What a lovely prize! My best Christmas Present was from my Nana last year, she had collected flowers from my wedding bouquet, dried & pressed them and arrange them in a frame for me. So beautiful, thoughtful & an amazing keepsake.
My best Christmas present ever was a book of eyeshadows my Mum bought me when I was around 10 or 11. I became obsessed with her eyeshadows when I was younger and would always play with them (and get very told off!), so when she bought my my own I nearly died of excitement! There my obsession with make up was born and 10 years later I'm still obsessed and training to be a make-up artist :) xxxx
My best Christmas present has to be one I don't even remember receiving, my favourite teddy bear, Mr Snowy. He was given to me for my first Christmas by my Mum's Aunt and he instantly became a favourite. To the point where the only time he was away from me in my entire childhood was when I gave him to my Mum to 'look after her' during an overnight hospital stay. He may longer have any fur or any of his original features but after 23 years he's still going strong (although the fact that he isn't dragged from place to place behind me may have something to do with this). Just goes to show that a present doesn't have to cost a lot to make a massive difference to someone.
my best christmas present so far was my first ever pair of heels at the age of 10! My shoe obsession started then and every Christmas since then the shoes have been getting better and better. Can't wait to see this years pair x
Absolutely brilliant giveaway, thank you. My best Christmas present of all time would have to be my Benetton Barbie - she had lovely crimped hair, bright clothes and very stylish blue hooped earrings. When I opened the present I squealed and scared the cat! I was give the Benetton barbie Boutique to go with it and it was incredible. I gave her to my cousin when I had grown out of Barbies (well thought I had!) and she cut off her all beautiful blonde crimped hair :( Wish I still had her now...
My best Christmas present was definitely my GHD's (which are sadly no longer with us...). I literally can not live without some form of hair straigtners now! Emma xx
The best Christmas present I think I received was a hand knitted scarf that a friend went to the wool shop and sat and learnt to knit so he could make it! It's not about how much money you spend of gifts, it's about the time and thought you put into it. I still wear & treasure it today after all those years! x
My best ever christmas present was a rocking horse who we named Hamish. He was gorgeous teddy brown colour with white patches. As a child my first question to my parents was "How did Santa get him down the chimney?" to which they replied "We let him use the porch this year" :)
My best ever Christmas present, oddly enough, was a roll on deodorant.
My son often comes to chat to me when I'm getting ready in the mornings. So he decided that this was what he would get me for Christmas, since he had seen me using it every day, so I obviously liked it. Six year old boy logic! I laughed like a drain when I unwrapped it - at least it was a present I'd use!
This is such an amazing giveaway *picks chin off the ground!* My all time favourite present was from my parents when i was seven, i came downstairs to fine that Santa Clause had left me my very first desk, as i opened up inside it was jam-packed full of stationary heaven, coloured paper, pens, glitter - you name it. I'll never forget it, and neither will my parents, my mum still shudders at the sight of glitter!
Great giveaway! :D My favourite christmas present is probably my most important. I was a kid (i'm not really sure how old!) and was my very first console- the Game Boy. It was this that started my obsession with video games and led me to be president of the video games society at Uni and I now work in the Video Games industry. I wonder what would have happened if I was given a Barbie instead?
My mum and dad bought me a massive barbir house when i was 8. mum set it up amd was reslly disappointed that the furniture looked plastic and rubbish so she stayed up all night making little duvet, cushions, covers and rugs. she made it the best house ever stacie xoxox
I am not sure wether this is open internationally, but hey, I'll give it a try.
My best Xmas present ever was when I was living in England, was skint and wanted nothing more than to go to Sweden and spend Xmas with my parents and family - I couldn't afford the plane-ticket, but my friends all chipped in and had me on a flight bound to Sweden on Christmas eve. BEST present ever.
My best Christmas present ever was a gold Estee Lauder powder compact in the shape of a cloud with a Sagittarius design on front, decorated with diamonte. My boyfriend at the time had remembered me admiring it in a magazine and bought it for me. This was 10 years ago and I still have it as it's too beautiful to throw away.
(We're no longer together... I had my suspicions that he may have been gay, which might explain the amazing gift buying skills!)
My best Christmas present was a pair of Moon shaped gold earrings that I was given by my now husband, then boyfriend, because of our first date in the moonlight. I thought it was very romantic, possibly the most romantic thing he's ever done, lol, and of course I love them and 14 years later still cherish them very much. ♥
Every year my grandma and granddad used to come for Christmas dinner (they have passed away now) and one year my granddad was sick I must of only been about 10/11 and it devastated me. I guess being a kid you just don't understand but he made the effort with my grandma to get a taxi to ours to spend the day. He must of felt awful but he made all that effort just for me and my brother. Having my family and friends with me means a lot (cheesy I know)
Fabulous give-away, thank you! My favourite present ever, which also happens to be the most expensive, was a pair of black Christian Louboutin stilettos. My husband bought them for me the first Christmas we spent as parents: you can feel a bit mumsy or frumpy in those first months after having a baby, but put on your Louboutins and you will feel like a million dollars again! I still have them and feel fab every time I wear them.
This is possibly the schmaltziest thing I've ever written but my best present was my boyfriend 3 years ago. Although no money was exchanged (I'm not that kind of girl), we met at a Christmas party then I went home to my Mam's elsewhere for a month and we carried on texting/calling over Christmas and New Year then met up in January and have been together ever since. Thank you Santa! :-)
The best Christmas present I’ve ever had was a proposal on Christmas eve, although poor hubby had nearly as tough a job as Santa delivering it! He chose the top of the London Eye at dusk as the location (awww), but not only did he get frisked by security on the way in over the ‘suspicious package’ in his pocket, but when he did get down on bended knee, I demanded to know why he was ducking out of my beautifully posed photo! Never did get my photo, but the rest of the people in the pod must have some great shots as we were the centre of attention for the rest of the ride!
My best ever present was probably my first ever MAC item, which was a Penultimate eyeliner. It definitely sparked an interest and now I have enough MAC to sink a ship! I don't often get 'flashy' or expensive christmas presents, purely because I'm a January birthday (boo hoo!) but I think that forces people to be more thoughtful, which is fine by me!
Well, this is a bit of a soppy one so you'll have to excuse me.
My best Christmas present was having my Mum still with us last Christmas. She was diagnosed with stage 4 skin cancer the June beforehand and was accepted on to a drug trial. We never expected her to be alive for Christmas, but the drug worked for three months and gave us an amazing family Christmas together, for one last time. It was so beautifully unexpected. She even made Christmas dinner she was so well!
The drug stopped working in January and we lost her not long after, but I'll always be able to hold on to the memories we made on that day. I will never have a better Christmas present and will always be thankful for it.
Me best christmas present hasn't actually been yet. Well I think it will be this year. for you see, my daughter will be 3 and half this Christmas and already is caught up on the excitement of it all. I've already been phoning shops up and down the country to get the toys she has been asking for. It was almost handbags at dawn in Glasgows Hamleys when someone tried to get the Barbie I had been searching for. So for me this Christmas, creating all the magic and then coming down and watching Amelias face, that will be the best present so far.
My best Christmas present ever was, I think, the pink and purple Popple that I got when I was 4. I don't really remember recieving it, but according to my mom I was ridiculously thrilled, and I loved it still all through my early childhood. Jess peonyfish.com
I think the run up to Christmas is the best 'present' for me...Any excuse to bake lots of cakes and treats, wear glitter, spend longer in bed, drink copious amounts of hot chocolate and spend more time with the family!
My girlfriend and I limit ourselves to a £10 spend on Christmas pressies, so I always get something really unique and thoughtful. Last year's was homemade gingerbread and a pair of knickers that she'd embroidered my name onto herself. The wonkiness makes them even more special =]
I got my best Christmas present ever three years ago. I was heavily pregnant, therefore I was not able to do the 6-hours drive that separated me from the rest of my family. So my mum and brother came to spend Christmas at our place. Only I was constantly tired and never managed to put up any decorations let alone a tree. We were also trying to save money by buying a lot of the baby's equipment off ebay and we had won an auction for some very expensive piece of furniture which we had to go and pick on Dec. 24th late in the afternoon. I had told my mum I wanted to keep things simple for Christmas eve because she was supposed to be my guest and rest and not spend her time preparing her usual superb (but time-consuming) Christmas meal. The 6km trip back and forth took us 3.5 hours to do given the traffic jams. We came home with an adorable crib but exhausted. I was ready to call it a day and go to bed when I stepped into my living-room which had been transformed into "Christmas wonderland" by my brother (who had set up a tree and decorations) and a terrific meal my mother had been planning to prepare all along. Clearly one of my best Christmases ever.
My best Christmas present was a Diana F+ Camera. I love photography but I feel the digital age has taken all of the magic and suspense away from going to get a film developed and seeing how your pictures have turned out.
What a fantastic giveaway - very generous of you! My best Christmas present was from my boyfriend - a Tea-Tutorial at Browns Hotel, Mayfair. It was an afternoon with their head pastry chef learning how to make scones and other Afternoon Tea treats, followed by a Browns Afternoon Tea. I love baking, and am an afternoon tea fanatic, so it was the perfect present.Plus, the boyfriend now gets extra tasty scones so I think it worked out as a pretty good present for him too!
OH MY GOSH. I wanted to cry when I saw these were sold out because i wanted one for my birthday (30th November) ready for the christmas countdown, this has mde me feel ever so excited! My best christmas gift was last year from a customer at the pharmacy I worked in. A very poorly little boy and his mother who I had been dispensing medicines for baked me a tin of christmas shaped biscuits, dusted with icing sugar. It was wonderful to receive a heartfelt handmade gift from someone as appreciation for the hard work I'd put in to ensure their medicines were delivered on time and the best care was put in place. The best presents in my eyes are handmade and come from the heart.
My best Christmas present ever was my daughter, which was conceived before Christmas 2010:) on Christmas Day I had in the hands of a positive pregnancy test. It was a wonderful gift for me and my husband!!
Last year I opened a very heavy present from my boyfriend to find...two rocks. I think my face probably fell through the floor, until he presented with a gift voucher for a year's worth of hot stone massages, the ideal gift for someone who is always a bit stiff and achy.
Best Christmas gift ever well that would have to be my engagement ring. Yes my now hubby, said that we would exchange 1 small gift on the strike of midnight in Christmas 2000 and nearly 15 years later we are happily married with 4 previous babies.

