What's one of the best presents you ever got for someone?

Yesterday was Rick’s birthday (bummer to have a birthday so close to Christmas!) I’m just shocked at the sheer amount of money we’ve spent since last Friday and was having a difficult time considering spending any more (besides…he never gets me anything for my birthday!).....but three days ago a box up on the shelf of our bedroom closet caught my eye for some reason (It’s only been there for 8 years…) I pulled it down…and found old memorabilia of Rick’s. Most of it was kind of junky, but there was a KC Chief’s coffee mug WITH purple on it (K-State girl here) and a small photo album with pictures of the big cats he used to have in it. He loved having those cats. Some times that’s all he’ll talk about, although he does agree with me now that having cougars and tigers as house pets just doesn’t really work out for anyone.
Well, I wrapped up the coffee mug and the photo album and gave them to him. When he was ready to open his presents I told him he had to open “this one” (the mug) first. He did. He thought it was nice….but there wasn’t a glimmer of recognition! I thought, “This is gonna be good!”
Then he unwrapped the photo album….again no recognition of the cover, just a puzzled look because it’s obviously old…then he opened it. It was SO COOL to see the amazement and wonder begin to cross over his face!
