What is your favorite type of gift to receive?

twee things!

and things that reflect the gift giver's personality but that were chosen with the recipient's tastes in mind

like a red with white polka dots thong

affection, books

Feed me.

the less gift-like the better imo so: food and money in that order

why do you hate shelter?

before 2011 someone is going to give me an extremely expensive european sportscar, which i will end up crashing in spectacular and bloody fashion. my destiny has been written

food & drink by far. material gifts make me uncomfortable 'cause i'm trying to minimize the stuff in my life, and i'm getting kinda picky about the stuff i keep around.

comestibles, including drugs. My bro got me civet coffee at christmas. It was good.

I voted sentimental. My mom always tries to buy me a bunch of clothes for Christmas, half of which she has to end up returning anyway, but this year she also gave me a bunch of old photos from when I was a kid. That was cool. Also, a few years ago for my 26th birthday, a friend of mine bought a tiny notebook and filled it with a list of 26 things she liked about me. Each one was on its own page and was accompanied by little doodles. One of the best gifts I've ever received.

wait, what is head?

Oh, you poor thing.

I honestly prefer giving gifts to receiving them.

surmounter is a tuomas sockpuppet?

lol hush i didn't get it at first

i thought it was like a gift for your mind

It is, kind of.

that's so cool!

i'm going to start shopping for a friend like that

best two joint presents:
a art book from my favourite artist that is signed and way, waaaay out of my price range + the power point slideshow put together by the gift giver to elaborately reveal the gift (since the book was a pre-order and not available for what turned out to be about 10 months).

2nd best gift:
a custom designed and handmade journal, styled like a really old book. absolutely beautiful, but... too beautiful to do anything with! couldn't bear to soil its pages with my writing so i use it as a sort of photo album.

*an art book

wow!

...y'know, i think it would be good if more events in everyday life were conducted as powerpoint presentations or semi-formal multimedia presentations of some sort.

the gift of BLOWJOBS

oh whoops...I was so excited to post that I didn't realize someone had already said it.

seriously one of the nicest gifts i've gotten in ages (maybe ever!) was from just1n3 and ytth a few weeks ago! it was so thoughtful and touching, so i guess i'm going with sentimental.

socks

Some of the best gifts I've gotten recently were both practical and sentimental - things that I had good use for (a dashboard compass, a bike tire patch kit) that I hadn't really thought to buy for myself...the gift giver I guess knows my life better than I do.

Fun things. Opening up the wrapping paper and seeing the Jodorowsky box set :-D

I chose Fun Things because pretty much everything I want is either a CD, DVD, book, or musical gear.

I like money gifts too, but I'd probably just turn around and spend it on fun things or paying off my bills.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

head should count as a "fun thing".

where does "lemurs" fit in poll?

can't believe more people don't want fun times.

I suppose if you trained the lemurs it could fall under 'services' or 'practical things'

"head should count as a "fun thing"."

If the head you're getting is just "fun", you should get some better head.
