Best Christmas gift you'll be giving.

[skcin]

We'll have to do another thread next week about "best gift received", but for now, let's do this one. I am one of those people who honestly really does love giving more than receiving, so:

1) What's the best gift you got for somone this year? It doesn't have to be big, or really expensive. Just special - the one you're most excited to give.

2) What's the best gift you got for someone - ever? And why?

1) I bought hubby The Duke's of Hazzard Season 1 on DVD. Cheesy - yes. Really, really cheesy - of course! But HE is going to LOVE it. It's a huge part of his memories growing up, he still makes references to the show (well, they're mostly about Daisy, but whatever...)

I bought "America: The Book" for my sister-in-law. I don't even know if she's heard much about it (they don't have cable), but I know she'll find it hilarious. She loves to read & as soon as I perused my brother's copy, I knew she'd love it.

2) Hubby collects Labatt beer stuff & he had been searching for this motion bar lighted sign for years (it's like one of those pictures where the water looks like it's moving.) I found it last year on ebay & didn't have to give my right arm for it, so I bought it. He was thrilled.

Last year, one of my coworkers and I were talking about books, reading, the Bookmobile & stuff about when we were kids. She mentioned that she loved a certain book so much growing up called "The Top of the Pizzas." She had one ragged old copy & the book was now OOP. So I found it on the net & gave it to her for Christmas. Now, I knew she'd like it, but holy sh*t! She about peed her pants, started jumping up & down, called her husband, ran around showing everyone at work. I won't ever forget her reaction, and how great it felt to make a person so happy with so little.
