Well, if it applies, Happy Mother's Day! If you didn't call a maternal figure in your life today, you should do that now. The high point of my day was going for a bike ride with my kids, I got a new bike last month. It was like an early birthday gift (well, that is how I am thinking of it). Before getting my new bike (which, it must be said, is awesome), I hadn't ridden a bike in well over a decade. Sad.
Since we are working with the theme of my favorite things, I thought I would make photography today's theme. So today's gift will be some sort of photo-related thing. Don't worry, you (the recpient) will like it! I am really good at this gift-giving thing, she says humbly.
To be considered for the gift for today, please share a gift that you have gotten that may not have necessarily been a birthday gift; but, was so awesome or extravagant that you kinda had to push it into the birthday gift category (you know, like a bike or a longarm quilting machine, ahem).
I will take comments for this post, and all Novakkah posts, until 11:59 EST (or 2359, should you prefer that), Monday, May 12th. Please leave your responses on the appropriate post. One entry per post/person. Giftees will be selected on the 13th and gifts sent out shortly thereafter.
Anything you do with photography is amazing. I'm guessing you're not looking for Iain. Because he was close to my birthday and the best thing I've ever received (cue sappy music). I'll say my aunt giving us our washer and dryer last year the month before my birthday as a house warming gift. I mean, it's so utilitarian, but they are SO NICE. Sorry i couldn't do better.

Friends gave me a painting that was WAY beyond an expected friend gift. Shocked, delighted and grateful. I love it.
