The best gift I ever gave
or received is...
...My husband gave me ballet
lessons one year and wrapped the
voucher in a pointe shoe, along
with leg warmers and bobby pins
(for my “ballet bun”).

I was given a beautiful bracelet
by my husband (fiance at the
time), with a little note about our
upcoming wedding, and how now
I had something new to wear on
the day. Probably one of the most
romantic gifts I’ve ever received!

...It has to be our children.
Best gifts we have ever
given and received.

...My sister and I made a photo
album (with real, printed photos!)
for our dad that included
everything from childhood
pictures to our graduation shots.
He cried a little when he opened
it, so we considered it a success.
...or will ever receive, is the gift
of a liver for my daughter when
she was six weeks old and
fighting for her life. The gift of
her laughter, of her love, and
of the opportunity to watch her
grow is priceless

...The best gift I have ever received would
by far have to be my home. We put our
blood, sweat, and tears in to our home and
moved in one week before Christmas. We
have created so many memories and I am
grateful every day that we were able to
build it ourselves.