oops forgot to tell you my best Christmas present... mine was a rocking horse when I was about 5 or 6 I still have it sitting in the corner of my room! I will never get rid of it!
My favourite Christmas present was definitely my iPod. I use it all the time and I'm still in love with the colour! Super happy for Christmas coming up! Lovely giveaway! :D
My mother paid for me and my best friend to spend a weekend in London for my 18th, quite a few years ago. It was also an opportunity to go to a party for deaf people. We had an amazing time - London was strangely empty (it was around New Year's) and we stayed in a really nice hotel. It was an amazing present. We are now down on our luck (think a lot of us are, due to the recession) so our budget isn't what it was, but Christmas is always lovely anyway, because we see our grandparents (this year, grandparent) and eat delicious food. We may be poor now but we've still got each other, and still got our central heating (I loathe being cold!) Merry Christmas to us all! Gordita
Last year, my 12 year old daughter bought me lots of different chocolate goodies, wrapped them all individually and put them in a gift bag with the biggest red velvet bow you've ever seen on it.
She put a lot of thought into choosing my favourite chocolates, and was so proud of her presentation.
My best christmas present was a surprise visit from my half sister who lives in America. Not only did I get to enjoy her company, but she also brought with her the covergirl lashblast mascara I had been dying to try for ages!
My brother made everyones pressies a few years ago. He made Slo Gin, Chilli Oils and lovely jewellery boxes and packaged them up beautifully. I thought it was a really nice idea, nothing cost over £10 and I cherish my jewellery box.
3 years ago I was living in Dublin and was in hospital over Christmas. Was very down in the dumps because a) I was in pain after a major operation and b) because I couldn't go home to my family and friends in England for Christmas as planned.
My friends surprised me by turning up on Christmas day at the hospital and spent the day with me so I wasnt in my own over Christmas.
That has to be the best Christmas present ever. The gift of their time, effort and Company.
The best Christmas gift ever, was the gift's I received last year from my Chocolate Covered Angel (my husband). On December first, I received a pair of shoes, on the second another and every day after, until Christmas morning. It was a beautiful and amazing experience, he did a wonderful job picking out each pair.
My best Christmas present was probably my laptop, Without it I would have never discovered my love of blogging and writing. I’m now starting studying my English A level at college.
My favourite Christmas present is a necklace from my Nana (& Grandad). Sadly I unexpectedly lost my Nana 9 years ago, on December the 4th. Obviously the run up to Christmas that year was pretty shite for my family. She'd always loved this time of year, but we didn't have much of an urge to celebrate - even though it is exactly what she would have wanted! On Christmas day we performed a very teary toast in her honour and exchanged family gifts. Again we weren't really that bothered until we saw we all had gifts from her (& Grandad). She had been so organised that she had bought gifts for us all, they were all wrapped and ready to go before she had died. Bless her! So we were all a bit of an emotional wreck that day. Knowing that necklace was the last gift she bought me is so special. I sadly cannot bring myself to wear it. It still upsets me now, even as I am writing this down. But I am so glad that I have it and will treasure it always. @LeanneOCD x
My best christmas present was 3 years ago when my family all bought me a tiffanys necklace.. I love it so much and wasnt expecting it at all, it was such a great surprise. I wear it everyday and it reminds me of what a fab family i have!!
My Best present was when my father turned up on the doorstep after being away for over a year....with the Airforce. We had no idea he was coming home. it just made our Christmas
my best present ever was a hand made 3 story barbie doll house my uncle lovingly made me one year.
fully carpeted, painted an wallpapered with a beautiful winding tree up the side of the house. complete with perfectly formed little window frames and a roof terrace with a lovely fence round.
I loved my barbies so much and I was so proud to have such a beautiful house to play with them in! :)
My best ever Christmas present isn't really best in the sense that its not a 'good' present. Three years ago my present from my Nan under the tree was...a rape alarm! A big boxy black one that she'd got free from a policeman at the WI. She'd put a little note on it saying 'In case you need this at university' (I go to St Andrews, not the highest crime rates...) I think I love this present so much because of how long I'll remember it, the memory of opening it up and seeing that will stay with me longer than if it had been books or makeup etc.
My favourite Christmas present was received when I was 8 years old. I had seen a pair of red pixie boots in a shoe shop window in our nearest town and I was passionately in love with them. I wanted them so desperately and kept asking for them from Santa. When Christmas morning arrived I rushed to open my presents and no boots. I had some lovely gifts but I was really sad that I didn't have the boots. Later that day we went to my Grandparents' house and were given their presents. Still no boots. We had Christmas dinner and when I went back in to their lounge later I saw a gift under the Christmas tree. It hadn't been there before, I was sure. My parents noticed it too and my Mum asked me to look at who it was for. The gift tag said my name and 'sorry, I found this in the sleigh when I was packing up earlier.' I opened it and it was my boots. I was over the moon. I wore those boots until they fell off my feet and I am fairly sure that they triggered my lifelong love of red shoes. Those boots, and the 'surprise' made Christmas so magical. My brother and I really believed that Santa had been back with the boots while we were eating Christmas Dinner. It was such a happy day for me.
The best christmas present that I have ever recived was last year, my boyfriend brought me the latest SLR camera for my photography course and he saved up all year just to buy it for me in time for christmas! It meant a lot becasue I never asked for anything but he was secretly saving up to get it for me.
My best Christmas present was my worst. When I was 11, my mother gave me a box of manicure Q-tips. They were wrapped so beautifully, and the anticipation as I managed my way through all of the pretty paper... ah. When I finally saw the Q-tips, I sort of sat agape, looking back and forth at the Q-tips and my brother who was unwrapping all of these very high-tech and exiciting things. I was so put out, what a brat! In any event, I'd be thrilled to get them now and my mother and I laugh about it to this day.
My best christmas present was a day trip to Paris last december with my girlfriends. We stayed for one night and were frantically trying to see as many sights as possible in one day - I think I had about 2hrs sleep the whole time but it was such an awesome trip.
My best present ever was my son. He was born last December and after a harrowing traumatic birth and a week in neonatal he was home just in time for christmas! <3
My best Christmas present ever was one that I got to look after for 3 weeks for a family friend. It came in the form of a puppy. Our friends wanted to surprise their kids with a puppy for Christmas, and gave it to us to look after until December 25th. So we took care of it with two dogs and got to play with it during its cute puppy stage, and then brought it to the kids on Christmas. Although it was sad to see it go, it was worth it to see their reaction!
My best gift was actually from the family to my mum - my dad bought a new car (it was a planned purchase!) and us kids filled it with tinsel and decorations. To give it do her we wrapped the keys in a million layers of paper and put it in a big box.
We still have a hilarious video of my mum - a very little quiet lady - digging through all the wraping as we watch. She becomes more and more nervous as she goes, and then my dad opens the lounge curtains to reveal the car just as she opens the keys. Unfortunately the build up was too much and she starts swearing her head off in shock!!! We still bring up her swearing whenever we give her gifts, and she blushes.
What an amazing giveaway! Believe it or not the best Christmas present I remember receiving was this great big ugly orange blow dryer that I wanted to badly as a teenager. I had wanted it so badly and for so long that when I received it I was utterly gleeful!! I have since received gifts of greater value, but none that have been as eagerly anticipated!
My best christmas present ever was in 1987 when I received the My Little Pony Show Stable. My mum still has the picture of my amazed face when I opened it (although I wish she'd stop showing everybody - it's embarassing!) The show stable sat perfectly in my bedroom with My Little Pony wallpaper, My Little Pony curtains, My Little Pony bed cover...well...you get the picture :oD
best christmas present definitely came last year when my boyfriend gifted me a trip home to see my family, which I wasn't going to be able to afford otherwise!
Oh my god, ME! Pick ME! *Hyperventilates* Best Christmas present EVER was my Sylvanian Family Bakery house complete with mini doughnuts and cakes. And that was only last year. (JOKE.) I'd like to say that it was something really profound and tear-jerking, but no - Sylvanian Bakery. It rocked.
Ridiculously soppy as it sounds, my little sister would have to have been my best present - she arrived just before and it was like having the best doll/toy ever for my four year old self haha x
