That would have to be a tie between my two little ones :)

My husband always has a knack for buying me gifts that are indulgent, but also make my life easier... and they always focus on my hobbies. This Christmas it was a new camera bag and an eye-fi card. Two things I never would have purchased on my own!

Can't decide between 2. My husband sent me flowers at work one day when he knew I was having a really tough day. I dried them and still keep them on my desk as a remider that he's thinking about me. My husband also bought my a new iPod (that I had been wanting for a long time) for Mother's Day from my kids and had it engraved, "Thanks for the mammories. Love, L & C" because he knows how much I enjoyed nursing them both! I thought that was hysterical!

I best gift that I have ever received was a hand knitted baby blanket from our great aunt. It was so special to me because she was very ill when she created it and it was her last blanket that she created for our family before she died. It is a wonderful keepsake that we continue to use for special events and every time I see it, I think of her!

The best gift I ever received was one sent by my father to my husband & I after the birth of our daughter. My stepmother had found someone to make a scrap book for me - and it is probably the most beautiful book I've seen - and on each page there is a sleeve. In each sleeve on each page, my father and stepmother placed a small envelope and each envelope there was cash. It all added up to $300, but it was not the money that made the gift. It was that they took the time to find the book - decorated with all of the things we love - and then split the $300 into 20s, 10s, 5s, 2s, and 1s. It was just the most thoughtful gift I have ever received. I love the book very much.

The absolute best gift I ever received was when I was 2 months old. I was given up for adoption and at two months I had found wonderful new parents. The best thing about this gift is that it keeps on giving. I had a wonderful chilhood and my parents are fabulous grandparents to my kids. I met my birth parents and their families when I was 18 and now my boys are lucky enough to be loved by 4 sets of grandparents! Christmases are a little crazy though! LOL!

The best gift I have ever received was from my boyfriend at the time. We lived long distance and I was not able to see him for Christmas. In January I went out to see him and when I arrival he surprise me with this Swarovski crystal necklace that I have wanting for a long time.

The best gift I ever got was from my husband when we were first becoming serious. It was in the 80's when the movie Valley Girl was popular, and my husband looked just like Nicholas Cage with his perfectly faded jean jacket. He was wearing it the first time I saw him, and wore it most of the time on mild days. It was one of his signature pieces, and he loved it. For his birthday, he gave it to me! I knew then that he really loved me, and was in it for the long haul. We've been married almost 20 years!

One year for Mother's Day my husband gave me a pink travel mug from Starbucks, and I thought "Wow, a mug." Out loud I said, "Wow! A mug!" He thought he was pretty clever because he knew he was hitting on the things that I loved: Pink, my morning coffee, and carrying my coffee around with me. I thought it was the dumbest present ever, but five years later I still carry around that mug and am reminded of my husband's "thougtful" gift and the pride he carried around afterwards. Silly.

The best gift I've received was my first digital SLR camera from my husband 6 years ago. It sparked such inspiration inside me that I opened my own photography business and it put me where I'm at today. I was so moved when I opened that gift that I think somewhere inside I knew I was going to do something great with that camera. I'm still grateful to this day that he went ahead and got it even when I told him not to spend so much money.

The best gift I've received was from my mother this past birthday, which happens to be Christmas Eve. I am a single mom with a 7 year old son. I recently returned to school to obtain my teaching certification in Texas. This past year has been emotionally, physically, and financially draining on my son and I as I juggle the responsibilities of a full-time mom, student, and everything else we moms have to be. This year when my mother asked me what I would like for my birthday I told her I just wanted a rejuvenation day..an "it's all about me" day. So the Saturday before my birthday I put my son's hand in my mom's and strolled to my car and went off exploring. I fought the crowds at the malls (for a little while), had a leisurely coffee, took myself to brunch, perused a few galleries--all with the complete confidence of knowing my son was in the most capable hands (next to mine of course). I was completely renewed that evening when I returned from my adventure. I enjoyed it so much that I've decided to pay it forward to another single-mom friend of mine. It was so necessary and renewing...now how many more days til Christmas Eve?

I think the best gift I received was a few months ago. Me, my husband and our recently turned 5 year old daughter Maddie was sitting in a restaurant. Maddie said something that totally impressed me so I asked her "Madeline, where did you learn that?" She replied, "Daddy taught me. He teaches me everything." I then asked, "Does Mommy teach you anything?" Maddie turned to look at me and quickly answered, "Oh yes Mommy you teach me love!" That had to be my greatest gift thusfar!

My first child, Abigail, born five days before Christmas. The cards that my husband gives me when he sees I am having a tough time of things. The handmade gifts from my kids with their hand and feet prints.

The best gift I received was from my husband the Christmas after our first child turned 1: a weekend away at a B&B. He had even arranged for his sister to come down and babysit. We had a fabulous, relaxing, much-needed couples-only getaway that reminded us we weren't just parents, we were still the same people underneath the sleep deprivation and spit-up!

The best gift I received was my twin boys. I have raised them by myself for the last 12 years, they are 17 now. I have never remarried so it has always been just me and my boys. Well three years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I just didn't think I could do it alone but what I didn't realize was what good men I had raised. Going through radiation and chemo kicked my butt. I refused to let my boys come in the bathroom when I was spending the first night vomiting from the chemo. On the second night they very loudly insisted I let them in, I did and they sat with me all night holding my hair back and rubbing my back until it was done. There was not one time they did not come in and help their Mom get through those rough days and nights. They were my rocks and made it bearable. I doubt there will ever be a better gift for me.

The best gift I ever received was a few weeks ago from my husband, for Christmas. We have a great life, and don't feel the need to need anything, so we challenged each other to spend $5 or less on each other for presents. Of course, you were allowed to upcycle, redesign, embellish anything you bought, bu the $5 was firm. He found a handled tray with a frame inside, disassembled it, and used old wallpaper and traced silhouettes of the kids to fill the frame. It was amazing, so beautiful, I cried. And I was astounded that he had somehow known it was exactly what I had always wanted.

My son was 6 years old. We were doing some Christmas shopping together. He picked up a small glass carafe from a shelf and asked if I liked it. I said that I did and he quietly asked if he could buy it with the money he had in his pocket. How could I say no?! Christmas morning I had a little package under our tree. It was not too much to look at. Lots of tape and a bow. Inside was THE most beautiful little glass carafe I've ever seen! I told him he sure was being sneaky at the store that day. He replied, "Well, I knew you kinda like things like that and I wanted you to have it. I love you Mommy!" My "baby" is now 16 years old and I still have my precious gift ~ proudly displayed in my kitchen as a sweet reminder of what it means to be a cheerful giver.
