gift.

My best birthday present was a lei and a luau. We had been waiting for 2 years for a job in Hawaii for hubby. He was a dolphin trainer, so Hawaii is the ultimate location. We got the phone call that he was hired and a month later (June) we moved. To make it even sweeter, it was my 40th birthday, and really special so we went to a luau. We lived there for 12 years and loved every minute.
