Open Forum: Best Present Ever

I have been blessed with a lot of close friends through out my life from which I’ve received a lot of great, heart felt presents.  One that sticks out to me is an unusual gift that I really enjoyed.

5 years ago I lived with my brother, his girlfriend, and another girl.   The four of us shared a house together in a city where we were all attending college.  One of the gifts his girlfriend bought me that Christmas was a pair of flannel snowflake pajamas.  The main reason for this gift, I suspect, was that she was tired of seeing me run around the house in my boxer shorts.  I wore those things all seasons for several years till a small hole turned to a very large one and they became un-wearable.

Another part of this gift was a mint linen spray.  It smelled delicious.  I never used it regularly, as I hardly even made my bed regularly, so it lasted about 5 years.  4 moves later, I found myself still packing the almost empty linen spray.  At that point I realized how attached I was to the scent.

So this weeks open forum topic is this: What are the best presents you’ve ever received?
