LOL I guess that would have to be my boobs! LOL My husband (then bf) paid for my implants which cost $5800...I guess next would be little trips he's sent me on (when I was newly preg with our son he sent me to St.Lucia to visit family, he's sent me a few times to see my now ex bf, the kids and I repeatedly to Ohio and me to MA etc etc)..but the most expensive would definately be my boob job...

I received a ring from one of my boyfriends before. Though I don't know it's exact cost, I know it was quite expensive. When we parted ways, I felt compelled to return it.

I can't remember anyone giving me expensive gifts. Nothing more than a thousand pesos. Reading through some of the replies got me thinking. Am I that dirt poor? No rich parents, relatives, friends, boyfriends? Kidding aside, expensive gifts are wonderful but it's always the thought that counts. :p

the most expensive gift i received was a personal computer coming from my brother in law. he gave that to me because he saw me one time in a computer shop looking at a PC. he asked me then if i liked to have one. without any hesitations, i replied positively. so the next day he went to that shop and purchased the computer. how excited i was knowing that he already bought a pc for me. and that's what i am using until now.

My Youngest Daughter got her first job about 2 months before Christmas and she wanted to make sure she got everyone what they liked BUT she got me a Team Canada Jesery which was well over $100 at that time and took up 1 paycheck of hers.While she didn't have to she wanted to make sure i got something from her that was her way of saying "thanks". I wear it each time I watch Team Canada play Hockey.......

The most expensive gift that I received was when my parents paid for most of my debt on one of my credit cards. They paid almost $7000 to get my card paid off so I would not have financial difficulties. That was definitely the best gift that I received and did not request or want them to do that as I wanted to get myself out of my own mess.

Hmmm... It was probably that dollhouse kit I never got to use. Before our first house fire. It was..I don't know. Worth More than I've ever made, I know that much. It was pretty big too. With realistic furniture, decorations for the walls...tiny little plates and other things to go inside it. Had I been able to put it all together..it would've been beautiful.

I've received a number of expensive gifts in my life. The first was a ring with a brilliant which was a gift for my 25th birthday from my parents. My mom and I chose it together. It cost about $350. Two years later, it was a ring and ear-rings with pearls - a gift from my future husband. But I don't know how much it cost. One more year later he presented me a gorgeous gift - the thing I'd dreamt of - a piano. It cost about $250. One more expensive gift was a present from my mother and father-in-law on the occasion of my son's birth - they just sent me $300 so that I could buy some jewelry for me. I chose a ring with a brilliant again :) For comparison, in our family we usually spend about $45 on a gift.

The best gift that I received from hubby is the all-paid vacation together with my 2 kids to 2 asian countries. I treasured that because aside from seing the beautiful tourist spots and experiencing a different atmosphere in another country, I am with my whole family celebrating christmas and new year with them. My hubby gave me a set of necklace, bracelet, earrings, ring and watch that christmas time. My parents gave me 5 hectares of coco land and 600sqm residential lot. It's not price of the gift that I treasure most, it is the love and memories that was incorporated in it.

I think the most expensive gift/s that my hubby has done for me was sending me to New Zealand at least once a year for six years while we were living in Samoa. He always made sure I got to travel home to visit family regardless of how much $$ we had or didn't have - I love him very much!!
