four squishy rubber pigs that were given to me by an asian taxi driver client - someone had left them in his taxi and being a muslim he didnt want them so i have had them for the past couple of year and always get asked about them as they are huge with rolling eyes and tails and they are in my work room
and for those of you who can remember the nat west pigs back in the 80's i have been given a complete set of the original money box pigs ( i think he must have worked for natwest lol )
2 really nice dog collars for my english bullmastiffs
one client who was a pet portrait artist also did a really good picture of my dogs ( i gave him a photo) but i did pay for this so probalby dont count
but the most unexpected and amazing present that i have ever been given in my life from anyone was from a long standing client of 8 years who was moving to australia and we wouldnt be seeing each again and he bought me a hideously expensive Tag Aquaracer watch ( and yes it is real

)
(I do have a thing for decent watches and have several good ones, its the only bit of bling that i will wear and he knew this ) i did have a cheaper tag watch which i used for when i went diving but i lost it in the sea when diving a few years ago

Anyway i had my eye on this particular watch for ages but just couldnt justify spending the money on it and mentioned it only once to him that i was going to treat myself to it at some point in the future and bless him on our very last appointment he gave me it and told me not to open it until he had left
i was gobsmacked and actually ran out of my flat and chased him to the car park to say thank you with no shos on
