I can't compare with the gift of life, but my parents got me the office chair I'm sitting in as we speak.
Why is this memorable?
Well I'm 6'9" and weight around 320 at the moment. I would go through an office chair every six months or so, so my parents decided to get me a decent one as a reward for a good first semester. The spring on this sucker is so tough that most people can't even push it back.
I love it.
