  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!

  29. 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!

  63. 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!!).

  68. 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.

  69. 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!

  79. 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.

  80. 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.

  84. 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.

    [Reply]

  85. 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.

  93. 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.

    [Reply]

  110. 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.

  166. 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.

    [Reply]

  173. 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!

  183. 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.

  206. 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.

    [Reply]

  207. 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!
