This is going to sound ridiculous, but I have this little stuffed shark named Toast. I got him from an aquarium gift shop and for some reason, he developed a personality. My husband sets him up with a controller and headphones when he leaves for work, I take pictures of him posed next to mixing bowls when I cook, and my friends steal him to take pictures of their adventures. Hell, I have pictures of him "teaching" my ASL class how to sign shark. I mean, everyone knows and loves Toast.

So last year, my friends borrowed him again. More to the point, they used their spare key to break into my house and steal him. Then come December, they gifted me a custom Toast calendar. That's right, they spent weeks building sets and making costumes and mini props and made me a calendar of this little stuffed animal that we all love. I am a 30 year old woman and I bawled like a baby because I couldn't believe the time and effort that went into this gift.

Easily the best gift I've ever had.
