  2. The best gift I ever received was a painting of my favorite singer Tom Petty that my daughter created. She is so talented and i’m blessed that she shares her talent with me.

  9. The best Christmas gift I ever received was a baby doll when I was 5 from my parents that played lullabies. I still have her 35+ years but she no longer plays music.

  14. One year my husband took my wedding band to get it cleaned and resized for me. At Christmas, he gave it back…but had replaced the diamond with a new one 3x as big. It was so pretty and sparkly. What a wonderful surprise!

  18. My favorite gift was a lighted makeup mirror from my son. He was only 9 at the time and used all of his saved allowance to buy it.

  30. The best gift I ever received was a gift card at the spa! My husband put enough on it so I could use it a few times throughout the year to get a facial or massage. Loved it!

  58. A few years ago, my mother gave me several of my grandmothers’ rings for Christmas. It special for me to be able to wear my grandmother’s anniversary ring and remember how special she was to us.

  64. My cat.Kind of more a hand me down disguised as a gift (long story!) but he acts like a dog and is the best cuddler in the world. He’s turned me into a cat-lady (I was already crazy to begin with!!).

  69. The best gift I have ever received was from my siblings when they got together to get me a gift certificate from a local animal rescue shelter, where I was able to adopt my new best friend.

  70. The best gift I have ever received was the necklace my husband bought me a few years ago. I can’t remember what it’s called, but it’s shaped like a heart, and there is a diamond inside of it, that looks like it beats with every beat of my heart. I absolutely LOVE it!

  80. The best gift I’ve ever received is my son. I had two miscarriages, and 8 years went by, and then I got pregnant, and carried my son to birth. I’m thankful that we have him every day.

  81. The best gift I ever received was an electric blanket because I am always cold. I have been through a few of them since that gift from my parents when I was a teen.

  85. When I was a kid and sick with the flu, my dad brought me home a gift from a fancy toy store. It was a long-haired furry dog with a comb.It was packaged in a beautiful box with a big bow. I still remember every detail of it 30 years later.

  86. The best gift I received is a bicycle. I live on the east coast, and had gone on a work trip to San Diego and while there used a bike to ride up and down the beach. It had been years since I’d ridden a bike, and it just brought back all those young fun memories. I told my husband about it over the phone, and he must have heard the joy in my voice because when I returned home, he had purchased a bicycle for me! It was waiting in the living room with a big bow on it. He bought himself a bike,too, so we could ride around the city together. It was such a thoughtful gift, especially since not only did my husband want to recreate the fun I had on my trip without him, but also wanted to participate to make more fun memories together.

  89. The best gift I ever got was a coupon book from my son, who was 10 at the time. It had coupons for making dinner, doing dishes, etc.

  90. The best gift I ever got was when my son who has been deployed surprised me and walked in on our Christmas eve family dinner.

  91. The best gift I received was an ornament made by my best friend with a picture of us when we were in high school. She died the following April, so it ended up being the last Xmas gift from her, making it all the more special.

  93. My best gift was my daughter – she was an early Christmas present but she wasn’t supposed to be born until the 2 week in December but came mid November! She just turned 10!

  94. The best gift I’ve received was a combination Christmas/birthday/Mother’s Day (for the next 5 yrs.) of a Rolex watch. A family friend had a jewelry store and my MIL talked my husband into getting me one, if she got one for herself and luckily it was 1/2 price.

  102. I still remember how excited I was to get the yellow Sony boombox when I was in middle school! Everybody had Sony stuff – I was ecstatic!!

  103. The best gift I ever received was a car from my grandma, it gets me around safe, lets me visit home and its a cute red convertible, I mean YEAH!

  106. The best gift ever are the ones that my kids make and give to me. A scarf that was hand knitted by my daughter, a seashell picture frame with my sons picture in it, A drawing my son did of my husbands and I wedding picture, etc. etc.

  107. My favorite gift was from my boyfriend about 6 years ago, he bought me an iPod and preloaded it with all of my favorite love songs and made a Christmas music playlist with all of my favorites. :)

  111. My husband bought me a new computer last year for Christmas. Our old one had died and I didn’t think that he was going to get me the one that I really wanted and I had talked myself into being okay with it and then on Christmas morning I was totally surprised. He did so well keeping it secret.

  113. My best gift ever was a BIG homemade stuffed hippo my sister made me when I was six or seven. Henrietta slept on my bed until well after my college years, until she fell apart because the fabric disintegrated.

