It's a common experience as a child to receive a gift that did not meet expectations (I'm looking at you Sea Monkeys).

However, sometimes I received gifts that exceeded expectations. For example, the pump action Daisy BB-gun I received for my birthday at age 12 exceeded my expectations. I played with it frequently for the rest of the summer, and for many years afterward.

What gifts have exceeded your expectations?
