A retro red Kitchen Aid mixer!
Definirely Barbie’s Dream House when I was 7. Loved it!
I love London Drugs!
Best gift I ever received for Christmas was a Trevor Linden jersey!
my best present is a 3 way tie. a sing along record player, Kermit and Fozzie bear stuffed animals and a Fisher Price Movie Camera (it took cartridges that you turned a crank to see the movie)…seeing what I do now I’d say they helped form me. 🙂 Merry Christmas and a Happy and Lucky 2012 Miss 604!
And typing on an iPhone is *definitely* not easy. Apparently.
A trip
A handmade coupon from my son promising me a minimum of 4 hugs a day for as long as he’s alive!
Best gift(s) I ever got is my husband making Christmas dinner every year. He’s a trained cook & he does a fantastic job of it every time and makes it look so effortless! I am so grateful to him. (he doesn’t consider cooking a “gift” but I do) 🙂
A pool cue singed by Efren Reyes
My husband just gave me two tickets to The Book of Mormon on Broadway next summer! So excited, and one of my best presents ever – because it means we’re REALLY going!
Ummm…a Bike 🙂
My best gift ever was a mini sewing machine I received when I was in elementary school. I still have it and use it!
Even though at the time it didn’t feel like such a great thing – my son was a real Christmas surprise present! He was born a week before Christmas 8 years ago.
The surprise and “not-so-great” part was that he was not due until February, which made him 8 weeks early and he had to stay in the hospital until mid-January.
The long-story-short version is that he is a great kid, and he has constantly amazed us at his progress and is a smart, talented, and very athletically inclined kid!!
A plush lion!
Best present this year was the Steve Jobs biography =D
The best Christmas present I ever received was my baby brother. 21 years ago!
Red rubber boots.

An engagement ring… 🙂 (not this year a few years back)
The best Christmas gift I ever received was a ring from my husband. When we got married we didn’t have a lot, and bought our rings at a pawn shop. A few years later we were at Canada place and I saw an antique ring there in a shop that I fell in love with. My husband surprised me with it for Christmas about seven years ago, it is really special and I love it!

The Best Christmas Present I ever received was my K-tel “Super Slider Sno-Skates”… I used to get towed behind our snowmobile… http://youtu.be/48ysOQZY6iw
Best Christmas present ever was not that of value but of just the fact that i was able to see all of my family together again , as one of the many just making end’s meet and barely living from one pay check to the next such gift’s are but a dream.
A set of building blocks.
A last minute change of plans which brought my grand daughter home for Christmas!
When I was about 4 or 5 years old I got a plastic ride-on motorcycle with a crank on the gas tank that when turned made the engine sound. 🙂 I got in trouble for taking it to the top of a large hill and riding down at the side of the road while turning the crank on the tank.
Favourite present came from my aunt last year, which was a calendar that she had made with iPhoto with pictures of my family for every month. I was in Australia this year, and that calendar kept me from getting too homesick!

My daughter was ten, it was my first Christmas not married, she bought me a few fifty cent note pads for my purse with Besse Pease Guttman (my favorite artist at that time) little children on them. She was so upset she couldn’t get me more and hadn’t spent very much on them. But I loved to write poetry on a whim, they were perfect purse size, and so well thought out! I really loved them!
Socks!
My best Christmas present was when my kids pitched in and gave me a digital camera. I’ve always used an old film camera but they always insisted that I switched to using a digital one. I love taking pnotos (especially of my family) and I’ve been loving my Canon digital camera ever since I got it!

She passed away in 2003 and I now wear both. I miss my Mom the most at Christmas.
My best friend knew I couldn’t afford to buy anything for my kids for Christmas and so without me knowing, her and her kids bought a bunch of presents, wrapped them and shipped them to me. Because of her, my kids got to have a good Christmas. Even with no gifts for my husband and I, we had a good Christmas simply because of the joy our kids had.

My best Christmas present ever was when I was 15.