  117. I received a beautiful necklace from my husband several years back after a particularly tough year. I think about what I came through every time I wear it.

  119. The best gift I ever received was my late grandmother’s wedding ring. It is black opal and beautiful. I wear it when I need strength.

  121. One of the best gifts I’ve ever received is a Mother’s Ring with the birth stones of my three kids. Thanks.

  124. Ooooh, I love a good cast iron skillet as well! I received an Emerald ring in honor of my Nana’s life. She passed away last year and I miss her more than anything in this world!

  146. The best gift for me was way back when Cabbage Patch Kids were in style and there were blonde headed twins on the couch for me. I thought that was the coolest and had to show everyone. They are still in their box.

  150. the best gift I received would be the year we took a family trip… the gift of memories. We all got together and spent 10 days in a cabin in the mountains!

  153. My favorite Gift I have ever received is my healthy baby boy. I guess that might sound Chessy to some but there is no wrapped present that will even top the gift of life!

  165. The best gift I ever received was a picture album from husband with ideas for a date night each week and a spot for a picture from the date. It was the sweetest, most thoughtful gift ever and I will cherish those memories forever!

  168. This may sound corny, but the best gift I have ever received was a handmade card from my son when he was about 6 or 7. It included all the reasons that he loves me in a poem and was so cute.

  175. It’s hard to remember – somehow, it’s easier to remember the not so good gifts, like the year I asked for a white sweater (blue eyes, so I was always getting blue things) and got 4 or 5 blue sweaters instead. Had to go buy my own. Or when my parents decided I “wanted” water skis. Spoiler – I didn’t. The one gift that stands out in my memory is the cowgirl outfit I got when I was about 5 or 6 years old. I’d been reading my father’s Hopalong Cassidy books and was just thrilled to have that outfit!

  177. If you want the truth i have never received a true gift for the holiday. :( I one thing i want is to receive plane tickets so that i can fly across the country to see my son who i miss dearly

  180. One of my favorite gifts was a Macbook from my husband! I LOVE all your favorite things too!

    Thanks for the chance to win!

  185. The first Christmas I spent with my husband’s family I received several jars of spices (cinnamon, parsley, etc). They were reused spice containers that had been refilled and the new spice inside was written over the existing label with a sharpie. Even better – the contents of each jar did not match the label or the name written in sharpie. Sounds like a practical joke, but this was a genuine heartfelt gift from a somewhat crazy aunt.

  190. Best Gift I ever got for Christmas was the year my mom came to visit for the holidays from Georgia and shortly after her visit she pad=ssed was a special holiday, that none of use knew was happening, but I will always treasure the memory

  205. The best gift I’ve ever received was a kitchen aid stand mixer from my husband. I had wanted one since we got married, and he surprised me with one on our tenth anniversary!

  208. The best gift I ever got was my Reebok Step bench…which has lead me to working out for over 20 years consistently….so I can love my family longer. Almost 62 and still going at it and stronger and fitter than ever.

  209. The best gift I have ever received was the year my husband gave me a puppy a few months after we lost our dog, who had been the love of my life! I was so lonely and missed my old friend so much, that I just couldn’t cheer up and I refused to try to replace him until I saw that sweet, furry puppy face and heard his sad story. My husband was right, he was perfect for our family and even though he didn’t replace my old dog, he definitely belongs in our family!

  216. The best gift I ever received was from my Husband, he usually can’t keep a gift a secret and I know what I’m getting but one year he gave me a new wedding ring and I had no idea.

  218. The best gift I ever received was the Bible my mom and dad got me for Christmas one year. My dad even wrote a special little note inside of it for me.

  219. Money was very tight one Christmas, and my husband used his time and talent to create a wooden nativity scene that he found in a Christmas edition of a Better Homes and Gardens magazine. I cherish these simple figures and the love that went into their creation.

  220. The best I have ever received was my Mother’s ring. My husband bought it for me after we had a family tragedy and it is the perfect style and full of sentimentality to me.

  222. The best gift I ever received was a diamond tennis bracelet from my mom. I received it many moons ago and I still have it to this day.

  225. The best gift I ever received was a Seiko watch from my, now, husband. He gave it to me the first year we started dating and I’m still wearing it 14 years later.

  226. The BEST gift I’ve received is a purple push pedal car! It looked like a Corvette and it was so awesome! I rode it in our apartment’s basement, that went all the way around. I was the coolest kid in the neighborhood!
