This may sound stodgy, but the best gift I ever received was an automatic bread machine. I have used it once or twice a week ever since I got it years ago. Not many holiday gifts are that useful and appreciated. I love homemade bread! Thanks for the chance to win something nice for my husband (who gave me the ABM).

I would have to say that my lovely goldendoodle left me the most wonderful "present" under the christmas tree! I had given him a meaty bone for christmas eve and he was so very happy that he chewed it all night and he decides that he needs to go to the bathroom. He attempts to wake my fiancee and I up but unfortunately he was unsuccessfull. Much to our surprise Christmas morning, my puppy dog found the closest thing to the outdoors as he could get and leaves his "present" or should i say "presents" all around our christmas tree!

My dad got me a motorized disco ball for Christmas one year when I was 13 or so. His work sponsored a vendor fair in the lobby of the building, and Dad picked out a mirrored disco ball for me. I remember being ecstatic when opening the present--not so much because it was a disco ball, which is super cool to begin with--but because it was the first year that my dad every really bought and wrapped me a gift; he didn't just sign his name to the cards of presents Mom bought.

Several years ago when DH and I were dating, for our first xmas, he took a book that I was writing at the time and had it published thru lulu. I love to read and I though he just got me a book for xmas, but when I realized that it was MY book, I cried for like 20 minutes... I still tear up when I think about it.