The best present will be yet to come…
Since my dog tore her acl a few weeks ago we were going to have to put her down because we didn’t have money to pay for her surgery so the best gift was having half of the 1300 surgery paid for and having our dog alive and home with us and our kids even if it meant giving up gifts this year
One last Xmas with my beloved Grandfather before he passed away, a month later. We packed so much love into those moments because we knew they were the last Xmas memories we were ever going to share with him. I will always be grateful we had that time as a family.
That is a beautiful camera-red is my favourite colour. It would be fabulous to capture new memories with something that pretty!
The gift of ‘time’ from my kids. Best gift ever. It’s priceless to have my children take time out of their busy lives and invite me out for the day, for lunch or even out just for coffee.
Best Christmas present ever was a poem written to me by my family. Will always cherish that.
when I was little, I lost my beloved stuffed animal. I asked santa for it back. poor mom spent all of christmas eve turning the house upside down (again) looking for it. and found it. I consequently believed in santa far longer than I should have (I had proof – santa found the toy when my family couldn’t!). I was very happy christmas morning. 🙂
My best Christmas present: iPod nano
Last year my youngest son surprised me with a MacBook Air to replace my old laptop. He saved all year…..love it and him.
I’m going to have to say my first Walkman. Awesome!
A Kitchenaid Stand Mixer.
Canucks shirt
Probably 30 years ago and it is my portable Mickey Mouse record player. I still have it and everytime I see it, I remember the feeling seeing it under my stocking and how excited I was to have it. Don’t know if I even have any records left but I just can’t part with the player.
Naturally luxurious smokey grey silk sheets ~ not to be confused with cheesy polyester
Way back when … I got ultra super tack skates
The best present was when my husband bought me a laptop a few years ago. It was a real surprise.
A Laptop!
The best gift I can remember was when I was seven years old. My parents had big fight and mom went to grandma’s house for few days. Dad acted as if nothing was wrong but I was missing mom so much that I secretly contacted grandma to reach mom. When I finally got the number to reach her, I quietly inserted coins to make the call. After long wait of dial, I heard mom’s voice. I talked to mom for an hour until dad returned from work. Mom and I promised to meet the next day. When I saw her next day, the tears from both of our eyes kept rolling down our cheeks.
Then she handed a ugly looking monkey and said “Thanks for being such a good girl. I love you.”
I knew this doll and I will be best friends forever.
Everyone who saw the doll didn’t understand why a girl would be sleeping with such an ugly doll.
But since that stuff animal laid beside me every night, I could sleep soundly.
My parents got together after long discussion and my influence.
When I immigrated to Canada and shipment of our household stuff arrived a month later, I couldn’t find the monkey. I was extremely sad for days and weeks but I just knew that it was time for me to grow up as a woman and leave my childhood in my heart and move on.
I still miss my monkey and wonder where it went 🙁
Thanks for reading ^_^

Is it wrong that I can’t think of a “best” Christmas present ever? I’ve gotten lots of things I like, but none of them stand out as the best ever. I guess I’m still waiting for that to come along…
Skis and a North Face jacket!
trip to Hawaii
a teddy bear that I still have almost 30 years later
My first boyfriend gave me a string of pearls for xmas one year. I still have them!
a wool sweater!
A handmade scrapbook from two friends 🙂
A DSLR camera which my BF knew I’d been eyeing for over a year. What made it quite special is that I knew he could barely afford it. He really wanted to please me with that present. So its value is more in his affection for me than the object itself.
I should mention that that camera is totally outdated now – 3 Megapixels and few features compared to the ones out now. I’d love this one in the contest. The Nikon Coolpix L20 looks great – fully loaded.
The best Christmas present I ever got was a red 10 speed that was waaaay to big for me. Years later, the bike bug still has me.
Sony 46″ TV
My own laptop.

The best Christmas present I ever received was an oak trunk my father built for me to put my keepsakes in. It is even more special now that he has passed away and I can remember sitting and watching him make it for me when I was only 12.
My dog Zak!
The best present was a color TV set. At the time we only had a black and white set. It was great watching shows in color; Gilligan’s Island, Space 1999, Planet of the Apes TV series, Muppet Show, etc. It was more of a present for the whole family than to myself.
The best thing i get every year.. time with the family. But in terms of stuff a new pair of headphones.
Aero bars for my road bike!
The best Christmas present I ever received was when I had my landing papers delivered in 2009 so that I could come to live in Canada in 2010.
a car
Getting a new computer
A brand new bike!
The best present I ever received was the original Gameboy I received from my sister when I was 11 years old (31 now). I still remember checking the weekly flyers (K-Mart, Zellers, Woolco & Canadian Tire) for months leading up to Christmas, clipping out the lowest prices on this item and posting it on the fridge just to drop hints to family members 🙂 (The lowest price I found btw was $87 @ Canadian Tire – so it wasn’t necessarily an easily affordable gift, especially with our finances.) When my sister got it for me, I was SOOOOOOO HAPPY!! It was a special type of excitement that only comes after months and months of wishing, anticipation (and begging :), and I think only possibly to truly understand when you are a kid. Of course reflecting back on it, I do see how spoiled I was, so every year I always try to give back and get gifts for everyone in the family – mainly the younger kids, and hope to recreate the special feeling that was given to me that year.
A new laptop
GI Joe Base!!
I got a top of the line Garmin GPS for my van! It’s great – especially since I drive all over the city with my kids. And this time I won’t get lost in Detroit!!!! And it has lifetime map uploads for free!
Very accurate.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
I got a Blackberry playbook — woo hoo! It will come in handy for work purposes, plus the game on it is awesome!

