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.

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.

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.
