Top Ten BEST Gifts Ever
according to the Cynopsis Media staff
Lisa Ball: This really happened to me: a year after Mark and I were married, he bought me an antique diamond solitaire ring and hid it in a Christmas ornament on our tree that had a secret compartment in it! Very romantic and a huge surprise to me! I had happily started with a lovely wedding band.
Gwen Billings: The promise that we'd get a puppy (Scout arrived later that spring)
Wayne Karrfalt: The best Christmas gift I ever got when I was a kid was a pillow case signed by Bobby Orr - one of my all time sports heroes. I refused to let my Mom wash it for fear of it rubbing off, but slept on it until it got good and nasty.
Jenn Sredzinski: On my 11th birthday I was surprised with a parakeet from my Aunt. Kiwi whistled, talked and cuddled. Best surprise, present and pet I could've asked for.
Trish Pihonak: Three speed red bike when I was 10 for sure!!!! Loved that thing.
Wayne Roche: My best gift was "Hands Up Harry" I received when I was 7. I found this gift several days prior to Christmas and had played with it several times before I pretended to be soooo excited on Christmas morning. It was a standup cut-out of a bad ass cowboy that came with a gun and rubber darts. When your dart hit his belt buckle his pants would fall down and his hands would go up.
Mike Farina: Best Gift was the deed to the shore house that my father gave me and my sister on Christmas Eve. It was a great little house for our family - my father loved that house. Of course in the all the years that my family owned that house I don't think I ever got to sleep in a bed - I always ended up on the floor in the living room - so much for Home ownership
Meghan Brennan: An unexpected visit from a family member who wasn't supposed to be home for Christmas.
Cynthia Turner: When my children taped little notes all around the house I’d find throughout the day that said things like You’re Beautiful, You’re Smart, You’re the Best Mom Ever. One of those notes all these years later still hangs in my closet.
