Ask HN: What's the best present you ever received on Christmas?
I have a 15,12, and 9 year old...just looking for ideas that really left an impression years later.
- DamnYuppie 9y agoSega Genisis.
- gamechangr 9y agoFunny - Sega Genisis was on my top 5 gifts of all time (we did it for a party).
- julbaxter 9y agoLEGO Technic box.
- hindsightbias 9y agoSpirograph. For a teen, I'd buy a tube amplifier kit.
- aaronbrethorst 9y agoA donation to a worthy cause.
- gamechangr 9y agoreally? I bet there's a story here....what made that your best present ever?
- aaronbrethorst 9y agoI make good money and have a rather expensive and esoteric hobby[1]. Knowing that a family member has donated, say, $20 or $25 to a cause that matters to me, like ensuring that people have access to preventative health care, gives me a lot more than an object of equal value ever could. [1] If you happen to have a few thousand dollars sitting around, I would absolutely love to have an Ebony 4x5" camera, or perhaps this 8x10" Deardorff field camera: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Deardorff-V8-8X10-camera-355mm-F9-Schneider-G-Claron-lens-holder-NEW-BELLOWS/282736889871 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Deardorff-V8-8X10-camera-355mm-F9-S...
