The best gift I ever got was a pocket knife from my ex boyfriend. :)
ReplyDeleteI follow your blog via blogger!
ReplyDeleteI think the best present I ever got was from my friend's sister-in-law. She gave me 4 jars of homemade whole wheat pancake mix and a jar of homemade apple butter. She knows how much I enjoy homemade things, so it was perfect!
ReplyDeleteHmmm.... The best present ever? That's SO HARD TO ANSWER.
ReplyDeleteMy grandma knitted me a little purple scarf when I was a kid. I loved that thing. It was the first "just because" present I ever received. She also knitted me a crazy vest with googley eyed owls, and an American flag sweater. I wore the flag sweater to kindergarten once and was shamed into never wearing it again.
Sorry Wilma. Kids be vicious.
My favorite gift was a mannequin hand from my high school boyfriend. I still have it on my dresser holding rings.
ReplyDeleteMy best gift was from my son last year - it was a framed signed photo of one my favourite actors and the message was personally addressed to me and a bit cheekly, apparently the actor had to have it explained to him that I have a wild sense of humour and don't offend easily, I love my son!
ReplyDeleteThe best birthday present I ever got was a pack of cheesy horror movies (which I love!) and a trip to Eribus haunted house (my birthday is in October) with some friends. It was a blast :)
ReplyDeleteOh, and I follow you on Facebook and you're on of my fav. pages on Etsy :)
I love the mug!! My favorite gift was my new phone from my bay bay, but I've got lots of cool things from lots of cool people <3 I follow your blog by face book updates the most. Cute blog Chelle.
ReplyDeleteThe most favorite gift I have ever received has got to be my Grandmother's old jewelry box. It's a yellow, vintage contraption with three trays and when you pull it open the trays thrust their treasurers forward. It's filled with her old jewlery, bobbles and pins. My favorite part is that both of us never had our ears pierces so there are lots of old clip on earrings for me to delight in.
ReplyDeleteNow that she is gone it means even more.
BEST gift ever was the camera I got when I was little. It was a polaroid. I loved how my dad bragged about my photos to everyone. :)
ReplyDeleteThe best gift that I have gotten was from my 5 year old son for mothers day. He made me a book filled with pictures that he wrote captions for, it is hilarious!
ReplyDeletebest ever? My grandson(4) and I made applesauce and he gave me some as a gift!
