Your Best and Worst Gift This Year!

[Mersadeon]

What was the best and worst gift you recived this year?

My best was an IP annonimizer that gave my internet and address is New York. A great gift when your living in censored Germany.

My worst gift was a box of Dickmens. I hate marshmallow things

Well, I got a new Keyboard, which I really, really like. Best gift is the D&D Starter Set (3e) though - here in Germany, it is extremely hard to find that kinda stuff, since the guys printing it have lost the license. Now I can finally be a DM! Well, for three levels anyway, after that we have to find the right Handbooks. But until then, this will teach them how to play and provide me with lots of examples, so that I can build my own adventures (while throwing in some of the example-adventures).

Worst gift? Well, I wouldn't call it the worst, but it is tghe most humble one: the second part of a book series about strange laws of the world (with some explanation as to why they are this way and some research behind it, because a lot of this kind of stuff on the internet is just bs or unexplained).

Of course, all three gifts came from my parents, so really no worst gift. Kinda curious what my girlfriend will have for me. Probably just a coupon that says "won't bite you for a week". xD

Edit 2: Damn, and now I forgot to comment on the quote I put in!

Ok, just wanted to say that this IP anonimizer sounds absoluteley AWESOME. I WANT ONE.

Best: toss up between new phone and new leather jacket (parents are being generous this year )
worst: not a bad gift, just poorly delivered. A 1950s book i've been looking at. Unfortunatley (and I can't work out why) it was absolutely soaked when i unwrapped it this morning...

 

[Ultress]

Best=The new Mega Ten game for the 3DS.

That's the devil survivor remake right?Is it worth it for someone who bought the original?


OT: Probably The 3rd box set for Revolutionary Girl Utena that came with the signet ring(that I really wasn't supposed to get). Probably gloves,don't get me wrong they're great gloves but more suited for working outside and I prefer the thinner hand gloves for more dexterity

 

[Vampire cat]

Best: Set of kitchen equipment, needed that...

Worst: ... This was a joke present (obviously...), and it clearly was the worst... It's a CD...

 

[Rowan93]

Best: Money, £220 of it is the complete haul

Worst: Most of the actual physical gifts I got are competing for that position. I guess I'll have to go with the 3-d Star Wars t-shirt, because it's almost an awesome gift (a nerdiness-asserting t-shirt! yay!) but then who the hell is going to just happen to have 3d glasses on in order to look at my shirt?

 

[KefkaCultist]

My best is a dual-present of both the FLCL anime on Blu-Ray and the 2 volumes of the Manga. (It may not be the longest anime/manga, but it's the most awesome thing in existence).

Worst present is a hand-made Bears sweater. (I don't wear sweaters, I don't like football, and it's too big).

What exactly does a "worst" gift mean? Least monetary value? Least interesting? Or what?

 

[Lukeje]

Best: a grey ex-army greatcoat. Perfect for when the inevitable snows come.
Worst: a pair of Rolling Stones pyjama bottoms.

The former being something I actually asked for, and the latter being something I don't think I would ever want.

Uh, which original? The first SMT game or the first Devil Survivor? If it's the former, then yeah, but if it's the latter, I haven't played the latter and am only on Day 2. If you have money to spare, I would get it just for Day Eight.

Sorry didn't mean to be confusing and yeah I meant Devil Survivor. When I have the money lying around I'll probably pick it up, Atlus' re releases are usually pretty good

 

[The .50 Caliber Cow]

Best: Chocolate ^^

Worst: A tie from my boss. I work in a parade, not an office. Sure I wear the uniform but that doesn't mean I like ties... Well, it'll be regifted someday.

[neonsword13-ops]

Best: Turtle Beach Headset (These things are great.)

Worst: Chocolate. Like, 23 different versions of chocolate.

 

[Cogwheel]

Well, this isn't for Christmas, but for the season in general...

Worst: None. I generally get nothing. This year is the exception.

Best: Easy, since there was only one present. I only had to do my usual cooking and work on the 23rd. No cleaning. Pretty awesome.

 

[DementedSheep]

Best: e-reader

worst: horrible smelling perfume
I suppose it a nice thought, at least it isn't a pink boob tube and a horrible cheap silver handbag this year. It's from relatives who know very little about me other than that I?m female.

 

[ZeroMachine]

If I had to choose a "worst" gift, I guess I'd have to say the rechargeable battery packs for Wiimotes. Still useful, though.

Best gift, on the other one, was a first for me. A friend of mine wrote me a letter and explained, in detail, how much our friendship meant to her. Actually shed a tear about it. Quite literally NO ONE does that sort of thing for me, whether it's Christmas or otherwise. I've never actually felt an emotional connection from another person to a gift I've gotten. Probably the best gift out of any Christmas.

Now excuse me while I copy and paste this into a message to send to her and embarrass her a bit I think that's a good way to thank her.

 

[vidirg]

Well I liked all of my presents, my favorite was a gaming mouse and my least favorite was uhm probably a hoodie.

 

[Frostbite3789]

1920-1921 Ottawa Senators Jersey and tickets for two to a Sens Game!

Captain America DVD

26-er of Crown Royal

Awesome year.

Damn. You won Christmas.

 

[James Crook]

My favourite gift this year would be Skyrim, of course!
Thanks a lot for today's awesome sale, Steam

Then, I got money, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, some other stuff... I don't really want to rank any gift as worst, it rather seems... dishonest, or condescending to me... but I'd have to say Half-Life 2, courtesy of Steam's contest (I also got Portal 2 from it, yay me), not because I dislike the game - I actually bloody love it - but because Ravenhölm makes me shit my pants.

 

[SmilingKitsune]

Seems pretty ungrateful to me to rank a gift as the "worst you recieved".

 

[bluepanda 492]

Best is a tie between a phone from the early 20's (big wall mounted thing) and a Cavalry sword from the 1800's.

Worst would be an umbrella, nice but not as nice as other things.
