So, what's the best gift you have gotten this holiday season?
(I expect this thread to be pretty dormant until after Christmas morning)
I got a one-month TotalFark subscription today. I thought that was pretty neat.
Don't celebrate any holidays around now so that's probably all I'll get.
Please note: By "best" I mean "most thoughtful" or "coolest" rather than biggest or most expensive. I'm not trying to promote consumerism or conspicuous consumption.
Mine cost $5 and has already paid for itself in entertainment value.
(for example)

In Finland we're usually getting them on Christmas Eve after 6pm. I got one in mail though, and I unwrapped it straight away, and it was a book - a blank book. Handmade. Very tiny. I wonder what I'm supposta do with it. Is it just for decoration or for me to write something in it?

My brother got me the complete Calvin and Hobbes set for Xmas since I got him the complete series of Briscoe County Jr. for his birthday
We always have fun trying to get each other a good gift.

We don't exchange gifts during the Eid... Only older people give us (younger people) money. So far, I got about 200 Egyptian pounds.

We don't observe traditional holidays, but we do like to make year-end tax-deductible charitable donations in eachother's names, typically to local area food banks and soup kitchens.

A very large chunk of cash towards my tuition (a semesters worth)!
I need to make some special thank you cards for my grandparents.

Best so far was a barbedwire style necklace, best because I wanted one for a long time and it was very hard to get.

Well, my uncle got me an air pump... Thanks dude, i guess...
Another one got me "the gift of geese," by which they donated money to support geese for an inpoverished farmer in my name, allowing him to sell the eggs. I guess this is probably the most thoughtful.
But i don't get to open the rest of them for at least 12 hours -_-
