The word 'gift' brings many things to mind - celebratory bottle of wines, obligatory bunches of Valentines Day roses or the classic "get well soon" chocolates.
However, as lovely as these popular presents are, sometimes there's nothing quite like a unique or personal gift. So, we want to know - what's the best gift you've ever received?
However small or substantial, valuable or inexpensive, we want to know your favourites! Feel free to make us jealous in the comments below!

Comments (27)Hello Tom, Yes sadly I have had experience with this... first of all my heart sank, it was getting late and nippy and I had just popped outside, shut the door and heard the "click" After sitting on the step waving my arms around, swearing at the top of my lungs and muttering at my idiocy. I decided that I could save the day... So off I went in search of friendly neighbours.... and more importantly their hangers... I decided rather ingeniously that I could fashion a hook to open the latch from the cat flap opening with the help of said hanger and my arm and body shoved up against the door and what I could fit through the cat flap, in painful and oddly fashion (which on obtaining hanger from friendly peeps down the road... I had opened out and created a loop..... I say ingeniously because shoving my head through the cat flap to a rather interested furry head and two eyes... saw how it could easily work and indeed it almost did! Problem was the latch was just that bit too heavy to spring open the door as planned... Swearing, tries, and more swearing and a arm nearly take out of it's socket endured for about half an hour... My cat did not lend a paw and so... heart sinking again.. I set off once again in search of friendly neighbours.... and their phone... This time however, they were closer to home and upstairs having some grub. A chap was called and a chat and an hour or so later... Someone arrived...... Well................ what was used was known as "The flexible friend" Yes folks........ The Barclaycard!... And no......... it wasn't mine by which to pay for his expertise, jiggery pokery, costly and lengthy tinkering and extensive toolkit!!!!.... It was in fact the tool kit!!!! 1 wave of it in the lock and "Open Sesame" my door sprang open, like it was never closed.. $**£%$3%!!!!! I grinned inanely whilst shuddering at the thought of it... My innocent smiles did not save me a buck (as thinking it was so easy, I would be "let off" without the fee)... Sadly I thought wrong.. I almost needed my Barclaycard to pay for it... So the moral of the story is this... When you're a spastic... just get the plastic!! ........(and then hide it in a plant pot, along with a snifter you'll need when the realisation hits that you've been had! :)) (The door in the story is no more!) :) )...See MoreBest coffee tables ever?

Comments (19)The worst? Missed the last train from Dublin to Belfast and booked in at the 'hotel' across the road to be sure of getting the first train in the morning. Spent the night wide awake hoping the lock would hold, and my second line of defence - a chair wedged under the door handle - would kick in if the lock gave, while a steady procession of drunks knocked the door and rattled the handle whilst promising me a night of bliss....See MoreOcean Clarke

8 years agoFor our 7th wedding anniversary last weekend, my husband added a utility room to the house. It was an interesting take on the traditional gift of copper (for the plumbing).
