What is the best holiday gift you’ve ever gotten?
I’ll start this one, too. The year my husband and I got engaged, he didn’t really have money to buy me a present (because, hello, diamonds are expensive). So, he gave me all of his books from when he was little. As a future (and now former) teacher, it was really, really sweet.

The year before I moved away from home I awoke Christmas morning to find an empty Toolbox sitting by the wood stove:
To: Amy
From: ‘The Masked Avenger’
The rest of the day, my relatives gave me various tools to fill it with, and I still have it… 3 apartments, 1 house, and many new tools and years later.
The tag (faded though it is) is still taped to the inside of the lid.
Thanks, Dad.
My mom built me a dollhouse WITH HER OWN HANDS.
Gosh, I should really call her more often.
A TIVO. I have used it every single day since for years and years, even though it was a gift that came with a price since to activate it for a lifetime subscription was $299 and that wasn’t included in the gift.
And it was a gift that came with an addiction, because then my husband wanted one on his TV, so we had to buy a second one and pay $6.95 a month to activate it. So it was the gift that keeps on costing.
A new Cabbage Patch Kid with a ticket to see New Kids on the Block taped to the inside of the box! It was 20 years ago and I’m still excited about it. Nice one, parents.
(Kelly, I typed out Space Tree but then felt guilty and went with the dollhouse. No joke.)

This year. A Wii. It will be the best present i will get. But before this, umm.. probably a TIVO.