My best Christmas present ever is one I receive each year; An amazing day with friends, family, good food and lots of wine. I lost my mom to cancer in 2007 which has made me love spending time with my favourite people even more.
My best ever Christmas present was a bike. I called her Crytal and she was white and speckled with coloured dots, my mum told me it was magic unicorn dust. She had a big pink basket and pink streamers hanging from the handlebars.
I can always remember that my sister put a dead mole in the basket that she found in the garden and I cried for hours.
Omg I want this so bad! ><! I love beauty products, so the best xmas present ever was the Limited edition Paul & Joe lip treatment and blotting paper sets! The design is Alice in Wonderland and they're really adorable! :)
best xmas present for me was being taken to sloane square to sit on a bench and watch the world go by, I love the lights there, I mentioned this to a boyfriend. He took me and served us.. macdonalds!! Loved it!
My best Christmas present ever was a trampoline! My Dad set it up for my sister and I and I can remember the huge grin in his face as he watched us play.
My Dad died very suddenly last Christmas Day, so it's an even more special memory now :) I'm expecting what would have been his first grand-daughter on 27th December, so maybe she'll become my 'best Christmas present ever' after that!
It's my little girl who was born exactly 2 weeks before Christmas 5 years ago, well, almost 5 years ago. And she is really excited at turning 5 soon! :)
my best christmas resent was a recnt one, last year. i got a plane ticket to Uganda where i stayed for 2 months volunteer teaching in a primary school. it was the single best experience of my life, and i couldn't have gone without that ticket!!
Hi, When I saw your question, I couldn't help but single out one specific christmas memory. I was about eleven and received a very old typing machine from a person that didn't have lots of means. She knew I wanted to write for a living and had found it at a flea market. Even the fancy stuff I received that day couldn't compare to it. I still have it and even though it's difficult to find ribbon, i still write a christmas letter on it every year for the person who gave it to me .
My best Christmas present is actually this year as I've picked it myself - some stunning ankle boots from Dune, bought for me by my lovely other half! x
My favourite christmas present was when I was 5 my parents had saved up all year to take me to disneyworld in florida over christmas, I still remember it vividly.
My best Christmas present ever was in 1965 and it was a Sindy doll, bought by my brother who was 12yrs old from his carol singing money. My parents would not have bought me such a modern doll, hell she even had red lipstick on, it was love at first sight. Thick brown bobbed hair, stripey jumper and jeans - but best of all was her face, make-upped with paint on lashes and a complexion that could only have come from pan-stick, thus Sindy started my life long love of make up.
As my family is Jewish I hope my favorite Hanukkah gift is an acceptable entry: The year I was ten and my sister was eight my parents gave us the most wonderful Playmobil castle. I remember every detail from the filigree gates to the secret compartment in the attic but even better than the toy itself are the memories of the hours I spent putting it together with my sister! -S
The best christmas present that I have ever received was my Chanel Hydramax Active serum!! It was such a luxurious present that my cousin bought for me because she knew that I had been eyeing for ages!!!
My best Christmas present was last year....when I discovered a stocking next to the fireplace on xmas morning! I felt just like I did on Christmas morning when I was a child.
My lovely boyfriend had filled a stocking full of totally random items, (including a bag of crystallized ginger? As you do!), but it was so fun unwrapping all the little surprises he had picked out for me. Bless him. I was so heavily pregnant too, so all my other presents were 'for the baby'. It was so nice to have something for me!
My best christmas present was when i was a teenager. My dad got me an estee lauder set.It came with an empyt palette and 3 eyeshadow palletes to put in it.And three lipsticks.Wish i still had it as i never used it all up.
My best Christmas present happened last year, and is a memory rather than an actual physical gift. My sister got married a few days before christmas, and a fresh snowfall, combined with a magical setting made it the happiest day of my life, as well as hers. All I could ask for is her happiness, so for her special day to be at this enchanting time of year was perfect, and the memories will stay with me forever.
the best present i ever had was when i was 12 and i woke up on christmas morning to see my dad sitting downstairs with my mum after a 6 month deployment with the navy in the middle east. He'd actually got back in the country late on christmas eve night and travelled most of the night to be home in time for us waking up. it was magical and ill never forget it <3 my email is sugarsweet_770@hotmail.co.uk my gfc is SarahBee and my blog thenailpolishaholic Sarah XXX
I don't celebrate Christmas, but my best Hanukkah present was a set of Beatles figurines from my then room mate. It was one of the most thoughtful presents I've ever received, since I'm a massive Beatles fan, and they still have pride of place on my bookshelf in my room at home.
No way! Me and my sister were practically drooling over this in Selfridges the other day! Hmmm... my best ever Christmas present was probably my Anastasia barbie which I wanted so badly and then proceeded to act out the entire film with. I still have (and love) it to this day.
My best holiday gift was a thin gold necklace with a single pearl on it. It didn't matter that it was 'costume jewellery' - it's so special because it's elegant and i realised that the person who bought it for me knew me a lot better than I thought :)
The best present I ever received for Christmas was a collaborative effort by my parents - my dad built me a dollhouse and my mum made all the dolls out of porcelain, complete with hair and their own hand-sewn outfits. The furniture for the house came from Singapore when we visited on holiday. The house and dolls have been kept through several overseas moves and I still treasure them because of the love and dedication with which they were made.
My best Christmas present EVER was last year, my gorgeous boy Cj proposed! He tied a bauble onto Luke's (our puppy) collar and sent him running into the bedroom, Cj had written 'Mummy, will you marry Daddy?' on the little gold bauble which Luke was bouncing all over the bed with. Cj was then waiting by the bedroom door with my stunningly gorgeous ring. It was THE most amazing Christmas present and will forever be my favourite christmas present!! We get married in August 2012. xxx
I don't know if I have a best Christmas present. I can never really remember what I got, only the day itself and all the ridiculous things me and my family get up to... Do hilarious arguments over Pictionary count?! Turns out my boyfriend has no idea what a hippo looks like... PS: It did NOT look anything like a hippo! xx
My favourtie christmas present i have recieved was from Santa aged 4 and three quarters. They were magic bath crayons, unfortuantly my mum had left me alone with my brother in the bathroom with said crayons and upon her return we had redecorated the whole bathroom as well as ourselves. Saying she wasn't impressed would be an understatement but there is still a wee little blue splog on one of the tiles which won't come off which always makes me smile seeing it. Thanks Santa! x
My best christmas present has got to be my Nikon D5000. Thanks to this camera I can take some brilliant pictures not only for my blog but also pictures of places I travel to. That way everything i see, all the greatest memories are captured and can be kept forever.
My best Christmas present ever was receiving a black Balenciaga City bag from my parents. I've had it for almost 3 years and I'm still so in love with it! dearjoy[at]live.co.uk
My best ever Christmas present was a plane ticket to Toronto to see my best friends, who I had been missing like crazy. Niagara Falls in the snow is very special!
My best christmas gift ever was last christmas, my boyfriend gave me a silver tiffanys necklace. It was really special, because I didnt have a very nice childhood and it was the very first time I actually got excited about a gift, lol at 21! Btw, love the blog
My best Christmas present... Hm, that's a hard one. It was probably my Yves Saint Laurent Parisienne perfume. I remember seeing the advert and the bottle in my local department store and getting really excited because it was like a combination of all my favourite things - the advert had Paris in the background (my favourite place), Kate Moss as the model (THE BEST MODEL EVER OMG), the perfume smelt like damask roses and violets (my favourite scents) and the bottle has a pink tint to it (my favourite colour). Therefore, when my mum gave me this perfume, it was actually the best gift ever. Every time I wear it, I feel like a Parisian supermodel! :)
The best ever present i received was from my lovely daughter,she was seven at the time.It was a can of coca-cola & paper hankerchiefs she had wrapped them & was so proud to hand them over
My best Christmas present was a doll house my grandad made :) I got lots of furniture to put in it and it was plain wood so I got to decorate it myself! (Obviously the decoration was a bit rubbish but I was only about 7!). However, if I get Skyrim this year that might be my new best Christmas present ever :)
My best ever xmas pressie was my Son who was born on the 18th December 1995, so i had an early treat and i always write happy bithday on his 18 calender door.

