Post the favorite gift you GAVE to someone.

I got my best friend the first season of "Arrested Development" on DVD, and I got my roommate "America: the Book." I'm also really pleased with the mix CD I made for everyone else.

So cough it up, DU - what's your favorite thing you gave away today?

.. he/she is SO going to love you for that. The LSL series is one of the funniest things to ever come out of the gaming industry.

I'm highly jealous of Neil!

Hilarious photos of them when they were the Jet Set in 1964. And Crosby always looked freaky, incidentally. :D

Who knew he'd turn into one of pop culture's greatest trainwrecks ever? :evilgrin:

I don't have one!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle sheets.

And he loves them.

(17) a sex lady neon light for his room.

Bought my 24 year old daughter, My Little Pony shampoo.

and another friend a nice DVD player.

yes, they have to help me with my mortgage. Since I just refied I don't have a payment till Feb so I told them no rent for the end of the month. Made them very happy.
Favorite present for me, my house is now worth 391K, woohoo
and its a fixer upper!!! I love las vegas!!

:toast:

to somewhat who saw it at a show and couldn't afford it,so why not,it's better at thier place than in a pile here.

It's the companion book to the PBS series on a few weeks ago...a very nice history of the Broadway theater from the beginning of the late 19th century until today. The book had some stuff not found in the PBS series.

Doug seemed to appreciate it VERY much. I'm glad he did. :-)

It's the gift that keeps on giving!

and I used my miles to put her in first class! :)

big tip for me and it is a buffet - lots of people were eating out today - very nice - set price of 10.99 - got my turkey, gravy, potatoes, applesauce, cranberry sauce, vegatables and apple pie and coffee -

and Battlin' Tops for the kids (really for me).

to my daughter the "Nixon bong"

and looked around web for one, couldn't find one, but it's ceramic, Nixon's head, stripped in red/white and blue, bawl is in mouth, air hole in ear and inhale at top of head. It was a good hit. Bought it back in the 70's.

Big set and a table. It's huge, but my daughter will play with it for years. At least she'd better play with it for years. LOL

It's a pretty dove-gray, double-breasted, knee-length Pendelton wool.

:)

:toast:

I've got a long car trip tomorrow - it will be my companion!

And since you're taking the book on a long car trip, I hope you're not the one driving! ;)

I still have a picure of the look on her face when she first saw him. I miss that cromulent little bastard sometimes.

Got my Dad a Sirius Radio for his Big Truck so he can listen to Air America.

He's getting real politically aware because of me (he voted for the 1st time in his life in November and voted straight Dem ticket) and he can't stand only having OxyRush as a choice on his FM as he runs up and down the highways all week.

I'm looking forward to the Sunday Dinner conversations once he discovers Mike Malloy :7

because you ALWAYS have to have hope!

She likes to wear lots of bangles and bracelets. I wrapped it up with a couple of packs of Sharpies; it's a long story.

The little kids really like that -- they can play big shot and pay the bill. I also gave them Toy Story 2 DVD that I tracked down on eBay for them. (It's in "the vault" or some goofy thing.) Very light on Christmas here.

and my hubby has a Digital Canon Rebel, so I gave him a photo caravan safari - the animals will come right up to the truck and wonder around their HUGE habitats, and he'll be able to take pictures - and make great art!

He loved it!!!

Belle and Sebastion, Calexico, White Stripes, NY Dolls DVDS, and music from The Faint, Pavement, Brian Jonestown Massacre and about six others.

that's the first three wishes of the poor senior gal I adopted. I gave her other stuff like a cool nightlight and some pricy lotion. :D

and I mailed a care package to Mari333's boy in Iraq. :D

It wasn't anything he had ever seen, but it was the best thing he could imagine: an ambulance with front doors and back doors that open,with a stretcher with wheels.
I looked EVRYWHERE. Ambulances aren't exactly the most popular rescue vehicle these days. Finally found a really cool Playmobil one. My boy was over the moon when he opened it.



Too bad Santa gets all the credit. :bounce:

...because he has been losing his hearing. Now he doesn't have to use the captions anymore on the TV, and he is very happy :)

Bitch. That'll teach her.

Seriously, though - no, I didn't, and no, there was no breakup, and no, I don't have crabs or any other STD. That was all just a purile joke. :-)

I think I'm most proud of the cookie decorating sprinkles in the shapes of fish (multicolored) and yellow buses and some other fun shapes that I gave my partner. She was totally overjoyed by them! She also was totally charged up over the gift of bees that I had my sister give in her name through Heifer Project.

And I knew it would be a hit, but it ended up being way more of a hit than expected: I gave my sister the "Jackie Onassis" in pictures book that just came out this year (I think maybe it was just this Fall, not sure). She's lovin' it! And it is a really, really nicely done bit of artwork book making.

to his grandmother and great-grandmother. It made them cry.

house tonight.

And I bought my wife a hookah! No shit!

Hope you had a good X-mas, asthmaticeog. And remember to get pumped for Regis Philbin's New Year's Rockin' Eve!

Nobody throws down like Regis, man -- that dude's got more hot rock in him than Krakatoa.

an authentic flying circus Jenny airplane replica. His eyes lighted
up like a boy getting his first red-ryder shot gun.
The guy is just plane............NUTZ!!!!!!!!!

it was a thrift store find. Quaker Lace Tablecloth - just beautiful.

they are watching it now. And will probably be watching it for weeks to come!

for his trip to British Columbia. I am jealous. Always wanted to go there. I hear the train is running again to the ski resort he's going to. Oh well, I'll get to see the pictures.(sarcasm)

Kid already has 5, but he wanted another and that's all he wanted. It's custom with pink back and pink wheels and a hoodie that says same as board... He happy, me happy. Wasn't going to do anything, but he tooooo special.

little brother a really nice tie that just happens to look exactly like the one Harry Potter and the other Gryffindor boys wear in Prisoner of Azkaban. He's excited because now he can dress up like Harry Potter and no one will suspect a thing!

But I got a set of 6 nesting boxes to put it in. I wrapped each one in a different pattern paper and sealed it in the next bigger one.

She spent about 30 min opening it up.

I gave them an album of the best photos I've taken of Tony over the years.It made his mom cry,but in a good way.

:)

Gave it to my Dad, who FORGOT it at our house! Woohoo! This means I have enough time to look at it before we see him next weekend!

Thanks, Dad!