My best Christmas present was a complete copy of a nurses’ uniform when I was five…..came with a doctor’s kit with pills from Dr. U.B. Well!
Best gift was a scheduled get away with my husband where he did all the planning and arranging.
My fave Christmas present ever was when my Dad bought me a musical Teddy Bear from Shoppers Drug Mart when I was 7 yrs old. It was my first teddy bear & my first Christmas at home after living in a hospital & recovering from many surgeries to enable me to walk. I still have the teddy bear & treasure it as much today as I did many years ago. It’s of great sentimental value & beats all the pricier gifts I’ve received since.
I got pregnant with my first son on christmas eve, i wasnt sure i was going to be able to have kids so that was the best gift ever, now i have 3 of them !

The best gift I ever received was a gift tag from my son when he was 11…he wrote on it that his gift to me would be a day off – he would do all the housework – such a thoughtful gift for a single mom of four! 🙂
I still have that tag. 🙂
Gameboy when I was 10!
My husband didn’t normally do more than stocking stuffers for Christmas, with the usual bath oil beads that I never used, etc. But one year he bought me some wonderful sheepskin slippers and a thick terry bath robe. It was wonderful because it was such a huge, huge difference from his normal pattern.
Planes tickets from my love for us to go visit my parents in France after not seing then fore more than a year and also stopping 5 days in NYC!

Best gift – a trip to Mexico
A new bicycle when I was 8 years old.
A marriage proposal on Christmas eve 2004 at the Stanley Park Christmas Train ! We are still happily married with 2 beautiful children.
Christmas 1985 – The #1 item on my wish-list was a Care-Bears purse set. It was not under the tree on Christmas morning and I was pretty disappointed. Later in the day, however, we went to my Aunt’s place, and she told me Santa left something at her house for me….and it was my Care-Bears purse set! One of my most favourite Xmas memories and meant the world to me at 7 years old 🙂
Marrying my best friend 4 days before Christmas, 3 years ago. It was a surprise proposal and we pulled it all off within 2 weeks.
my new DSLR camera from my hubby this year
The best gift by far, is watching my four kids as they pitter patter down the hall with excitement at the wonder of what Santa has brought them. Big smiles on their faces and even bigger smile on mine.

A print set when I was a little girl – it was oh so messy but so much fun! Keep in mind that this was over 50 years ago so the letters were individual rubber faces and were dipped in ink pads. What was my mom thinking…
When I was small I was such a tom boy, that all I wanted was a blk/white leather soccer ball. I noticed days before Christmas a present under the tree shaped like a box that could be holding my soccer ball. I stared, shook, and prayed it was it. When Christmas morning finally arrived which seemed like a year of waiting, I opened that present first. I was so happy and thought it was for sure my best Christmas ever!!!
The best gift I ever received was getting my fiance’s mother’s permission to propose to her daughter over the holidays.

I’d have to say the best gift would have to be seeing the excitement of Christmas through my children’s eyes this year. They’re just 4 & 1, and it was so much fun this year. I am cherishing every moment spent with my family even moreso these days, as I’m going to be starting chemo in January, after a recent breast cancer diagnosis. Seeing family is also special. I’m so thankful for my friends and family.
The best Christmas present I ever received was when I was 12. I wanted a “jockey” style hat that was in style that year and my Mom had said no as she didn’t like them. Knowing how much I wanted one my brother who was 10 at the time took all his money and bought me a white one for Christmas. I remember crying so hard that Christmas day because my younger brother had used all his pocket money to buy me something a really wanted so badly. He was so proud when I opened his gift and I was so proud for him.

The best present I ever received came from my mother 15 years ago. We had been out shopping for something for a family member’s birthday and I fell in love with an antique carved chest that was quite expensive but gorgeous. Clearly, she saw me drooling over it because at some point she purchased it for me. It was and is beautiful and now serves as my ‘coffee table’ with a cut piece of glass atop. I love it just as much as I did back then and it has even more sentimental value now as my mother suffers with severe dementia now and will never again remember how much I loved that chest…:-( Makes my heart break but it also makes me appreciate it more…Perhaps I may win and be able to take a nice photo of it for her and see if by chance she may remember. I sure miss her…Thanks for the opportunity to win such great prizes! Tis’ very generous of you! *~Happy New Year~*

Best Christmas present? Re-discovering that, despite the material trappings of Christmas, it means nothing without people to share it with. Seeing my daughter for the first time in months since she moved to Toronto re-affirmed this. Sappy, but true!
My best gift I ever received at Christmas time was a Nintendo, it was my first video gaming system and it brought me a lot of joy.
It’s not all that exciting, but a vacuum was a really great and much needed Christmas gift.

A few days before Christmas we were at the mall shopping, we walked into the pet store , I saw a ferret and told my hubby how I was afraid of them since I was a child. Well come Christmas morning he tells me to close my eyes and hold out my arms, so I do and when I open my eyes , I see a ferret looking at me. I drop the ferret and scream. Of coarse my hubby has no idea what is happening, he thinks I said I Loved ferrets and admits that he was not listening to me in the pet store. We kept the ferret and in the end Mr.Jangles ( my ferret) was the Best pet I ever had.