Amazing giveaway!
My best Christmas present would have to be my Chocolate Labrador, Coco. My parents bought her for me 5 years ago and I could not love her more
What a lovely prize! My best Christmas Present was from my Nana last year, she had collected flowers from my wedding bouquet, dried & pressed them and arrange them in a frame for me. So beautiful, thoughtful & an amazing keepsake.
My best Christmas present ever was a book of eyeshadows my Mum bought me when I was around 10 or 11. I became obsessed with her eyeshadows when I was younger and would always play with them (and get very told off!), so when she bought my my own I nearly died of excitement! There my obsession with make up was born and 10 years later I'm still obsessed and training to be a make-up artist :) xxxx
My best Christmas present has to be one I don't even remember receiving, my favourite teddy bear, Mr Snowy. He was given to me for my first Christmas by my Mum's Aunt and he instantly became a favourite. To the point where the only time he was away from me in my entire childhood was when I gave him to my Mum to 'look after her' during an overnight hospital stay. He may longer have any fur or any of his original features but after 23 years he's still going strong (although the fact that he isn't dragged from place to place behind me may have something to do with this). Just goes to show that a present doesn't have to cost a lot to make a massive difference to someone.

my best christmas present so far was my first ever pair of heels at the age of 10! My shoe obsession started then and every Christmas since then the shoes have been getting better and better. Can't wait to see this years pair x
Absolutely brilliant giveaway, thank you.
My best Christmas present of all time would have to be my Benetton Barbie - she had lovely crimped hair, bright clothes and very stylish blue hooped earrings. When I opened the present I squealed and scared the cat! I was give the Benetton barbie Boutique to go with it and it was incredible. I gave her to my cousin when I had grown out of Barbies (well thought I had!) and she cut off her all beautiful blonde crimped hair :( Wish I still had her now...
My best Christmas present was definitely my GHD's (which are sadly no longer with us...). I literally can not live without some form of hair straigtners now!

