Favorite & Worst Christmas gift you received as a child? As an adult?

[HaWkFaN94]

We've all received clunkers for gifts at some time. What was your favorite gift you received as a kid? As an adult? If the mood strikes you, feel free to add the worst. Please no Red Ryder references...too predictable.

Best-- Kid- Millenium Falcon Adult- Not much into gifts now, but wife got me a nice Shimano reel one year. No pic.
Worst-- Kid- A snow shovel. No snow blower in our household. Adult- Lava lamp. WTH.

In all honesty, the best gift I got was a Crossman BB Gun. Mainly because I hadn't even thought about it -- I probably assumed it was something my parents wouldn't let me have. When I opened up that package I couldn't believe it!

I have received many wonderful gifts over the years. The best was probably a motocross bicycle that was actually manufactured by Yamaha and had real shocks!

The worst are the cheapo male fragrance gift sets that my in-laws have given me every year for 26 years....
