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

By: Jacinta O’Halloran (View Profile)

As I pulled the slender box from under the tree, my mind raced with possibilities. Ripping the paper away, I found a small box of coloring pencils. “Huh?” The attached note read “you fill my life with color, now go fill yours,” and it included a certificate to a local art class, something I’d been feeling too busy to sign up for myself. I burst into tears. What’s your gift giving—or receiving—high point?

The giveaway ended Dec 17th, but you can still add your story to this chit chat. Look for more giveaways soon and stand by for an announcement about our winner.

An old cookbook might not seem like anything special, but it was one of my mom's old cookbooks and in it were receipes I grew up with. It was written in the 70's and has lots of granola and vegetarian recipes which I am really still into today and I use this cookbook all the time.

The best gift I ever received was on my anniversary / 30th B-Day. My hubby and best friends threw me the most amazing surprise party, and every single one of my friends were there, even the ones from out of town that I haven't seen in ages. It was a blast!
