A box of DVD RWs when I asked for a specific DVD. (My mum always delegated wish list items to various relatives-- and of course she had to delegate that DVD (a cricket DVD) to my grandpa , his comment on the card, have this stack of dvd rws so you can hjust borrow it from your friends at school and burn it.
Apart from that it is not the most 'legal' suggestion , the thing is none of anybody at my (German) school would have a cricket DVD.
Number #2 is from the wife of my father: three big soap balls for a bubble bath. (I didnt have a bath tub at this time
)
Also especially disappointing seeing my brother got tickets to see Eric Clapton. :O
