What is the most expensive gift/present you have ever received?

[Circadia]

Mine is probably my flute which I got off my mum and dad for my birthday two years ago (a) It cost I think around £200/£300 which is quite cheap for a musical instrument!

So what is the most expensive gift/present you have ever received?

[Jamesy]

I'd say my MacBook, or my old computer. Mum gave me £2000 from her inheritance from my Grandad for me to spend as I wanted.

[lawrawrrr]

SAME, my life, my baby, my flute <3

aaand this is it as of about 2 seconds ago (god it needs a good clean)

My nan bought it for my 17th, last year, it's worth about £3000, second hand... but it's a vintage (50 years old), professional solid silver flute (which means nothing to a lot of you) but it sounds amazingg and is worth that amount of money ;l

[Sharon]

eh i'm not going to lie but i can't wait for people that do haha

my auntie gave me her spare blackberry bold 9700 which was new so i guess thats like worth around £200 now? i am so scared something will happen one day and it will get stolen or some **** :( ipod touch is probably 2nd and i don't know the value of my gucci bag but its a realllllly small one. i also have a pauls boutique bag/hoodie

[Casanova]

I like a girl who knows how to handle some solid wood/flute.

Erh, probably a computer when i was eight. I know it was discounted greatly since my dad was staff but it was still like 800 quid. longest any computer has lasted, like... six years? then he got myself and my brother one each.

an actual present and not christmas was a £300 jacket.

i want her flute as well :l Oh well my flutes OK for now :') Better than using a crap school one (a)

[Stephen]

girls and their flutes :rolleyes: lalalala

erm probably a computer but they didnt buy it i bought it with the money they gave me

[AgnesIO]

Probably my PS3

Generally don't ask for expensive gifts, and I know if I do my parents will tell me to "work for the money to get it myself, like they have done all their lives" - which I totally respect.

Two of my old friends got matching brand new cars for their birthdays - twins too so same day. Shame they are such *****.

[Samantha]

My most expensive would probably be an old games console like PS2 when it wasn't that old or my ds, dsi, or old Computer :)!

Or my Only Fools and Horses DVD collection :D!

[Catchy]

probably when my parents paid for my holiday to africa for my 18th earlier this year, about £650 - £700 i think then spending money on top of that

[karter]

a rolex watch o:)

[j0rd]

Definitely my car from my grandfather which was £5,000

[iBlueBox]

Probably my iMac.

[Bext]

The house myself and my fella live in, hes an only child so his parents bought us the house when we had been together a while.

£127,000 I believe

[Jssy]

Erm a computer my mum bought me when I was about 11 or 12, cost £500 from tesco lol. Hp Pavillion with accesories, printer etc so it wasn't too bad.

Next expensive thing was my Xbox 250gb slimline. My mum has an expensive catalogue a bit like littlewoods where you pay like 5 years later so it's cost like £400 in total due to extra charges etc.

So she does what got Americans in so much ****?

Spending what they cannot afford?

[Jssy]

She can afford it, she just prefers to pay it off a little bit at a time but it ends up her paying off more lol

[iJess]

Well my horse was pretty expensive :') or probably my iPad, laptop or mac? :D

[kuzkasate]

I don't really look at presents and think of the price.. but recently probably either my iPhone or holiday.

[Oleh]

Well it's a tie between my Ps3 and projector both costing £600.

[AgnesIO]

Instead of showing off..

It doesn't take a genius to work out a Mac is worth far more than an iPad..

Nice you know the price tag aye

[Hopeless]

My Granddad paid for me to have my own house.

[Recursion]

My car for my 17th (although I let my parents use it if they need to) and then probably a decent toolkit my parents got me for my 18th which should last something like 20 - 30 years.

[Accipiter]

Probably a laptop, next in line is probably a car when I get a job, parents buy the car I pay insurance etc

So HxF be prepared for me being ******ed and asking silly questions about insurance and what not then redirecting me to the multiple threads already based on it ;]

[GoldenMerc]

Most likely my first car which was a focus think my parents paid £2800 for

[Hollie]

my laptop i think

[Red]

idk, they have bought comps/laptops my tv, my iphone (and the contact) over the years years. My formal dresses were expensive as well and they paid my uni accommodation for first year!!

[IceNineKills]

So many spoilt people on the forum. I never had all these laptops, computers, iPhones, cars and things when I was 16-17. The most expensive thing someone has bought me was bring me up until i was 16. My parents couldnt afford flashy gadgets or a decent car but every day they bought food and put it on the table. Although these days I do have all the flashy things, I have a car, a laptop, iPhone and my own flat but I've worked for every single part of it and have never lived off of my parents money.

[The Don]

My Car which cost £2,500

[dbgtz]

Probs my computer, £600-£700ish. But, to an extent, my dad took 2 weeks off work unpaid during my hospital period which would have probably "cost" him a lot more then that.

[@K]

Moped when I was 16, 1700euro, I've always bought my own 'expensive' things, phones, laptops, cars etc.

[Showder]

I'm more of an cheapskate but once I bought this 75pounds Toy Book for a 6 year old.
Was his birthday. *cough*

[Ajthedragon]

A ticket to F1 at Silverstone. :P

I was never allowed expensive gifts generally, bought all my consoles and stuff myself. :P

[Ardemax]

omg same!

except elephants i find tend to be slightly cheaper in the black market, so daddy goes off any talks to some working class people and then what do you know, we have 4 tamed indian elephants parading our house. lol!!xx

[Rainbow]

Decent Laptop :D

[Mr-Trainor]

The most expensive was my laptop, I think :P.

[tdi]

Love all the answers people are throwing out here. People are spoilt! I wonder how many people actually have jobs here or simply just live off mummy and daddy?

[AgnesIO]

Decent Laptop :D

Boasting, are we?

[Rozi]

Love all the answers people are throwing out here. People are spoilt! I wonder how many people actually have jobs here or simply just live off mummy and daddy?

seeing as the majority are under 16, I would say the latter option.

[T@R]

excluding cash, i think it was my reading ticket this year for like 196 pounds

[danzooo]

It's not the most expensive gift I've ever received (I don't like to shout about the most expensive one for obvious reasons) but I'd say the PC I got for Christmas a few years ago was one of the dearest. It's my sisters' now however, and I have my own laptop.

[Greed]

Oprah 50th anniversary DVD boxset, yeah... >_>

[Casio]

Given to me: Like a £100 phone for my birthday.
Given to others: 16ft fishing boat + engine (to my father)

[Gibs960]

Not been yet, but my dad and step mum have paid for my trip to Germany, £400 and about 100-200 euros spending and about £30 for when we get back! :)
