One of the best presents I have ever been given was a watch. My best friend gave it to me for Christmas. It was a very unusual watch with a very original design and it looked great. It had a compass and a thermometer so I could tell the direction and temperature as well as the time. Every time someone saw my watch they would gasp and ask to see it so I always got lots of attention when I wore my watch.
The next Christmas my friend bought me another watch of the same brand and this one was even more unusual. It displayed the time using only red lights. Now every Christmas my friend buys me a new watch and now I have a collection of amazing watches that I love.
I take my collection everywhere I go and I wear different watches for different occasions. For example I have one watch for formal occasions, another for casual events, one for parties and one for sports. Every time I see my watches I think about my best friend and I look forward to the next Christmas. Of course I have to buy a present for my friend every Christmas. It’s difficult to find a special or interesting present. I wonder what type of watch I will get next time.
