I gave my boyfriendba $2 kids plate from target with a bear saying "hello" on it and he waa so happy he cried.
christmas for me has always been bittersweet. it used to be one of the best times of the year, until i got older and learned how it crushed my parents the first year my sister passed away. it was only a few months after her accident, and had totally ripped any merriment from them.
as i came to understand these emotions from them, i came to appreciate the commercialism less. now, i can safely say that while i appreciate each and every gift i am given, the greatest gift is always the ability to see and spend time with my loved ones.
Best gift received was what little remained of my sanity.
Best gift received in my life are my daughters :)
Best gift I have given, all the wonderful Christmas present I gave to my family as they grew up

best gift I've ever given was a painting I commissioned from an artist who painted my boss, his wife and son in a King of the Hill style with their propane company name in the back instead of Strickland propane.
I think one of the best gifts I've ever given has to be the long board I got for my best friend. It was pricey but I got two other friends with to pitch in on it and I have never seen someones face light up so much. She was so happy.

I knit my mom a scarf a few years ago that I'm really proud of!
.: draco dormiens nunquam titillandus :.
Best gift received was a 55 gallon aquarium and the cabinet I needed to put under it from my hub ... I had been watching Tanked avidly and dreaming of setting up a tank every night. The night my tank was finally "finished," I sat in front of it in a rocking chair for hours and hours until I fell asleep right in the chair with a smile on my face. :D
(I'm about to try to create the best gift given: My first knitting ever, a scarf for my hub, in the colors of the American flag.)
Best gift given: A giant writing prompts book for my little sister Recieved: My fiance bought me a whole bunch of pencils and colroing books the year before last.
The best gift I ever gave? A $100 tip for a random waitress at Arby's Best gift received? My Daewoo for graduation (I loved that car)
Come away, O human child! To the waters and the wild With a faery, hand in hand, For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.
Best gift I ever received was a box of 64 crayons, with the sharpener in the back, when I was six. I'll never forget how important and posh I felt with that ^.^ Given idk, I don't make it a habit of stalking people. But the best reaction I can recall is the time I volunteered in a shelter and there was a mom there with her two kids having a hard time of it, so I hooked her up with some jackets. It was just an off the cuff thing, I happened to be taking a bag to Goodwill, so I gave them to her instead because she needed them. She was so grateful it made me feel guilty it was not more deserving such gratitude. For the curious, she is fine now, back on her feet for years, her oldest about to graduate high school.
We saved up enough money and got my mum an iPad Air 2. Woohoo
Similarly as some, I've gotten a plush teddybear when I was 6 or so. Loved him ever since, and he's still around. Given... I don't know. I've just bought my husband a Powerbank Goobay with 10050 mAh, I think he'll put it to good use. :D
