Default Coolest Gift You've Ever Gotten

I've got lots but recently received this for Father's day and its the talk of the office!

Just wondering what was one of your favorite gifts?

A copy of Tool's 10,000 Days, reason it was cool was because my Uncle gave it to me about 2 weeks after I bought a copy for myself. Useless, yes. But as far as gifts go, buying me something I would, and did, buy myself is perfect.

Christmas of 2002, my son got me a toy "Gort" (The Day the Earth Stood Still) and a "Robbie" (Forbidden Planet). He figured I still haven't grown up.

For me one of my best gifts was a large portrait of my family...both kids, their spouses, and all five grandchildren. I guess in my "old" age, I appreciate things like my family over material things.

My wife bought me an Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean watch when I was home on leave from Afghanistan about a year an a half ago. I had been looking at them for three years.
