What a treat it was reading about your most memorable holiday gifts! Your posts were special, sweet and full of heart. They even inspired a few of the things I’ll be gifting this year! And speaking of giving, here are the winners of our giveaway:

Xo, Maureen

woman82: I have always received the best gifts from Mom. Although there are many great gifts, the one I would pick is my Clarisonic. I use it twice a day everyday. Your skin will never feel cleaner than after using a Clarisonic.

kpal: When I was 10, my dad, who was in the Army, was in VietNam. It was going to be the first Christmas I ever had without him. He had selected several gifts and mailed them home to us and Mother placed them under the tree for us to open Christmas morning. I would stare at the three boxes for me and wondered what could a soldier probably purchase for me in VietNam. However, Dec. 23rd, there was a knock on the door and there stood my dad. He had gotten leave and came home to surprise us. Christmas morning, he went to the tree and handed me the lovely yellow silk robe and the bottle of perfume he had selected for me. Those were wonderful, but the best gift was the smile on his face when I opened my jewelry box with the twirling ballerina in it. He had seen me the year before admiring one like it and he remembered. I still have that jewelry box and I cherish it almost as much as I do the memories of having a wonderful father as I did. when I open it and watch the ballerina twirl, I see that wonderful smile of his.

kcgirl636: The best holiday gift I ever got was from my fiance. About 2 years after dating we didn't have much money for gifts so he made me a picture collage out of pictures of us that fit like a puzzle that had a poem in the middle that was incredibly sweet and went together with the pics...then a year and a half later he gave me the best birthday and Valentine's day present ever....our son! <3

GreenMama: My husband spoils me and I am grateful for his generosity. Though this year he put his foot down about getting me anymore makeup. Understandable as I'm a bit of a tarte junkie. So you can imagine my surprise when he comes home from work one day, a little late and sneaks past me with a bag and goes and hides it. He later revealed it to me. It turns out he stopped by the cosmetic store and got me the tarte of giving collectors set and travel bag!!!! What a sweetheart! In spite of what you may think, it's his love that is the greatest gift I've ever received.

jazzyq: My husband bought new food storage container sets and other kitchen items and cleaned out reorganized the kitchen cabinets. Before his redo, when we opened the cabinets everything fell out onto the floor, and we could never find the matching lid for the correct container, after everything was neat, tidy and organized!
