In the spirit of the gift-giving season, we asked local residents: “What was the best Christmas gift you have ever given or received?”

“Probably a cruise to Mexico. It was from my mom eight years ago. I went with a friend.”

• Monique Pailliotet, Scotts Valley

“I gave a new bicycle to my son, because (a bike) was the best gift I ever received (when I was younger).”

• Barry Brown, Felton

“Thermal underwear for the homeless. The economy has been bad, and this cold snap brought this to the forefront.”

• Tanya Thoms, Ben Lomond, New Community

of Faith church

“My granddaughters were the best gift ever. It was over the moon — very exciting.”

• JoAnn Austin, Pasatiempo

“I gave (the best gift) to my boyfriend during our first year dating. He’s really into fantasy, so I gave him two swords — a buster sword from Final Fantasy that’s

7 feet long, and a 6-foot-long samurai sword. He was totally surprised by that one. It was totally cool.”

• Bobbie Tate, Ben Lomond Post Office clerk
