What is your favorite gift to receive?
On the subject of gift giving, what is your favorite gift to receive: a) from a friend b) from your mother c) from your true love d) from your kids?
from a friend something personal that celebrates our relationship like a little memento or a "here to celebrate yourself" type of gift- From my hunny- hand written notes- love love love them- From my mom- anything she thinks about giving me. From my kids- good conversations and time with each of them.
I am not a big "gift" type of person. My favorite things are time spent with people I love. Perhaps a coupon book full of coffee dates or dinner dates would be cool from my hunny. Maybe a coupon book full of babysitting offers from a friend would be nice. Aside from all that mushy stuff I love clothes, music, and books!
I cant pick just one.....I feel lucky to get a gift from anyone...I think it comes from having a scrooge father who didnt like giving gifts.....so when my mom could sneak them in...no matter how small they were always a rare and wonderful treat.
nope...except gifts for him!! One year we planned a suprise party for him.....it was to be at noon at a local park...well about 10 am he threw a fit because he thought we all forgot his birthday!!! We still got a few gifts usually from friends and family...he just didnt want to buy anything.....
If I had unlimited resources, I think I'd be a constant giver because my favorite 'gift' is the joy of providing a special something to a friend.
If it is something she needs yet can't come up with the cash for, I like to hide it somewhere - the ensuing joy and happiness that comes from the unexpecting blessing is truly the coolest thing ever. Especially when you can do it in secret.

After 36 years I still love gifts from my mom. They are always what I need or really want. They Bless me.
Wow, your dad didn't like exchanging gifts, huh? I'm sorry. That's a bummer!
