i spent hours last night MAKING a song as a present for my
mom and sister - quite a lot of work. Check my BIRTHDAY
PRESENT link to hear the results.

As for CASH-WISE, I'd say 50 bucks.

I never spend much money on presents.
maybe 20 ¤ was the most?
We all know it doesn't matter how expensive it is. as long
as it comes from your heart.

Can I tell a story?
Do you know that, when you lose an eyelash, you can make a
wish?
well..I was sitting at my white desk, and I saw I lost one.
I didn't use the wish.
I took a sheet of paper and put the eyelash in there, to
give her the wish.
...It is surprising how you can make a girl cry with one
simple eyelash.
she said it must be the most beautiful present ever given.

I spent £1500 on a 40th birthday present for my mum about 5
years ago. I bought one of my ex girlfriends a car when she
past her test for about £4000.

don't know for sure.. I remember when I was real little
though I spent forty dollars on my big brother, and I
thought it was this infinitely huge sum. but I totally
worshipped the kid so I saved for like eternity to get him
this stuffed dog puppet..
god, it's funny how that nostalgic crap can make your heart
kinda hurt a little?

What you will probably find though, is that things like that
have more sentimental value than any of the other things
mentioned her. :)

You mean you bought your brother a house for 225,000 pounds,
or you bought a house for yourself from your brother for
that price? If the latter scenario is the case, then that's
not a present and doesn't qualify for this thread.

If the former scenario is the correct one, then did you know
that I am you have a homeless, long lost brother called,
erm, manicminer?
