I had to go to inpatient treatment for a while after a mental breakdown (I tried to end it all). My boyfriend bought me a Nintendo Switch and Animal Crossing to keep me occupied and it really helped get me through a rough patch and made my hospitalisation seem that bit more bearable. I'm still hooked on Animal Crossing to this day haha.

In terms of sheer pleasure, the Pippin Annual I got for Christmas 1972, aged nearly four. I loved those colourful pictures and their rural settings and their innocent gentleness and humour.
Toy kitchen when I was little. I loved it
when I was pregnant at Christmas my boyfriend got a ‘your first record book’ of all the firsts for the baby. I still go through it now I love it
same Christmas he got me ‘magnificent Mum’ socks it was just nice he was getting me Mum things when I was pregnant

Toy weighing scales that came with plastic fruit and veg plus there was a little drawer that contained fake coins and notes.
A Cindy doll with the horse and all the horse gear and outfits.
The first ever bottle of perfume I got was for my 15th birthday which was Red Door by Elizabeth Arden. I still have the empty bottle.

I had one of those, they were great. Mine was a little red one.
I remember getting a nurse's kit toy thing I was obsessed with as well.
love this thread , I really like thoughtful presents, anyone can throw money at something (providing you have it) but I really value the thoguht and effort that goes into things 
. When I was a child my grandad made me a doll's house, it had wallpaper, lights that worked with tiny lightbulbs, a fireplace... just amazing. I still have it and will never give it away despite the fact that it is just in a cupboard 
As an adult someone who I met at a concert ended up becoming a really good friend made me a collage in a frame with photos from the concert, the concert ticket and some memorabilia. I was very taken aback by the effort and thought he had put into it

omg I always wanted one of these! I loved my fisher price kitchen and also (weirdly) had a fake supermarket checkout with the belt that actually moved and made the beeping noise, having later worked in a supermarket I was amazed I would have wanted tp pretend to do so for fun as a child
My little pony dream castle and a Commodore 64..

I love thoughtful gifts. My husband bought me a beautiful set of chopsticks as I love Japanese food. Also loved when he got me a kindle, I read a lot and was getting tired bringing a lot books every time we travel. This year he bought me gorgeous earrings I'd pointed out a while ago saying how lovely I thought they were.
when I was in school my sister got me a pen with a mini etch a sketch on the top of it. It was so fun and it distracted me a bit too much in boring lessons
The 'A La Carte Kitchen' from my aunt when I was a child. Best thing ever
I got a wooden dolls house as a kid and it was my favourite toy. It was second hand too... it had no front either, wasn't a posh one. Cherished it for years.
I also got a desk one year when I was around 11 and I was so made up!
Menace II society on VHS when I was about 12.

That's exactly one I had. Gosh, just seeing that photo really takes me back.
Sometime around the mid-late 80s I reckon.
My beautiful late Mum realised I had a talent for painting and drawing when I was a very young child. She was keen to foster that in me, and presented me with a set of Rowney oil paints for my 10th birthday. I almost peed myself with delight. I still have the original box and instructions to this day. And I was adept at painting in oils very quickly, producing work that amazes me now as an adult. I still frequently paint in oils. Thanks Mum, for the best present ever...
