Well? :hoj:
(some one is going to say "a kidney" rendering the rest of this thread pointless. Watch.)
When I was in high school or junior college, my mom's VCR was failing. I tended not to spend a lot, so I always had lots of money (this was obviously before I discovered eBay). So I bought her a new VCR. She still says that was too generous.
Mine wasn't a 'gift' as such, but for my younger brother's 18th birthday back in '85, I paid his travel and lodging expenses on a 3 week trip around Europe, flying in to Alicante in Spain, spending a fortnight following the coast around to Lisbon in Portugal, then a week travelling home by train, stopping off at various places.
Apart from a little 'mix up' involving some Portuguese drug dealers - which could have turned out hairy, but one of them loved Man Utd and understood English - he loved every minute of it.*
ps. Those "Inter Rail" train tickets were one of the best inventions ever.
* Hang on, apart from the other time when we lost him for a few hours in Cologne.
My dick.
Failing that, which is a distinct possibility, I once had a tiramisu overnighted in dry ice from the best Italian bakery in New York for a girl who said it was her favorite. That $200 was totally worth it.
Forget the kidney...surely, no one's going to top Cluricaun's dick!Quote:

I got the full sized print for her, and framed it as well.
The look in her eyes was totally worth it.
I once gifted an Xbox 360, because she really liked video games.
I don't even see her anymore, and kind of want it back, as terrible as that sounds.
But hey, it got me laid.
For Christmas one year, I bought my ex a PlayStation2. This was back when it first came out, so it was a very big deal.
Funny this thread was just bumped. My husband's birthday is today, and I got him a flat screen TV. It's probably the most I've ever spent on a gift. (Although it's kind of a cheat because we were eventually going to buy it anyway!)
I guess the biggest single gift I ever gave anyone would have been the dulcimer I gave my mother several Christmases ago.
I love dulcimers.
I gifted someone else's penis.
I think that may win.Quote:

Of course, I gave my kid some pretty snappy genes.
