XP: Best gift you have received

Every year seems to get harder and harder finding gifts for people.  I'm looking for some inspiration.  What is the best gift you've received or even given?  TIA

Re: XP: Best gift you have received

  • Who is the gift for?  DH, IL's?  Kids?  That will help me brainstorm :)

  • I'd say one of the best I received is when DH (then just a BF) bought a remote starter for my car & installed it. I had to park outside at the time & my job started at 7:30 a.m....it was so nice to be able to melt the ice off the windows and warm the air from inside my house! The next year I moved to his house & got a spot in the garage, which was even better! (-=

    As for giving... this year I want to get my brother/SIL on board with a group gift & get my parents a new oven. They've had their current one for 25 years, and it's long past its prime. I'm pretty excited about it and hope we can pull it off!

    My best gift-giving advice is to listen for hints all year long... like earlier this year we were going to the many Octoberfests and DH/BIL always admire the steins on display. So, I plan to look into getting them each a stein that suits their personality (or maybe a personalized one if it's possible & not outrageously expensive).

  • It's pretty much for everyone.  Parents, IL's, nephews, and a few gift exchanges.  It seems like everyone know days has everything.  I feel like if people want something they just go buy it.  I hate doing gift cards but it need be I will.
  • The first year DH and I were together (just dating) he got me this memory box to store pictures in and it was the best present ever. I look at it everyday because its sitting on my side table. Love it! It has a picture on top from a few weeks after we met. Soo cute
  • I love when gifts are specific to me so anything that makes the giver think of me opposed to a generic gift is great. I also love gifts that are activities. My SIL, BIL and I took MH to a baseball game for his birthday present one year and he loved it.
