Everyone loves receiving gifts. That is one of boomtho's theorems.

Anyway, gifts are on my mind because my birthday is coming up and my friends & ms. boomtho have been asking what I want. I'm always really bad at gifts - both deciding what I want and coming up with gifts for others. On a related note, I may have forgotten ms. boomtho's birthday gift one year. Oops!

Sorry, I forgot that I have to get to 150 words. Which is a lot of words. Like, words on words on words! But I wanted to talk about the best gifts people have ever received. What gifts have absolutely floored you? (well, not like a punch to the dome. but metaphorically floored you). Was it jewelry from that special someone? A sentimental copy of "Oh the places you'll go?" from your Dad. A surprise trip from your friends? An impromptu dinner?

CGB: What is the best gift you've ever received? Why was it so awesome? Or, flip-side: what's the worst gift you've ever received?

Bonus points for inanity, hilarity, grossness, and other traits that CGB values so highly.
