What’s the Best Gift You’ve Ever Given or Received?

The best gift I have ever received was a giant stuffed Nemo, from Finding Nemo. My husband was 18 at the time, carrying a giant orange fish around Walmart for me. It was sweet. The best I have ever given was a shelf that held five pictures. I filled them with pictures of my Mom and my grandfather (who had passed many years before) when she was a child and gave it to my Mom for X-mas. She cried her eyes out and it has been hanging up ever since.

A billfold I gave my sign. other many years ago that was engraved with the letters of the title of our song. It ended up wearing out and I gave him a new one. He has since passed away, but I still have that billfold. I'm Happy Just To Be With You. I love you and miss you Rich.

The best gift I ever gave..is a journal book for my boyfriend on his birthday last October 25 2007. The story is this. A week before my boyfriend's birthday I was looking for a special gift for him, and saw those plenty cards on the store, and I think I have given already much for him. And think that it's already so ordinary for him. I saw this notebook, and it looks so neat. Wen I got home, I painted it with colorful drawings nd wriiten inspirational mssages for my love for him. Almost everyday and every night, I make sure that every pages of the notebook is filled with love. From the first page till the end has it's meaning of how deep he is appreciated. So on the spot at his birthday, I told him that I don't have any gift. We celebrateed his birthday at my house, so before he leave, I hurriedly placed the notebook in his backpack. When he got inside the car, he came running back to my house and hugged me so tight and I saw the tears fell on his cheekst. And from then I felt proud.

The great’s gift I got. 2006 i was in the hospital for 9 months. I had a infection in my right leg . This is a long story but I will shorten it . I lost my leg and over the 9 months the drugs destroyed my kidneys. The doctor told me I would be on dialyses for years as the list for a transplant was 6 years long .Well could you get any lower.
December the 21 my brother walked into my room. I have not seen him in 15 years. The doctor told me they had tested him and he was a perfect match for the transplant. 3 months later new kidney in me and I feel great . Now that’s a gift .

The best gift I had was not wrapped, but came in the form of my then 22 month old son. We discovered when he was 16 months old that he was NOT a lazy baby, but that his hip wasn't fully developed. Dr's couldn't tell me why or if it would ever develop. But on Christmas day just after dinner, he pulled himself up to furniture for the first time and took his steps so gingerly. 22 months old to the day! Now at the ripe old age of 16 and 3/4, his gross motor skills are lagged by a few years but he walks, talks, and gets mostly A's in school. What a special gift he was and is!

My husband gave me a certificate from the Sheldrick Wildlife Foundation as a co-sponsor of a baby African elephant called Dida. My sponsorship along with many others provides special milk formulas & 24 hr care for these orphaned babies so they can be rehabiliated and re-established in the wild with other elephant herds. Most of these orphans have lost their mothers to poachers and to snare traps. It was the most thoughtful not romantic gift i have ever received.

The best gift ever was my nephew sleeper, all worn and dirty, he gave it to me in a visit to my brother, and he told me: "here ant, for the days you want to think of me". He was 6 years old, I cried, there is no way that I would ever trow that away. Venus.

Tickets to see Cinderella. I know it is silly, but I never would have bought them for myself and I was completely impressed with my oaf of a boyfriend at figuring out how to get them and where the best seats would be. It was amazing.

My best gift ever recieved was from christmas of '07. It was the last gift I would ever get from my uncle beins he passed away April 13 of '08. I didn't get the christmas present until May 11th of '08 though. It was a paint-by-number of a kitten hanging by a rope. It looked like the kitten was doing pull-ups. The title of the painting is called, "Hang in there."

One best gift I ever received from my husband was a WHOLE DAY to myself without the kids. Don't get me wrong, I love my 2 boys....but from morning to evening, I relished in complete silence. Yes, even disconnected the phone....ok my cell phone was on vibrate. I did no housework...just enjoyed my day off by reading a novel.
