The first is a Tiffany charm bracelet that my husband gave to me a few years ago. I love it and now he just adds charms on other occasions like my birthday or mother's day. My other most favorite gifts are crochet slippers from my grandmother. Sh'e give me a new pair every year up until I was about 10 years old. I can't begin to describe the joy of sliding across worn linoleum at 30 mph. Oh the fun.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-42286500681777256452007-12-16T09:10:00.000-08:002007-12-16T09:10:00.000-08:00^^^ sry. i forgot to sign in.

Except for last Christmas when my sister-in-law told me she was pregnant with my niece (I have two boys so this was a double gift- having a girl to spoil with buying YA books and now having a good reply to all those questions about if I'll 'try' for the girl!)

But I particularly remember a set of play dishes my grandparents gave me when I was about nine, and a game my brother made me in school when I was about the same age, and a Madame Alexander doll my parents gave me just a few years ago because I lost my childhood one somewhere in one of my moves...and...

This was back when I was 8, and I was trying to write my first story. I was using a computer, and always had a fascination with the old typewriter in my grandmother's house. So when she gave the seemingly magical typewriter to my for Christmas - I was overjoyed! After several years, the typewriter is no longer in operation, but I remember the thrill it gave me to write stories on the typewriter, and how grown up and professional I felt. That feeling is why it was my most rocking holiday gift ever!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-74034433126303977182007-12-15T12:18:00.000-08:002007-12-15T12:18:00.000-08:00I've had a lot of rocking gifts over the years... ...I've had a lot of rocking gifts over the years... But the one that immediately sprung to mind was actually a book. The book itself wasn't the point. It was that it was picked out and paid for by my then eight year old niece all by herself. She'd told her mom (my sister) that she wanted to buy me clothes as a gift (I often give her clothes) and my sister suggested that maybe I liked picking out my own clothes... So, her second idea: a book. My sister took her to the store and she picked one out just for me.Maureen McGowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00494408580378817045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-89614499638360156902007-12-15T10:51:00.000-08:002007-12-15T10:51:00.000-08:00Well there have been a lot of rocking presents, bu...Well there have been a lot of rocking presents, but one of my absoulte favorites is the duilt my grandmother hand made for me.

But my most rocking gift ever would have to be the diary that my mom gave me way back in the day when I was eight (this would be right after the dinosaurs died, but before high speed internet). Although I didn't write in my diary everyday, when I was eight, I still wrote in it quite frequently. Now that I'm older, I write in a diary everyday, and sometimes (when I'm in the mood for nostalgia) I either laugh or cry at my old entries. I feel that if I never got my diary I would have never got into writing and I would have forgotten a lot of stuff about my childhood (include things I would like to forget, like bad haircuts and former obsessions with really bad boy bands).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-83375818361283788632007-12-15T10:05:00.000-08:002007-12-15T10:05:00.000-08:00my most rocking holiday gift was on my brother mad...my most rocking holiday gift was on my brother made for the holidays<BR/>In my country it is the use that you hide toyr gift in a sort of thing similar to somthing as a pinjata (in dutch we cal it The Surprise). You also have to make a poem with it.<BR/>In that time i was a huge fan of the musical miss saigon who played here in The Hague. My brother had made the best Surprise ever. He maded a bush and a helikopter and a red background with the miss saigon logo on it. My brother mada also a a poem with it. That the santa claus carriage had lost the gift for me above the forest and that the helicopter from miss saigon was trying to locate and get the gift in time back to the nordpole and then to me. it was a book wat was the gift!(that is always the best gift!)<BR/>it was the most special gift i had!<BR/>hope i enter the contest!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
