I was just thinking - for those of us who haven't done this before - maybe the "veterans" could post some of their favorite gifts from previous years?

One year Tin gave me a Playmobil Guinea Pig farm- which has a very proud place on my shelf- I still love it!!!  [smiley=smitten.gif]  I'm a dork  [smiley=smart.gif] and I don't even care!!

Last year, Jewlz gave me a Grateful Dead songbook with all kinds of lyrics and everything- which is so fantastic!! I refer to it often!!  [smiley=smitten.gif] Really great!

I can't remember who sent it (it was 3 years ago, and I had a newborn), but it was a box full of monkeys!  It had a calendar, a little stuffed one and a microwave bean one in the box!   :)

I have a feeling whatever I get will be pilfered by the toddler.  (This has started waaay too early!)   ;D

According to chary's original post, TODAY is the deadline to get your name in for this!  5 pm today!

So if you've been sitting on the fence, thinking about it - get your name in now if you want to play!  :)