The best Christmas present I think I received was a hand knitted scarf that a friend went to the wool shop and sat and learnt to knit so he could make it! It's not about how much money you spend of gifts, it's about the time and thought you put into it. I still wear & treasure it today after all those years! x
My best ever christmas present was a rocking horse who we named Hamish. He was gorgeous teddy brown colour with white patches. As a child my first question to my parents was "How did Santa get him down the chimney?" to which they replied "We let him use the porch this year" :)

A barbie styling head I got when I was about 8 :) had it for years and loved it!!

OMG I would love to win this.
My best ever Christmas present, oddly enough, was a roll on deodorant.
My son often comes to chat to me when I'm getting ready in the mornings. So he decided that this was what he would get me for Christmas, since he had seen me using it every day, so I obviously liked it. Six year old boy logic! I laughed like a drain when I unwrapped it - at least it was a present I'd use!
This is such an amazing giveaway *picks chin off the ground!* My all time favourite present was from my parents when i was seven, i came downstairs to fine that Santa Clause had left me my very first desk, as i opened up inside it was jam-packed full of stationary heaven, coloured paper, pens, glitter - you name it. I'll never forget it, and neither will my parents, my mum still shudders at the sight of glitter!

Great giveaway! :D My favourite christmas present is probably my most important. I was a kid (i'm not really sure how old!) and was my very first console- the Game Boy. It was this that started my obsession with video games and led me to be president of the video games society at Uni and I now work in the Video Games industry. I wonder what would have happened if I was given a Barbie instead?

My mum and dad bought me a massive barbir house when i was 8. mum set it up amd was reslly disappointed that the furniture looked plastic and rubbish so she stayed up all night making little duvet, cushions, covers and rugs. she made it the best house ever

I am not sure wether this is open internationally, but hey, I'll give it a try.
My best Xmas present ever was when I was living in England, was skint and wanted nothing more than to go to Sweden and spend Xmas with my parents and family - I couldn't afford the plane-ticket, but my friends all chipped in and had me on a flight bound to Sweden on Christmas eve. BEST present ever.
My best Christmas present ever was a gold Estee Lauder powder compact in the shape of a cloud with a Sagittarius design on front, decorated with diamonte. My boyfriend at the time had remembered me admiring it in a magazine and bought it for me. This was 10 years ago and I still have it as it's too beautiful to throw away.
(We're no longer together... I had my suspicions that he may have been gay, which might explain the amazing gift buying skills!)

My best present ever would have to be the Chanel 2.55 classic black quilted handbag that my brother got me.
My best Christmas present was a pair of Moon shaped gold earrings that I was given by my now husband, then boyfriend, because of our first date in the moonlight. I thought it was very romantic, possibly the most romantic thing he's ever done, lol, and of course I love them and 14 years later still cherish them very much. ♥
Every year my grandma and granddad used to come for Christmas dinner (they have passed away now) and one year my granddad was sick I must of only been about 10/11 and it devastated me. I guess being a kid you just don't understand but he made the effort with my grandma to get a taxi to ours to spend the day. He must of felt awful but he made all that effort just for me and my brother. Having my family and friends with me means a lot (cheesy I know)
Fabulous give-away, thank you!
My favourite present ever, which also happens to be the most expensive, was a pair of black Christian Louboutin stilettos. My husband bought them for me the first Christmas we spent as parents: you can feel a bit mumsy or frumpy in those first months after having a baby, but put on your Louboutins and you will feel like a million dollars again! I still have them and feel fab every time I wear them.
This is possibly the schmaltziest thing I've ever written but my best present was my boyfriend 3 years ago. Although no money was exchanged (I'm not that kind of girl), we met at a Christmas party then I went home to my Mam's elsewhere for a month and we carried on texting/calling over Christmas and New Year then met up in January and have been together ever since. Thank you Santa! :-)
The best Christmas present I’ve ever had was a proposal on Christmas eve, although poor hubby had nearly as tough a job as Santa delivering it!
He chose the top of the London Eye at dusk as the location (awww), but not only did he get frisked by security on the way in over the ‘suspicious package’ in his pocket, but when he did get down on bended knee, I demanded to know why he was ducking out of my beautifully posed photo!
Never did get my photo, but the rest of the people in the pod must have some great shots as we were the centre of attention for the rest of the ride!
My best ever present was probably my first ever MAC item, which was a Penultimate eyeliner. It definitely sparked an interest and now I have enough MAC to sink a ship!
I don't often get 'flashy' or expensive christmas presents, purely because I'm a January birthday (boo hoo!) but I think that forces people to be more thoughtful, which is fine by me!
Well, this is a bit of a soppy one so you'll have to excuse me.
My best Christmas present was having my Mum still with us last Christmas. She was diagnosed with stage 4 skin cancer the June beforehand and was accepted on to a drug trial. We never expected her to be alive for Christmas, but the drug worked for three months and gave us an amazing family Christmas together, for one last time. It was so beautifully unexpected. She even made Christmas dinner she was so well!
The drug stopped working in January and we lost her not long after, but I'll always be able to hold on to the memories we made on that day. I will never have a better Christmas present and will always be thankful for it.
Me best christmas present hasn't actually been yet. Well I think it will be this year. for you see, my daughter will be 3 and half this Christmas and already is caught up on the excitement of it all. I've already been phoning shops up and down the country to get the toys she has been asking for. It was almost handbags at dawn in Glasgows Hamleys when someone tried to get the Barbie I had been searching for.
So for me this Christmas, creating all the magic and then coming down and watching Amelias face, that will be the best present so far.
My best Christmas present ever was, I think, the pink and purple Popple that I got when I was 4. I don't really remember recieving it, but according to my mom I was ridiculously thrilled, and I loved it still all through my early childhood.

