Being with my kids and grandkids is the best gift I get, any occasion. Practically speaking, the chemistry set with which I burned a hole in my sister's Barbie convertible, discolored the carpet, and classified countless items as "acid" or "base" was the most memorable. Most treasured: a Tom Seaver signed baseball.

My first bicycle when I was seven. Me and my Dad spent time assembling it together and he taught me how to ride it. A trade up from my big wheel. I miss him. - Thanks for your comments, he was the best Dad a kid could have asked for...I consider myself fortunate.

The best gift I ever received was a gorgeous Sapphire ring for my bday from my now ex b/f. I still wear it and love it. Being with my family makes every day feel like a holiday at this point in my life.

A call from my dad in 13 years.

A copy of "The Secret Garden" when I was 8. Resulted in a lifelong love of reading.

Andre the seal from my sister. It's stuck in the attic at the mo. I miss it a lot actually....

The best one would be a guitar. I've always wanted one and my parents got me it. Best parents I can get! It also came with an instruction book, which helped me really well. I love them very much!!!

That would probably be my first real bicycle when I was a kid. As fas as Xmas 2006 goes, it is a sincere and touching greeting card and letter from a Tibetan monk I sponsor in India. The message was very wonderful and touching plus, he sent me a photograph of his mother and his siblings. I was simply floored. Peace, swabby

My second daughter was born two days before my birthday in 2006. The perfect present.

The kiss from my mother is the foremost of all.Other than that it was a gooden watch which i received from my Uncle...

Almost 18 years ago, I got the best birthday gift: Life

One yea I gave my birthday to our youth group as a fund raiser, invited people to bring presents, auctioned them off, and used the money for camp scholarships. It was great fun and a great present.

Diamond earrings.

My husband. He proposed on my birthday.

My husband gave me all the points we had accrued so I could go to Bali and visit the orphanages we support. That was birthday, christmas, mother's day, valentine's day and everything else rolled in....

A night of passionate lovemaking

havign the man i love tell me how much i meant to him.

It was my 35th birthday and my honey took me to the Latin Palace where after a little bit of time proceeded to give me a very naughty lap dance in front of everyone! It was the BEST! Exciting and a lot of fun :-)

Satsumas in a stocking, preferable to any other sort of fruit.

A copy of "my side of the mountain"

A few stuffed animals from a bunch of friends for my 16th birthday. They were pretty much because of a joke that we all had. About 7 of my friends got together and got them for me.

All the little things my children made for me, when they were little :)

My parents gave me my first car when I turned 17 :)

I have two;) A new Drum set when I was twelve;)-From my mom A new minibike when I was fourteen:)-From my dad;) Thay where divorced;)

The best birthday present I ever received was the time I had turned 19, it is the leagal drinking age in Canada. We were all working up at a mine sight in Faro Yukon. 120 people working up in the Pelly Mountain rage, where we were building a huge tailings pond I mean this thing was huge. But on my 19th birth day we all jumper in to the bus after work and much to my surprise there was a big cooler filled with beer on ice I mean there was like 100cans of beer on ice. I did not drink then, but every body started having a party, the superintendent was great he told every one that they were not going to start working until 10am the next day to sleep it off. The superintendant flew some lobster in alaskan king crab and grilled steaks and a keg of beer was sitting under ground in the permafrost keeping cool. The workers in camp had free beer steak night and I got a belt buckle and I was so happy I opened a beer and let it sit in front of me just so people would think I was drinking and not bug me to have a beer. I was in bed by 10pm and the others were still drinking well into the night there were allot of big heads in the morning. The best part of that time was that people some time later remembered the big 19 birthday party I had

For my last birthday, my gf threw me a surprise birthday party with my three closest guy friends. She rang the doorbell at exactly midnight and they all came in with streamers and kazoos. It was amazing because I was not expecting her or any of my friends. My 3 closest friends all live really far away from my house and far away from each other so the logistic to get all three of them together in the same place at night was difficult for her. She cooked for my friends and I a huge dinner and she bought my favorite cake, which was a strawberry cheesecake from a bakery in downtown. She spent weekly knitting me a blue scarf for me to wear since I love scarfs and I collect them. and she made me a photo album/memory book of all our pictures in it with quotes/drawings/decorations on every page. The album took her dozens of hours to put together. I hate being in pictures and she knows it but for months before my birthday, she kept taking my pictures when I wasn't paying attention and she also had all my friends take my pictures too - then she gave back all of the pics in the album.

A table lamp from my dad.It helped me study when others are sleeping.

Every year my mom and I would go to Perkins for my free Bday meal. Well one year when I went they were singing happy bday to me and there was a table of little kids. They all starting singing it as well. I sounded so sweet! I can't tell you how much it meant to me!! It was the sweetest thing EVER!

books of my favaurite author

My husband came home from deployment last year on my birthday. :) It was by far the best gift I could have gotten.

Mustering out.

A very loving mouth hug!

A birthday party from my friends.

A $500.00 dollar giftcard at footlocker.

A TurboGrafix 16 when I was 12, from my dad.

I haven't received a gift from anyone that stands out in my mind. As a child a gift was a rare occurrence. As an adult I haven't received anything that made me sooo happy. I've been blessed and very appreciative but no cigars.

My electric train set, my erector set, my BB gun and my 22 rifle and 20 ga. shotgun. All between the ages of 7 and 12.

At Christmas my Mother and her brother were both there. My Uncle was smoking a pipe with Vanilla tobacco. He was sitting in a big chair smiling as always, my Mom was close by and happy. It was the greatest warm moment ever.

my first 20 inch bicycle it was bright yellow and i was very proud of it

My horse! That's the best ever. I also got married on my birthday weekend, I guess that's like a great gift too.
