Most expensive - My parents bought me a brand new 1992 Nissan 240SX-SE when I graduated high school.
Most memorable - a carving my late grandfather gave me. He also used to give me jujubees every year. We couldn't buy them in Texas back then so he had a place he would go get them and then send them to me. I used to shake the box every birthday I had because I knew they would be in there.
Longest Lasting - My grandmother made me two feather pillows when I was 4 or 5. My mom made the two small pillows into one about 12-13 years ago. I still have the pillow and use it every night. My head mushes right through it. I could bsically sleep without a pillow, but there is a comfort level there.
Greatest "non-physical" gift - playing cards with my other grandpa every time we went to see them. It was a ritual. We always took time to do it. Just he and I. None of the other grandkids or my sisters. He taught me cribbage and gin. He never "let" me win. He treated me like an adult. I loved it.
