Best: Alienware M15x laptop + Razer Deathadder mouse.
Worst: None.
Seriously, none of my gifts were bad, I loved every last one of them, most of it was cash which amounted to about £250, but everything else happened to be various games and books I wanted, so it was all good as far as I'm concerned.

Best Gift: Space Marine Battle box+ Black Templar upgrade
Worst: and this is a toughy since I love them all, but maybe the button down shirt I got from my cousin. Only because it didn't fit right, but she is giving me the bigger size so...
Nah I love them all

Best gift: 32" Insignia LCDHDTV and $300 in cash
Worst gift: CD
Not just any CD but a burned CD. And not just any burned CD, but a burned CD with Lady Gaga and the Black Eyed Peas on it. And not only that, but a burned CD with Lady Gaga made by my grandmother.

If you couldn't tell, I was just concealing some laughter there.
For me, the best was a brand new iPod classic, tied with the Florence and the Machine CD. I love them both. Worst was the toothpaste.
Best: DS Lite Black and Harry Potter Blu Ray Box Set
Worst: The lack of DS games but I'm getting some tomorrow.

Best Gift: ASUS G 60 Gaming laptop. My parents got it for me because my old crappy normal laptop is now practically worthless, and this one is INFINITELY better. I can play PC games again! Batman Arkham Asylum runs at full speed! I'm able to max out the settings for games now! I doubt it can play Crysis, but I have no interest in playing it.
Bad: Gift cards. A $20 one for Gamestop, a $25 Visa debit card (works everywhere), and a $10 gift card for McDonalds. I don't really like gift cards, because, to me, they say "I care just enough about you to get you something, but not enough to bother finding out what you WANT." It's a cop-out, essentially.
Also, what ticks me off about gift cards is they provide no immediate pleasure (unless you pretend to use them as wild-cards in solitaire...), all they do is provide uncertain future pleasure. I'm 17! I want immediate pleasure, dammit! And I can't even redeem them tomorrow, because going to the store the day after Christmas is like walking through the nine circles of hell...without a scythe.
Well, at least I can redeem them for something I do want, although I don't know of any computer games that run for under $20 that I'll actually PLAY...

Best: Assassin's Creed 2 and Left 4 Dead 2
Worst: My Xbox red ringing when I turned it on to play them.
Double Worst: The same thing happened last year when I got L4D, so now it's a Christmas tradition.
