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.

The best gift I ever received was a box of baby clothes from my Mom before my first child was born. It was so sweet looking at all the lovely baby things she bought .

The best gift i ever got was i more chance at seeing my mother be for she passed away. I thank God for letting me see her 1 last time. How any one could have giving me another chance like that i dont know how. Any kind of gift would never replace a gift like that one. Many people ask why i call it a gift. I call it a gift because if i would have never seen my mom last tme i would have had been scared for the rest of my life!

What a wonderful and thoughtful gift you received! :) My receiving high point was when my husband found my wedding ring. I have a wrap set and one part was missing. We searched high and low until one day after a month he found it in the very bottom of the couch!