I think the run up to Christmas is the best 'present' for me...Any excuse to bake lots of cakes and treats, wear glitter, spend longer in bed, drink copious amounts of hot chocolate and spend more time with the family!
My girlfriend and I limit ourselves to a £10 spend on Christmas pressies, so I always get something really unique and thoughtful. Last year's was homemade gingerbread and a pair of knickers that she'd embroidered my name onto herself. The wonkiness makes them even more special =]
Is this international?
My best Xmas gift was the time I spent with people I love and the holiday-y spirit in the air. Thanks
I got my best Christmas present ever three years ago.
I was heavily pregnant, therefore I was not able to do the 6-hours drive that separated me from the rest of my family. So my mum and brother came to spend Christmas at our place. Only I was constantly tired and never managed to put up any decorations let alone a tree.
We were also trying to save money by buying a lot of the baby's equipment off ebay and we had won an auction for some very expensive piece of furniture which we had to go and pick on Dec. 24th late in the afternoon.
I had told my mum I wanted to keep things simple for Christmas eve because she was supposed to be my guest and rest and not spend her time preparing her usual superb (but time-consuming) Christmas meal.
The 6km trip back and forth took us 3.5 hours to do given the traffic jams.
We came home with an adorable crib but exhausted. I was ready to call it a day and go to bed when I stepped into my living-room which had been transformed into "Christmas wonderland" by my brother (who had set up a tree and decorations) and a terrific meal my mother had been planning to prepare all along.
Clearly one of my best Christmases ever.
Amazing giveaway!
My best Christmas present was a Diana F+ Camera. I love photography but I feel the digital age has taken all of the magic and suspense away from going to get a film developed and seeing how your pictures have turned out.
What a fantastic giveaway - very generous of you!
My best Christmas present was from my boyfriend - a Tea-Tutorial at Browns Hotel, Mayfair. It was an afternoon with their head pastry chef learning how to make scones and other Afternoon Tea treats, followed by a Browns Afternoon Tea. I love baking, and am an afternoon tea fanatic, so it was the perfect present.Plus, the boyfriend now gets extra tasty scones so I think it worked out as a pretty good present for him too!
OH MY GOSH. I wanted to cry when I saw these were sold out because i wanted one for my birthday (30th November) ready for the christmas countdown, this has mde me feel ever so excited!
My best christmas gift was last year from a customer at the pharmacy I worked in. A very poorly little boy and his mother who I had been dispensing medicines for baked me a tin of christmas shaped biscuits, dusted with icing sugar. It was wonderful to receive a heartfelt handmade gift from someone as appreciation for the hard work I'd put in to ensure their medicines were delivered on time and the best care was put in place.
The best presents in my eyes are handmade and come from the heart.
My best Christmas present ever was my daughter, which was conceived before Christmas 2010:) on Christmas Day I had in the hands of a positive pregnancy test. It was a wonderful gift for me and my husband!!
Last year I opened a very heavy present from my boyfriend to find...two rocks. I think my face probably fell through the floor, until he presented with a gift voucher for a year's worth of hot stone massages, the ideal gift for someone who is always a bit stiff and achy.
Best Christmas gift ever well that would have to be my engagement ring. Yes my now hubby, said that we would exchange 1 small gift on the strike of midnight in Christmas 2000 and nearly 15 years later we are happily married with 4 previous babies.

oops forgot to tell you my best Christmas present... mine was a rocking horse when I was about 5 or 6 I still have it sitting in the corner of my room! I will never get rid of it!
My best EVER present was having my daughter and then my then boyfriend proposing!
I have never been so shocked and amazed in my life! Best pressie ever and will never forget the day - always look back and smile :)
Amzing prize! xx
My favourite Christmas present was definitely my iPod. I use it all the time and I'm still in love with the colour! Super happy for Christmas coming up! Lovely giveaway! :D

My mother paid for me and my best friend to spend a weekend in London for my 18th, quite a few years ago. It was also an opportunity to go to a party for deaf people. We had an amazing time - London was strangely empty (it was around New Year's) and we stayed in a really nice hotel. It was an amazing present. We are now down on our luck (think a lot of us are, due to the recession) so our budget isn't what it was, but Christmas is always lovely anyway, because we see our grandparents (this year, grandparent) and eat delicious food. We may be poor now but we've still got each other, and still got our central heating (I loathe being cold!)
Merry Christmas to us all!

Last year, my 12 year old daughter bought me lots of different chocolate goodies, wrapped them all individually and put them in a gift bag with the biggest red velvet bow you've ever seen on it.
She put a lot of thought into choosing my favourite chocolates, and was so proud of her presentation.
My best christmas present was a surprise visit from my half sister who lives in America. Not only did I get to enjoy her company, but she also brought with her the covergirl lashblast mascara I had been dying to try for ages!

My brother made everyones pressies a few years ago. He made Slo Gin, Chilli Oils and lovely jewellery boxes and packaged them up beautifully. I thought it was a really nice idea, nothing cost over £10 and I cherish my jewellery box.
3 years ago I was living in Dublin and was in hospital over Christmas. Was very down in the dumps because a) I was in pain after a major operation and b) because I couldn't go home to my family and friends in England for Christmas as planned.
My friends surprised me by turning up on Christmas day at the hospital and spent the day with me so I wasnt in my own over Christmas.
That has to be the best Christmas present ever. The gift of their time, effort and Company.
The best Christmas gift ever, was the gift's I received last year from my Chocolate Covered Angel (my husband). On December first, I received a pair of shoes, on the second another and every day after, until Christmas morning. It was a beautiful and amazing experience, he did a wonderful job picking out each pair.

My best Christmas present was probably my laptop,
Without it I would have never discovered my love of blogging and writing. I’m now starting studying my English A level at college.
My favourite Christmas present is a necklace from my Nana (& Grandad). Sadly I unexpectedly lost my Nana 9 years ago, on December the 4th. Obviously the run up to Christmas that year was pretty shite for my family. She'd always loved this time of year, but we didn't have much of an urge to celebrate - even though it is exactly what she would have wanted! On Christmas day we performed a very teary toast in her honour and exchanged family gifts. Again we weren't really that bothered until we saw we all had gifts from her (& Grandad). She had been so organised that she had bought gifts for us all, they were all wrapped and ready to go before she had died. Bless her! So we were all a bit of an emotional wreck that day. Knowing that necklace was the last gift she bought me is so special. I sadly cannot bring myself to wear it. It still upsets me now, even as I am writing this down. But I am so glad that I have it and will treasure it always. @LeanneOCD x
My best christmas present was 3 years ago when my family all bought me a tiffanys necklace.. I love it so much and wasnt expecting it at all, it was such a great surprise. I wear it everyday and it reminds me of what a fab family i have!!
My Best present was when my father turned up on the doorstep after being away for over a year....with the Airforce.
We had no idea he was coming home.
it just made our Christmas

my best present ever was a hand made 3 story barbie doll house my uncle lovingly made me one year.
fully carpeted, painted an wallpapered with a beautiful winding tree up the side of the house. complete with perfectly formed little window frames and a roof terrace with a lovely fence round.
I loved my barbies so much and I was so proud to have such a beautiful house to play with them in! :)
My best ever Christmas present isn't really best in the sense that its not a 'good' present. Three years ago my present from my Nan under the tree was...a rape alarm! A big boxy black one that she'd got free from a policeman at the WI. She'd put a little note on it saying 'In case you need this at university' (I go to St Andrews, not the highest crime rates...) I think I love this present so much because of how long I'll remember it, the memory of opening it up and seeing that will stay with me longer than if it had been books or makeup etc.

