I bought myself a bike last year. That doesn't really count. I'd say the complete set of Calvin and Hobbes I got a few years back. It was the most thoughtful gift I've ever received.

As a kid, the Milenium Falcon.
I must have opened that thing 20 times dreaming of the day I finally go to open it. and play with it. My parents had to know now that I look back on it. Wrapping paper wrinkles so bad, but I had to keep looking at it.

As an adult.. My Umbrella Cockatoo that I had to return because I ended up with overseas orders again right after the Holidays

One day ill have another!

Thats a bad ass gift. I have most of them, but Im still missing a couple.

I honestly cant think of what my favorite gift has been.

My cousin sent me his Gibson guitar....

He was a guitar prodigy... and then he lost his middle finger on his playing hand in a landscaping accident. Boulder rolled right over and severed it. He could have probably worked around his lack of finger to play casually, but he would have never been anywhere as good. I think it hurt him so much that he just stopped playing altogether.... It makes me sad everytime I think about it, because I will never be a fraction of a what he was...

last year my gf got me a hardcover copy of my favorite childhood book (it's out of print so she had to have ebay'd it). That was one of the sweetest, most thoughtful gifts I've ever gotten.

It comes in a three book hard cover set. Weighs about 30-40lbs. She could barely lift it when she bought it.

Although it came from the ex, my bike was my best gift.

A CAA (like AAA) card. Never had to use it, but the thought was nice.
