I really find it hard to think the best gift I could give to them. They're soo precious and priceless. So perhaps the best thing I could give to them, is my life. I don't know If I could really give my self when time would asked for it. But that's what I felt so far. How about you, what's the best thing you think you can give to your family?

hi careguardian the best gift you can give your family is'free and does not cost a red cent. it is you and your full love and attention a lot of times a child or a spouse will say that they wish their mate could spend more time with them, so give them yourself, free and full of love and respect for your beloved family, that is a gift that keeps on giving and coming back, what goes around comes around. so for me as my only immediate family is my son all i can give him is all of my love and attention as needed.

Yeah, that's right. I agree with you. Our self and our time is the best gift we could give to our family. We are the best treasure in their life and our time and love give them meaning in their life. And the only thing that would give them happiness and leave memories that they would always treasure for a lifetime. Thank you for sharing with us and have a great day!

The very, very best gift you can give to your children is to love their mother. What children need more than anything else in this day and age is the security of a happy home. They will learn essential qualities when they see their parents showing deepest love for each other no matter what the circumstances. They can manage without a lot of possessions, but their future is handicapped if they don't see enduring love and respect in their parents.

Yeah, I agree with you. A happy, joyful and loving home is the best gift that a parents could give to their children. They would grown up equipped with security in their life. Since a person who knows the importance of loving and giving others would live a happy life. The lack of material things would not fazed them. Because they know in their hearts what matters in their life's. Thank you for sharing with us and have a great day!

Yeah, I agree with you. Time is the best gift we can give to our family. Because it's only the memory of our time that spend with them would live in their hearts and mind. Everything in this life happened too fast, months and years swiftly flown away, and it's only the time and memories that we shared in our family would remain forever. That's why it is very important for us to used our time wisely. Life is indeed too short. Thank you for sharing with us and enjoy the rest of the weekends!

The best give I can give to my family is my all. I would give them everything I could just like what I'm doing now. I would give them the love as a daughter to my parents and as a sister to my brother. I would respect their ideas and opinions and would consider it. I would care for them and make sure they are feel loved and cared for always. I would give and finance their needs and and I would like them to just let me do the work. Of course, I would treat them special. I think, these are the gifts I can give them. It may not be material but I think, they are the best. Giving my all to them will make them feel the best family ever loved, cared, and treasured.

Yeah, very well said. It is in giving our time, love and our self is the best gift that a daughter could ever give to her family. It's not easy, it takes so much love to conform our family's needs. Especially on matter of time, there's so much things that we want to do, that sometimes time is not enough for us, and how much more giving it to others. But it's not impossible anyone could do. Thank you for sharing with us and have a great day!

the best gift i can give to my family is money and lots of it. it always seems like everybody is always low on cash and i know money as ,shallow as it sounds, would make them really happy.

Yeah, money could be of great helped to them. You're right nowadays most of the people don't have enough cash on their pocket. And giving them extra cash, or lots of it would surely give them extra comfort in dealing their daily expenditures. If it's come from your heart, then it's the best. There's no such thing as shallow when it comes to giving a gift. Anyways thank you for sharing with us and have a great day!

The best thing is what a family lacks and is always dreaming of, that they once had that.So, if your's is a nuclear family then a car(if you dont have one) is the best what a family always wants,I agree that the budget is high you may buy a scooty or bike instead. Or if its a life time gift, then a dream house would be perfect.

Benefits to the parents to what is not affordable if bought, they will feel bad money, and still feel good boy and do not spend money. Supplements are quite good. Clothing is also good. Buy a good quality warm down jacket, I think it is a good choice. So, I'll give you advice is to buy gifts before you think about what Mom and Dad likes (there is also the principle of brothers and sisters), they will want to go nuts with happy, I think the most important thing is to have a filial piety, This sent out a gift, accept the person will feel your true feelings, because you are carefully ponder over and give them to buy the intimate gift. If you work after Jiali Ji had not given the money, then I suggest you give this New Year will take home the money! In addition to other gifts to buy! The money was not at all impressive, the success of their children are their parents piled into the hard-earned money, and why we can not use money to express our filial piety? And I personally believe that economic independence is the maintenance after the beginning of their parents, money is a measure of one of the indicators, but also very important. Regardless of the parents do not care about the money, they will not use, they care about is your filial piety. Think of this Chinese New Year, your parents feel it should be warm and comfort, because the child independence, but also because the child mind, Mom and Dad. What kind of gift to buy is the same, as long as you carefully chosen. No matter what the children to buy gifts for parents, parents in mind that children are always in the child, love will not change.