My favourite Christmas present was received when I was 8 years old. I had seen a pair of red pixie boots in a shoe shop window in our nearest town and I was passionately in love with them. I wanted them so desperately and kept asking for them from Santa. When Christmas morning arrived I rushed to open my presents and no boots. I had some lovely gifts but I was really sad that I didn't have the boots. Later that day we went to my Grandparents' house and were given their presents. Still no boots. We had Christmas dinner and when I went back in to their lounge later I saw a gift under the Christmas tree. It hadn't been there before, I was sure. My parents noticed it too and my Mum asked me to look at who it was for. The gift tag said my name and 'sorry, I found this in the sleigh when I was packing up earlier.' I opened it and it was my boots. I was over the moon. I wore those boots until they fell off my feet and I am fairly sure that they triggered my lifelong love of red shoes. Those boots, and the 'surprise' made Christmas so magical. My brother and I really believed that Santa had been back with the boots while we were eating Christmas Dinner. It was such a happy day for me.
The best christmas present that I have ever recived was last year, my boyfriend brought me the latest SLR camera for my photography course and he saved up all year just to buy it for me in time for christmas! It meant a lot becasue I never asked for anything but he was secretly saving up to get it for me.

My best Christmas present was my worst. When I was 11, my mother gave me a box of manicure Q-tips. They were wrapped so beautifully, and the anticipation as I managed my way through all of the pretty paper... ah. When I finally saw the Q-tips, I sort of sat agape, looking back and forth at the Q-tips and my brother who was unwrapping all of these very high-tech and exiciting things. I was so put out, what a brat! In any event, I'd be thrilled to get them now and my mother and I laugh about it to this day.
the best Christmas present that ive had is my red mini cooper from my parents! ive been wanting it for gaes!

My best christmas present was a day trip to Paris last december with my girlfriends. We stayed for one night and were frantically trying to see as many sights as possible in one day - I think I had about 2hrs sleep the whole time but it was such an awesome trip.
My best present ever was my son. He was born last December and after a harrowing traumatic birth and a week in neonatal he was home just in time for christmas! <3
My best Christmas present ever was one that I got to look after for 3 weeks for a family friend. It came in the form of a puppy. Our friends wanted to surprise their kids with a puppy for Christmas, and gave it to us to look after until December 25th. So we took care of it with two dogs and got to play with it during its cute puppy stage, and then brought it to the kids on Christmas. Although it was sad to see it go, it was worth it to see their reaction!

Oh man, *swooooon* for this prize!
My best gift was actually from the family to my mum - my dad bought a new car (it was a planned purchase!) and us kids filled it with tinsel and decorations. To give it do her we wrapped the keys in a million layers of paper and put it in a big box.
We still have a hilarious video of my mum - a very little quiet lady - digging through all the wraping as we watch. She becomes more and more nervous as she goes, and then my dad opens the lounge curtains to reveal the car just as she opens the keys. Unfortunately the build up was too much and she starts swearing her head off in shock!!! We still bring up her swearing whenever we give her gifts, and she blushes.
It made that Christmas a lot of fun :)
What an amazing giveaway! Believe it or not the best Christmas present I remember receiving was this great big ugly orange blow dryer that I wanted to badly as a teenager. I had wanted it so badly and for so long that when I received it I was utterly gleeful!! I have since received gifts of greater value, but none that have been as eagerly anticipated!

My best christmas present ever was in 1987 when I received the My Little Pony Show Stable. My mum still has the picture of my amazed face when I opened it (although I wish she'd stop showing everybody - it's embarassing!)
The show stable sat perfectly in my bedroom with My Little Pony wallpaper, My Little Pony curtains, My Little Pony bed cover...well...you get the picture :oD
best christmas present definitely came last year when my boyfriend gifted me a trip home to see my family, which I wasn't going to be able to afford otherwise!

Best Christmas present EVER was my Sylvanian Family Bakery house complete with mini doughnuts and cakes. And that was only last year. (JOKE.) I'd like to say that it was something really profound and tear-jerking, but no - Sylvanian Bakery. It rocked.
My best Christmas was a giant winnie bear from a friend :)

Ridiculously soppy as it sounds, my little sister would have to have been my best present - she arrived just before and it was like having the best doll/toy ever for my four year old self haha x
My best Christmas present ever is one I receive each year; An amazing day with friends, family, good food and lots of wine. I lost my mom to cancer in 2007 which has made me love spending time with my favourite people even more.
Lovely giveaway!
My best ever Christmas present was a bike. I called her Crytal and she was white and speckled with coloured dots, my mum told me it was magic unicorn dust. She had a big pink basket and pink streamers hanging from the handlebars.
I can always remember that my sister put a dead mole in the basket that she found in the garden and I cried for hours.
:-) heeee!
Jojo x
Omg I want this so bad! ><!
I love beauty products, so the best xmas present ever was the Limited edition Paul & Joe lip treatment and blotting paper sets! The design is Alice in Wonderland and they're really adorable! :)
best xmas present for me was being taken to sloane square to sit on a bench and watch the world go by, I love the lights there, I mentioned this to a boyfriend. He took me and served us.. macdonalds!! Loved it!
My best Christmas present ever was a trampoline! My Dad set it up for my sister and I and I can remember the huge grin in his face as he watched us play.
My Dad died very suddenly last Christmas Day, so it's an even more special memory now :) I'm expecting what would have been his first grand-daughter on 27th December, so maybe she'll become my 'best Christmas present ever' after that!
My best Christmas gift??
It's my little girl who was born exactly 2 weeks before Christmas 5 years ago, well, almost 5 years ago. And she is really excited at turning 5 soon! :)
what a great givaway!
my best christmas resent was a recnt one, last year. i got a plane ticket to Uganda where i stayed for 2 months volunteer teaching in a primary school. it was the single best experience of my life, and i couldn't have gone without that ticket!!
Hi,
When I saw your question, I couldn't help but single out one specific christmas memory. I was about eleven and received a very old typing machine from a person that didn't have lots of means. She knew I wanted to write for a living and had found it at a flea market. Even the fancy stuff I received that day couldn't compare to it. I still have it and even though it's difficult to find ribbon, i still write a christmas letter on it every year for the person who gave it to me .
This is an amazing giveaway!
My best Christmas present is actually this year as I've picked it myself - some stunning ankle boots from Dune, bought for me by my lovely other half! x
My favourite christmas present was when I was 5 my parents had saved up all year to take me to disneyworld in florida over christmas, I still remember it vividly.

