off-topic What's the best gift you've ever received?

Just of recent, my grandmother made me an album filled with memorable photographs. The good thing is that she made it by herself and I feel the love she puts into it.

She used photos of our family to create a stunning handmade book which contained both pictures and her written notes on the back of each image.

It's an incredibly thoughtful and the most beautiful gift I have ever recieved. Moving through its pages brings back happy memories to me. What about you?

Wow! I couldnt believe my eyes. That's such a beautiful gift! For me, I love guitar and my close friend made the right choice by personalizing a guitar for me as a birthday gift.

That guitar is my best ever gift as it was decorated with my name. He understood how important is music to me. It is my best guiter and I play it on special occasions.

Many years ago, on my birthday, my sister bought me a pair of shoes, took me to a movie and then to the restaurant after words. She worked as a teacher and had a petty salary yet she spent 80 percent of her monthly salary to celebrate my birthday. That's the best gift I have ever received.

On me passing a prestigious national exam, my mother gifted me some significant amount of money that has so far built my financial backbone!

To me it was the seed capital which I invested in my friends company which is running good profits these days

This is going to sound like a bit of a cliché, but my wife gave me two beautiful, healthy, incredible children and that is the best gift a man can get. Being a father is a transformational event. I became a better man, a better husband. You realise that the world is not centred on you and you alone.

Have you ever experienced a woman giving birth to a child? The pregnancy part is an arduous experience in itself, but that miracle of birth is mind-blowing. Michelle sacrificed her health and her body to bring our children into the world and I loved her for it. There has never been a greater gift.

Couple of things......

A lady painted a picture of me and gave it to me when I graduated from high school (it's an oil painting).

Another lady took some fabric that her mother stitched together by hand and had a quilt made out of it. She also gave that to me when I graduated from high school.

Both ladies have passed away.
