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 best birthday present I ever got, was my daughter. Got pregnant on my birthday and now have a beautiful granddaughter from her.

THE WORST PRESENT I EVER CAME FROM MY BROTHER, WE WERE KIDS STILL IN OUR TEENS,
HE GOT AN OLD FASHIONED FLANNEL NIGHTSHIRT 3 SIZES TOO BIG FROM THE GOODWILL
I LOOKED LIKE A LITTLE KID PLAYING DRESS-UP... LOL
BUT IT'S THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS...RIGHT

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.

Alan taking me to Desert Inn in Vegas. The hotel was wonderful. It's such a shame they tore it down.

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.

Well I guess my worst Gift has to be that Sausage / Cheese Thingee


And my Best Gift a newer type cell phone that my daughter surprised me with

a couple of years ago. Definitely could never afford myself and wasn't expecting it.

Best present on 25th december was 39 years ago,when I heard that I would be father for the second time...

Best Present ever has to be the tool chest my mom bought me. it holds almost all my tools. it fits me perfectly since I love to fix stuff.

YOU KNOW THE MAGNETIC CALENDARS 3x3 INCHES IN SIZE, WELL I JUST LOVE THEM AND CAN NEVER FIND THEM . USUALLY PEOPLE GIVE THEM AWAY FOR FREE AT BUSINESS BUT LUCKILY BINGO SKY SENDS THEM OUT EVERY OTHER YEAR TO THERE DEPOSITING PLAYERS AND I THINK THAT IS THE BEST GIFT EVER. PRETTY SILLY BUT THEY MAKE ME HAPPY...LMAOOO.

The best birthday present is Pa taking me out to dinner and I don't have to cook.

The best gift I have gotten, that I remember, is when Everygame gave me $100. I made the playthrough and cashed out $500.

ONE OF THE BEST BIRTHDAY GIFTS I EVER GOT, WAS A MICROWAVE OVEN
YEARS AGO, BEFORE THEY BECAME A STANDARD KITCHEN APPLIANCE.
GREAT FOR FOLKS THAT HATE TO COOK...LIKE ME!

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.
