One year I wanted, and got, a whole pineapple all to myself. It's up there as one of the best gifts ever. My nan was the absolute worst at gifts. She once gave me a terrifying celluloid doll, which had clearly come from a jumble sale (no shade, tbh. for the jumble sale bit) but as I unwrapped it, its head fell off and rolled across the carpet. I was still made to write a thank you letter for it too.
My best Xmas present was getting an engagement ring but my worst was a £10 gift card for a coffee shop from my Dad

Oh no! That is traumatic! Love the pineapple tho.
I think I was about four when I got it, so it seemed bloody massive. I remember carrying it around for most of the day!
I remember the excitement of dad bringing a coconut home
Yes! And my dad would always batter it with a hammer which was a lot of fun!
I think my best Christmas gift was one year getting a flight from my parents to visit a friend! Sometimes experiences are the best gifts
They are! Although now that I hardly get any presents, I do miss having loads of stuff to open.
And well done for commenting before I'd even got around to sending you the link :D
I got a 35mm film camera with a flash and thought it was the best - I have since have a full-fledged film photography hobby.
Oh amazing. I had a 35mm camera years ago and I loved it.
