What's the best gift you have given or received? What made it so great? Was it creative, thoughtful, expensive?

The best gift that I have ever received is a becycle-BMX. That was years ago and I remember how happy I was when I looked out from the window and there was a becycle on the street. I rided the whole day long and I didn't want to get in. It was so cool.

What a cool gift! Do you still have the bike? Or has it moved on? Thanks for the response!

The gift of education is one of the best gifts I have received. One of my high school teachers and her sister sponsored my college education. I became a certified public accountant because of them. On my graduation day, I asked them how I could repay them. They told me to pay it forward. That they would appreciate if I could also grant scholarships in the future to less fortunate but brilliant students. I have started paying forward by financing the secondary and college education of my younger brother and sisters. In the future, I hope that I could do the same to other deserving children.

That is awesome! I'm glad that you took advantage and stayed in contact with them so they knew their gift went to good use. An education is something you will have for the rest of your life. Thanks for the response!

Hmmm. The best gift I've ever received? Probably a DVD player. I know it's not that big of a deal, but nowdays I use it about once a day at LEAST and it's so nice! It was a more expensive one, and my sister got it for me last CHristmas. She knew I really wanted one because mine had broken. *shrugs*

I totally understand. I would rather get something that I put to good use than something that is extravegant. Hopefully you will get something equally as good this Christmas.

The two best gifts I have ever received was my engagement ring and my wedding ring. I did not know that my boyfriend (now husband) was going to propose to me Christmas 2006. He had hid my gift in layers of boxes. He had started with a small box which contained a cookie and a note that said keep digging. In the second box was a scarf and a sweater he had bought me along with a note that said you are getting warmer to the biggest gift of all. In the third box was Tigger and Tigger had a box in his hands. I almost did not see the small box Tigger was holding. When he said why don't you hold Tigger's hands. I said ok, and when I tried to hold Tigger's hand I realized that it was hard to do because he was holding something. I realized that there was a box and it contained my engagement ring. I wanted to cry because I was so happy. Of course I said yes.

My husband got me a phone for my birthday a couple years ago. It's the first time I haven't lost or broken a phone. I still have it and use it ALL THE TIME! Thanks for the response!

the best gift is a unexpected one that makes you feel like crying your so happy to get. a gift like a kiss and a thing to do together

I always liked gifts that are out of the blue and something simple, but shows that the person was listening to you or knows you well enough to give you something just to make your day. Thanks for responding!
