Hi,friends.Today is my mother's birthday.It is her frist birthday after I got job and began to earn money.I am so excited because I can buy a gift for her with the money I earn by myself.The weather is becomimg colder and colder,and I have decided to buy a sweater for her.I am sure she will like it and I can not wait to see the smile on her face when she receive the gift. We have birthday every year and most of us can not tell how many gifts have we recieved in our life.But I am sure that there must be some gifts you like most and still keep them as the treasure.Maybe it is not expensive,but it is the most valuable thing for you.If so there must be some story behind it. So what is your most favorite gift in your life?Why?It is my honor to share your story!

There are quite a few gifts which I think are my favorite. I love to give/ receive accessories - that can be used in day-to-day life, like purse/ handbags or bracelets. I think whenever a person uses the gift you have given, it reminds him/her about you - the sweet moments both of you must have shared and enjoyed. Anyway, I think you have really chosen a proper gift for your Mom - this sweater will keep your Mom warm and she will definitely love this gift. Wish your Mom every success.

The gift my wife bought me - The HP2210 is still very good to use in today's arena of gadgets.
They don't make it like they used to anymore.

If only the accessories were not so darn expensive, I would be using it even more!
Hmm... you got me seriously thinking when I read your post. I love all the gifts that I received during my birthday. In fact, they are all good! So it got me thinking, how should I narrow it down if I only have one gift to pick from all my favorites? And the first thing that came to mind is the PDA from HP that my wife bought me when we were still going out and not married yet. It is the most expensive item at the time she bought it for me. Very nice and I love it till today. I rarely use it now, but I still do take it out from time to time to fiddle with it. The best gift ever I received from my wife. Eventhough the model is outdated today, I still love using it.

Oh! Happy birthday to your Mom my dear! I'm glad you could now buy a gift for her out of your earnings. And you made a good choice. A sweater is well fitted for Mommies. I know she will like it because my Mom also love receiving sweater as gift. I think sweater is the most perfect gift for Mothers! My son gifted me with a nightgown last Christmas and I loved it because it fitted me so well and the pink color is really very cool to my eyes. On the other hand, I had a watch which was gifted to me by my hubby and I've been treasuring it because I really love its design.

Aw that is so sweet of you! My favorite gift so far comes from my aunt and uncle. They got me a digital camera, and I treasure it. They knew I wanted one too.It made me feel so up to date on technology and I was able to share with them images from very far away, seeing as they live in a different state. I'm now able to take pictures of my friends and family, events, and anything I really need to. It has made life a lot easier, no need to borrow for profile pictures or anything, I love them dearly.

It must be a spiritual gift and not materialistic.

Well if we are talking material type gifts, it would have to be the year i got a typewriter for Christmas...that was the only year where i had a gift i wanted soooo bad, and because i got that typewriter i began laerning to type well and eventually that helped me in later school years and when i started working. Now the best gift and most valuable gift that is not materialistic would be my son. A gift we asked for and tried for for 4 years..everyday when i look into my sons eyes, i feel like i have been given a new gift, because everyday i have him is special.

i think the best gift is to be born as a human being. the life of every human is for a special purpose. it has been very meticulously designed by the creator. whom to meet,where to meet, every bit is destined and designed. above all, you get to have three square meals a day is the biggest gift... bye and take care.

The best gift I ever got was actually a Valentine's gift. I don't celebrate Valentine's day and neither did my ex but we both agreed if we were going to give gifts they couldn't be Valentine's type gifts (mushy things, chocolates, flowers, unnaturally pink teddy bears, that sort of stuff). So he gave me a box of really nice, fairly expensive (that's not the part that made them special) drawing pencils, an Emily the Strange picture book and a mixed CD he'd been working on for months.
