This one’s tough for me.. the ones that stick out the most as a kid are
-trampoline
-xbox

But as an adult probably ny favorite gift ever was a Velvet Elvis painting my brother had made and framed for me.. I’m a huge Elvis fan and it was something I had wanted for years but thought it was too expensive. Awesome gift!
 
My dad worked extremely hard, traveled a lot and had little time....but he somehow managed to make me a Cavalry fort, complete with barracks, a barn for horses, and various other pieces inside it..including a cannon and a rampart for the soldiers to stand on....it came with 7th cavalry soldiers, horses and of course an Indian War party to attack it...it was a total surprise, not on my xmas list and the most amazing gift given the time and effort and detail he put in. Made for a very happy 7 year old on Xmas morning. Best gift ever

This is boss level . Gets my number one vote .
 
The red rider bb gun that I shot my eye out with. When I was a kid, I got a Ghostbusters Firehouse, Ecto-1, the figures, a jumpsuit, a trap, and a proton pack. Hard to top that one. Also, getting all the Batman Returns toys for Christmas sticks out in my memory. Growing up, we didn't have much money, but my dad always ensured we had great birthdays and Christmas mornings. We never knew we were lower middle class to poor. He did the same thing for us with our clothes, vacations, etc. I look at pictures now, and I see us in name-brand clothes, and he's always wearing hand-me-downs—one of the most extraordinary men in my life and one of my best friends.

As an adult...I can't type on here my favorite Christmas gift as an adult.