My best Christmas present ever was in 1965 and it was a Sindy doll, bought by my brother who was 12yrs old from his carol singing money. My parents would not have bought me such a modern doll, hell she even had red lipstick on, it was love at first sight. Thick brown bobbed hair, stripey jumper and jeans - but best of all was her face, make-upped with paint on lashes and a complexion that could only have come from pan-stick, thus Sindy started my life long love of make up.
As my family is Jewish I hope my favorite Hanukkah gift is an acceptable entry: The year I was ten and my sister was eight my parents gave us the most wonderful Playmobil castle. I remember every detail from the filigree gates to the secret compartment in the attic but even better than the toy itself are the memories of the hours I spent putting it together with my sister!
-S
The best christmas present that I have ever received was my Chanel Hydramax Active serum!! It was such a luxurious present that my cousin bought for me because she knew that I had been eyeing for ages!!!
Thanks for the giveaway!
My best Christmas present was last year....when I discovered a stocking next to the fireplace on xmas morning! I felt just like I did on Christmas morning when I was a child.
My lovely boyfriend had filled a stocking full of totally random items, (including a bag of crystallized ginger? As you do!), but it was so fun unwrapping all the little surprises he had picked out for me. Bless him. I was so heavily pregnant too, so all my other presents were 'for the baby'. It was so nice to have something for me!

My best christmas present was when i was a teenager. My dad got me an estee lauder set.It came with an empyt palette and 3 eyeshadow palletes to put in it.And three lipsticks.Wish i still had it as i never used it all up.
My best Christmas present happened last year, and is a memory rather than an actual physical gift. My sister got married a few days before christmas, and a fresh snowfall, combined with a magical setting made it the happiest day of my life, as well as hers. All I could ask for is her happiness, so for her special day to be at this enchanting time of year was perfect, and the memories will stay with me forever.
the best present i ever had was when i was 12 and i woke up on christmas morning to see my dad sitting downstairs with my mum after a 6 month deployment with the navy in the middle east. He'd actually got back in the country late on christmas eve night and travelled most of the night to be home in time for us waking up. it was magical and ill never forget it <3

I don't celebrate Christmas, but my best Hanukkah present was a set of Beatles figurines from my then room mate. It was one of the most thoughtful presents I've ever received, since I'm a massive Beatles fan, and they still have pride of place on my bookshelf in my room at home.
No way! Me and my sister were practically drooling over this in Selfridges the other day! Hmmm... my best ever Christmas present was probably my Anastasia barbie which I wanted so badly and then proceeded to act out the entire film with. I still have (and love) it to this day.
My best holiday gift was a thin gold necklace with a single pearl on it. It didn't matter that it was 'costume jewellery' - it's so special because it's elegant and i realised that the person who bought it for me knew me a lot better than I thought :)
The best present I ever received for Christmas was a collaborative effort by my parents - my dad built me a dollhouse and my mum made all the dolls out of porcelain, complete with hair and their own hand-sewn outfits. The furniture for the house came from Singapore when we visited on holiday. The house and dolls have been kept through several overseas moves and I still treasure them because of the love and dedication with which they were made.
My best Christmas present EVER was last year, my gorgeous boy Cj proposed!
He tied a bauble onto Luke's (our puppy) collar and sent him running into the bedroom, Cj had written 'Mummy, will you marry Daddy?' on the little gold bauble which Luke was bouncing all over the bed with.
Cj was then waiting by the bedroom door with my stunningly gorgeous ring.
It was THE most amazing Christmas present and will forever be my favourite christmas present!!
We get married in August 2012. xxx
I don't know if I have a best Christmas present. I can never really remember what I got, only the day itself and all the ridiculous things me and my family get up to... Do hilarious arguments over Pictionary count?! Turns out my boyfriend has no idea what a hippo looks like...
PS: It did NOT look anything like a hippo! xx
My favourtie christmas present i have recieved was from Santa aged 4 and three quarters. They were magic bath crayons, unfortuantly my mum had left me alone with my brother in the bathroom with said crayons and upon her return we had redecorated the whole bathroom as well as ourselves. Saying she wasn't impressed would be an understatement but there is still a wee little blue splog on one of the tiles which won't come off which always makes me smile seeing it. Thanks Santa! x
my best christmas give ever (has been)or rather will be this x'mas advent calender...if i win it! :)
Is this open internationally? TY!
My best christmas present has got to be my Nikon D5000. Thanks to this camera I can take some brilliant pictures not only for my blog but also pictures of places I travel to. That way everything i see, all the greatest memories are captured and can be kept forever.
My best Christmas present ever was receiving a black Balenciaga City bag from my parents. I've had it for almost 3 years and I'm still so in love with it!

My best ever Christmas present was a plane ticket to Toronto to see my best friends, who I had been missing like crazy. Niagara Falls in the snow is very special!
My best christmas gift ever was last christmas, my boyfriend gave me a silver tiffanys necklace. It was really special, because I didnt have a very nice childhood and it was the very first time I actually got excited about a gift, lol at 21! Btw, love the blog
Eek! This is such an awesome giveaway!
My best Christmas present... Hm, that's a hard one. It was probably my Yves Saint Laurent Parisienne perfume. I remember seeing the advert and the bottle in my local department store and getting really excited because it was like a combination of all my favourite things - the advert had Paris in the background (my favourite place), Kate Moss as the model (THE BEST MODEL EVER OMG), the perfume smelt like damask roses and violets (my favourite scents) and the bottle has a pink tint to it (my favourite colour). Therefore, when my mum gave me this perfume, it was actually the best gift ever. Every time I wear it, I feel like a Parisian supermodel! :)
I love Christmas presents, doesn't matter what, but probably was my new hp notebook from my mom last year.

Good morning BBB
The best ever present i received was from my lovely daughter,she was seven at the time.It was a can of coca-cola & paper hankerchiefs
she had wrapped them & was so proud to hand them over
we still laugh about it now
joy x
My best Christmas present was a doll house my grandad made :) I got lots of furniture to put in it and it was plain wood so I got to decorate it myself! (Obviously the decoration was a bit rubbish but I was only about 7!). However, if I get Skyrim this year that might be my new best Christmas present ever :)
My best ever xmas pressie was my Son who was born on the 18th December 1995, so i had an early treat and i always write happy bithday on his 18 calender door.
