December 10, 2018 at 11:33 amI love the gift of experiences or time…a day with family or friends and it can be as simple as a hike with a picnic or a meal or coffee, a spa day or as luxurious as a trip away. Making memories is the BEST gift!

December 10, 2018 at 3:52 pmThe best gift I ever received was a Christmas tree ornament that was passed on to me from my grandmother. Now that she is not with us every Christmas it brings me such joy to add it to my tree thinking of all the memories I had with her.

December 10, 2018 at 5:02 pmI was traveling and living in Australia, and my family sent me the best present ever. It came in a poster tube with lots of chocolate from home. I unrolled the brown packing paper inside to find my family traced each of their upper bodies on it in different colored marker, and signed a little love note. There was velcro on each end of the paper so I could wrap it around myself and have a hug from home, whenever I wanted 🙂

December 11, 2018 at 7:53 amMy favourite present was a Christmas bonus from an employer when I was in my early 20s. It was the first (and one of the only) times I felt appreciated and respected as an employee. It set the bar for my expectations of a good boss and workplace.

Ashley Snell
December 11, 2018 at 10:35 pmMy favourite gift my husband got me was a purse. We went a few years not giving gifts them out of the blue one year he went out of his way to pick me out a beautiful designer bag. And to top it off he slowly saved by taking a bit of money out each month. This way I didn’t notice the big purchase come out of our account before the holidays. The fact he planned for months prior made it extra special.

December 13, 2018 at 11:28 amMy sister once gave me a nicely wrapped gift box full of my own hair….true story. I had just cut it, and she saved it. So definitely a favourite. If we’re talking presents that weren’t mine in the first place. I got an old industrial mixer that I use all the time. I love it.
