Best gift you ever had

[luludou]

What is the best gift you have ever gotten? why?

I think the year my parents told me & my sis they were taking us to Disney World was my best Christmas gift We had a wonderful time.

Disneyworld? Cool one! Would love to do that someday with my kids!

I wish I could say my best gift was some deep meaningful moment with my family, but really it was when I got my Walkman. It was the year it first came out and I was in high school. I swear stars came out of my eyes. We kids were always taken care of at Christmas but the gifts usually practical items. Toys yes, but the big dollars went to clothing etc (and I was always happy). But getting the Walkman was out of the norm and I was OVER THE MOON.

Teenagers get so excited about music. You would think it was their life-blood. I remember riding in the car with my Dad (who hated Rock) and literally thought I was going to DIE if I didn't get home to my radio soon. Now that person is my daughter. She sure is lucky I like Rock!

Believe it or not it was 2 gallons of paint from DH. I was home with 4 children living in a house that was decorated by the previous owner and not my taste. Did the kids Christmas shopping at the Salvation Army yard sales etc. Hubby asked what I wanted and I handed him the paint samples cards I had and told him he could find it at Ace Hardware.

Lucky for me my birthday is 2 days after Christmas when he asked what do you want for your birthday, I smiled real big.

My best b-day gift was from DH the first year we were dating - he got me a "good" camera. I said "this guy really knows where I'm coming from".

My best Christmas gift was when I must have been 9 or 10. My mom sewed my Barbie (it wasn't a real Barbie but whatever) doll a whole wardrobe including the most beautiful blue gown ever and made her furniture and a closet out of cigar boxes. I still remember that day 50+ years ago

Sounds silly, but getting my cricut, made me giddy like a kid. Just about cried that year.

I have been getting gifts for a looong time and cannot really remember one that stands out amongst the others. I do remember getting a barbie doll when I was younger and thinking that was pretty cool.

I think my best gift was a horse. Yep. I had wanted a horse since I was 4 or 5. Had to wait until I was 49 to get one. Was worth the wait.

It's a little embarrassing to say, but it was when my husband bought me a Mercedes after he had retired from the military. He said he thought I deserved it after giving up so much for his career, and following him around the country for over 30 years. As I think back, I'm not sure that the car was as special as his recognizing and appreciating what I had done.

christmasrose, great gift! You did deserve it, 10 time over.

For my birthday one year DH bought me a Dr. Scholl's massaging/heated foot soaker. It's heavenly.

When I spend quality time with my family that would be always a best gift from God.
