The Gift Thread

**Robstar** · 11-28-2012, 10:32 PM

This year is going to be great because now my daughter is almost 6, she's really aware of what Christmas is all about (not the religious part ironically) and the wonder and excitement is really there for her now, which makes it unreal for me too! I've got her a bike and about a million (slight exaggeration) books, about 40 from the Horrible History series among others.

Oh I mean books for giving. Broad appeal, for adults.

The best gift I have ever gotten was probably one of the call of duty games.. I play them so much.
The best gift I have ever given was probably a metal fold out chair... It was to a girl who called me chair from high school on because I gained it during a debate tournament for apparently not having a soul. so instead of signing the chair dennis, I signed it chair and when she opened it she laughed hysterically. it was not in a box or anything and she couldn't guess what it was... it made me chuckle how surprised she was.

Since your not american I don't know if you have read many american classics. to kill a mockingbird is as good as it gets for an american classic.

You'll have to hit ebay since they stopped printing new copies a few years ago, my set cost about 150.00 but it had every book in the series including the side chronicle stories

The best gift I ever got was this past year for my birthday. My wife has gotten into wrestling thanks to me and she has the same taste in it that I do; the athletic aspect is more appealing than the "entertainment" aspect. She is a big time fan of TNA and despises the WWE product (sorry Rob, but she hates Vickie the most. She agrees that she's a great heel, but her voice is such a turn off that she can't even listen to her speak.) I have been to many wrestling events when they are in my area, but this past year my wife went all out and bought us floor seats (4th row) to see the 10 year anniversary of TNA (Slammiversary X) in Dallas. It caught me completely off guard when she told me about the event in June, and she even set up a dinner for us with a few of my friends who live in Dallas. We had such a great time and if anyone saw the event, it was even more amazing in person. I started several chants at the event that went through the whole arena and my wife even brags that she got to slap hands with Jeff Hardy (who she isn't a big fan of, but still thought it was cool.)

The best gift I ever gave was for my wife the year we got married. Her birthday had come up and we were still dating at the time, but I bought her a necklace and a pair of earrings that I thought was very sweet. We were at her parents’ house and everyone had given their gifts to her, with me being last. She opened the box and immediately her eyes flooded with tears (we were dating and had "talked" about marriage one day at this point, but I think this birthday is what sold her on the idea) as she just stared at them. A BIG smile came over her face and she got up and hugged me real hard. I didn't know it at the time, but the charm attached to the two items was a "love knot" and was something that she had really wanted. It meant the world to her that I gave her something with such meaning behind it. I will never forget that look on her face and the smile that gift produced.

The best I've gotten was an autographed Stan Musial St. Louis Cardinals hat. Got it last year and literally almost cried.

Mythbuster's did a moonlanding special, that completely debunked all the skeptical claims of falsify a lunar landing. It was superb. I wish I was a Mythbuster.

Did MythBusters also debunk the idea of getting and giving gifts as a falsehood in life because I'd watch that show

Sorry, I figured you meant this to be in the conspiracy section, but I had to take the shot when it was wide open
