We have a thread of people laughing about the worst gifts they ever got so I'd like to know what's the best gift you ever got.
5th birthday: Mom hadn't been feeling well for several weeks building up to my birthday and a few days before my big day she had to go to the hospital. She got to come home on my birthday and brought me the best present ever---a new baby brother.
17 years old and had to have my tonsils out. My friend that I also dated once in awhile brought me a book (he knew I liked to read) and a box of red jello--not jello, but a box of Jello. He said his mom wasn't home, he didn't know how to make it but it was something that I could have even with a sore throat and he figured my own mom would know how to make it.
DH gets me a gift certificate of at least $100 each year to the fabric store of my choice.
But best of all are the handmade card, ornaments and gifts that DD has provided throughout the years.
