What's the best gift you've ever given someone else?
I just bought my boyfriend tickets to a Red Sox game on-line this morning (have you ever had to wait in line on-line??) Anyway, I think this is the most creative and unexpected gift I've ever given someone. Hope he likes it!!

5. I once refinished and reupholstered a platform rocker . . .
for a friend . . . the thing had been in the family for years, and it was really a mess . . . when I got done with it, it looked like new, and she said it was the best gift anyone had ever given her . . . made me feel good . . .

6. I gave my ex-fiancee a gorgeous oak mission partners desk...
It was probably the most beautiful piece of furniture I've ever seen - made in the 20's, orig finish, just STUNNING!

Well, like I said in the subject line, my EX-fiancee... She still has it. :(

7. I gave my ex-boyfriend tickets to premium seats for an
AC/DC concert at the Fleet Center in Boston (they're his all-time favorite band). The seats were in a special section that had it's own elevator and bathrooms, and there was a buffet dinner before the show. And of course, I went with him. :-)
