I mean it's probably gonna be an Xmas gift but why limit it in terms of time period and religion
I'd say SNES in 1991. Sent me down the Nintendo rabbit hole

Probably the entire set of 1991 Toy Biz X-Men figures.

Probably because of the effort I always knew mom put into it, proton pack. It was plastic, not easy to find and mom tracked one down.

Definitely the NES, by a wide margin. A distant second would have to be the Gobots Command Center.

Probably was my NES… But the one I remember being the biggest surprise. I got a N64 for Christmas in 96. Had not been able to find one and wanted one bad. Somehow my parents ended up getting me one with Mario 64 and wave race 64. No one else I knew got one. I was so stoked

Either the Power Rangers zords toys at a time when they were damn near impossible to find or the N64.

I got a Gameboy Advance SP the Christmas after my father passed away. We were pretty poor and I knew it so it meant so much to me that my Mom managed to make that happen.

I can only define best based on what gift first sprang to mind when I read the thread title. And it would be the Star Trek Starfleet Academy PC game. I can't remember what holiday I got it for, but I loved it, and played the ever loving hell out of it. I wish it would be rereleased, along with the Klingon Academy sequel I never got to play.

What's a better gift than the gift of higher learning and knowledge? You can get that if you order the Encyclopedia Britannica today!

I feel like it'd have to be the TV my dad got me when I was 16. The friggin thing still works! I wonder if it'll make it to 20 years old.

My VHS player. Kids today would have no concept of how life-changing it was to able to watch my videos in my own bedroom whenever I wanted and not have to find time to use the family VHS player.

PS1
Hooked me on gaming. I had a Megadrive before that, but the increase in quality was so big.
