Best xmas present ever

Ok folks, best prezzie you ever received and why. Doesn't have to be expensive just something that meant the most to you.

Mine was a handmade selection hamper of bottled beers from every country I have ever visited. It took research to find out what I drank whilst there and then as most aren't available in the UK effort to get them imported. Every mouthful invoked memories of past travels.

When me, my little brother and my mum especaped my abusive ‘father’ we were living in a total awful area, in a dingy flat. Mum was single, only worked weekends when my auntie could babysit (wasn’t allowed to work when she was still with my father and she had two children under three, and my brother is autistic.) I remember her crying on Christmas Day because she felt she had failed us - she had gotten me a backpack, shaped like Winnie the Pooh. I still have it, and adore it

It would have to be a Peugeot racing bike I got when I was about 6, it wasn't lucky for me later as I got knocked off it a year latet by an idiot driver.

But it started a life long passion for cycling.

Not a Christmas present but it goes in this sort of category. I volunteer with vulnerable people. Some time ago I mentioned offhand a symbol that's incredibly meaningful to me, in the context of something else. A few weeks later it was my birthday. One of the people I worked with hunted in the local charity shops to find one.

I struggled not to cry. It was just so thoughtful.

Actual Christmas present, I got a cheap compact clock radio from a relative about 20 years ago. I think the damn thing still works! Loved it for years, but not practical to take when I left home.

A new red sports car with a ribbon on it. It meant a lot to me as 6 months previous, I bought one, drove out of the garage, stopped at traffic lights and a lorry smashed into me and it was written off

That’s amazing your mum did good

One year when paramedics went on strike over Xmas my parents didn’t have much cash they managed to buy me a transformer toy I still have it an they don’t realise I love it cos when times were so tough that our Christmas dinner food was given by the public, a woman walked to me with a huge turkey an gave me it telling me have a nice day (I went to picket line with dad as couldn’t stay home alone)

Funny presents that others think silly or small can have the most value

When I was 14 I was well into my goth/metal/punk/alternative 'phase' (still in it!) and my mum bought me a triple box set of HIM albums. She had never really understood my love of that kind of music and had never taken much interest, but she went in my room when I was at at school and looked through my cd collection to see which ones I had already and picked some cds out for me at HMV that she thought I'd like. I also got My Chemical Romance and Paramore, and a book collating Kurt Cobain's notebooks/ journals/sketches

Has to be a second hand scalextric set when I was 10.Dad had been off work with hodgkins for over a year but they managed to scrape the money together and bought me one from a second hand shop. I treasured that set for years and was gutted to find out my twat brother had taken it and sold it a few years ago. That was the day we stopped being brothers.

May sound daft, but other peoples time and generosity.

Being treated as part of their family even though I'm not.

sometimes friends treat you with more love than family!

I got mine today a front and rear dash cam from my parents.

It’s amazing and just what I need for all the driving I do to work most days.

Sorry if some users find that crass

My dad bought me a Yamaha 50cc twist n rip motorbike when I was 3 looking back it was the best thing ever it was so much fun and has given me the most amazing memories... wish I'd not let my mother sell it to a family friend.

Believe me it's not about the cost of it, it's all about the fun times I spent with my Dad,sister and friends time i wish i could have again x

Sega Megadrive at Christmas '92, I was 10 years old and had been staring at the same screenshots of Sonic the Hedgehog in the Argos catalogue all year round, and had being a very helpful and good little boy to convince my parents I deserved one it was the best present ever when I unwrapped it on Christmas morning, I was absolutely beside myself with excitement and gratitude!
