This year I gave one of my friends the Blackadder Complete Collector's Set. I'm tellin' ya, it's one of the best damn gifts anyone could get.
But the one thing I've given so far that was best received wasn't a Christmas gift at all - a printed copy of the rough draft of my novel. I gave this to my best friend because I want her to help me proofread, edit, and come up with ideas for a title. I also gave her a sword/flintlock pistol replica, a silver necklace with a charm of a dancing cat as drawn by her fav. author Edward Gorey, and some Spongebob ornaments. I could've saved myself a whole lot of money and just given her the damn book!
