The oddest gift that I’ve ever given, and (at the time) was the best gift ever received was a garbage bag twist tie. It was an engagement ring. The best I could do at the time, and promises of better to come.

So, yeah, I’d have to agree that it’s always the thought that counts.

I gave someone a mini-bag of Natural Orville Redenbacher Buttery Salt and Cracked Pepper micro-corn, b/c it was right. We smiled, we laughed, and it was the best feeling.

Don’t assume! you don’t know yet what one of your recipients thinks because she hasn’t opened yet!

Truly, though, know that your presents under our tree are anchors keeping us in calm and cheerful Christmas waters. The mere fact that they are there… that’s quite nice! Hogs! un oh, I mean HUGS! *cackle*

Most of the time, there’s a serendipity — a pleasant and fortunate surprise — to a gift that ranks as best.

Yes! What a wonderful post. And truthfully, my gifts this weekend were a serendipitous combination from TWO people on the planet who have taken the time to know me, and chosen something that they knew I would love. Most wonderfully, the two gifts go together!!! Joyful.

Now, part of me would be a bit uptight because my gifts to these two friends pale in comparison. Thought went into the gifts, but resources were scarce, and I feel like I just sort of made do, and really didn’t hit the jackpot with that certain special something that really matters. BUT… in the spirit of being a good gift-receiver (which is sometimes just as hard as being a good gift-giver), I refuse to feel one-upped and guilty. Instead, I will revel in the happiness that my special gifts have brought to me, and know that at some point, I will return the kindness and bring the same light and joy to my friends’ eyes as they have brought to mine this season.
