ENTER! Misc. Av. Contest: Best Present Ever!

[auntiehill]

Thanks for the votes on the previous contest.

This week, in honor of Christmas, is "Best. Present. Ever!"

Standard av. size rules apply, as always, and as this is Misc, no media (tv, movies, comic books, etc) allowed. So what's the best gift you ever received, or what is, in your mind, the best Christmas (or other holiday) present you could imagine? World Peace? A car, a pet, a new baby, a pile of cash, a new job, a hot young thing in a Santa suit?

And, as I can already anticipate the avs to come, let's try to keep it (relatively) clean, folks. You know who you are.

I thought I'd take entries until Thursday, and then let the poll run through the holidays, closing on Monday or Tuesday. Does that sound OK?


Here's mine: the widdle puppy! Beware the cute!

Point of clarification: are YouTube videos considered "media?"

 

[auntiehill]

Yes.

What are ya tryin' to say?

 

[Canadave]

Yes.

Wasn't sure, thanks. In that case, I'll scrap my "NINTENDO SIXTY-FOOOOUUUUUUUR!" idea.

Here we go:

So what's the best gift you ever received...

Alas, my answer to that:

...clearly violates the "no media" rule. Can we make an exception? Judges?

This one’s clean -- and wet.

My own private submarine!

(Come to think of it, it vaguely resembles the avatar I’m using now.)

Ah, valid point - my entry is a similar tie-in toy (although not Star Trek) - do tie-in toys count as media, auntiehill?

Yeah, a lot of presents are media tie-ins. It might be a good idea to give some leeway with this particular theme.

 

[auntiehill]

Hmmm. I guess actual toys with media ties are OK, just no actual characters or screenshots from tv/movies. I'll allow it, as long as it doesn't go too far.

 

[auntiehill]

Any more entries?

My high school graduation gift was a telescope much like this one:

 

[trampledamage]

I'll try and get mine done this evening - I can't find a good picture online, so I need to take a photo of the item itself

 

[auntiehill]

Last day for entries. I'll do the poll sometime tomorrow afternoon or evening.
