I was just having a tidy-up and in the process move my knitting - yes you heard me correctly - I said knitting.
As I did, I remembered a comment made to me a while back. I was chatting to a person I know on cam and they noticed the knitting in the background... "I never thought you would be into knitting" they chuckled. "I am not!" I replied and explained a very dear friend of mine had noticed some wool in a department store one day and commented how gorgeous it was. Sometime later in a shop window I spotted the same wool and I bought some of it with the aim of making a scarf as a gift for my friend. Now this was around April time when I started and I really fucking hate knitting - but I have until October to finish making the scarf. It may end up being the most crappy scarf on this planet - but it will mean something.
I have no idea why I am telling you this - but feel free to make any comments as you wish.

Gifts that mean something
The best present I have ever received.
It was the ingredients for rice pudding. I had mentioned at a party that my then wife didn't like the smell of cooked milk therefore since we had been married I hadn't had rice pudding. Then at Christmas a small package arrived with all the stuff in it.
It's nice when someone listens to what you say

I agree! Gifts that are turly personal, thoughful or even home made are the BEST! No matter how much or little they cost.
As an anniversary present for my gf I got hold of the backing track to a song she loved then spent quite a bit of time recording my vocals.
I can't sing very well at all so it way more amusing than romantic, but she loved it!

PL I'm going to destroy my rep for good now and fess up that I do knitting too !
I needed to find something to keep me awake on my night shifts so I found a very nice pattern for a long cardigan and made one for myself in about 6 weeks. My mate saw it and said how nice it was and it was just the thing she could do with when taking the dog over the park when the weather starts turning a bit colder so I've now started one for her too as a surprise.
My fave birthday pressie was a clock that my best mate made for me and I love it ! You can't beat a pressie that's got the personal touch

That's what I would love as a pressie from Steve... He has a wonderful voice and I would love to have a CD of my favourite songs sung by him
As for the best pressie I have ever had
I get so many hand made things from my kids that I wouldn't be able to pick just one... 
My best gift ever was Max my labrador puppy bought by my sisters and niece just 3 weeks ago.
Had my last dog put to sleep in January and they knew i allways wanted a lab.
My sister visits evrey Friday and we normaly have fish n chips but on the Friday 3 weeks ago we didn't have any and suddenly my niece turned up to take my sister somewhere, when we asked where you going she just said somewhere. Then Just as i was about to lock up the front door at about 10:30 i saw a shadow through the door and noticed they had come back so i opened the door and in my sisteres arms was Max
By time they got in the house i was in tears.

It's the simple things that always seem to mean the most...................I came home from work in the early hours the other night and on the table I found nothing more than a kinder egg and a note saying hope you've had a good night
It meant the world to me it did just knowing that she had thought about me :D

My bestest pressie...or the one that springs to mind immediately in convo's like this is an egg that breaks in half, one of the halves with a baby dragon/firelizard in it. The edges are serated just like it has been cracked open and Stormy painted it it for me. It's a little bigger than a thumbnail and is sooooo lovely and so was the thought.

My Dad passed away earlier this year. It was to be he and my Mums Golden Wedding Anniversary this year.
As a surprise my Mum made me a copy of their wedding photo, framed - it was absolutely beautiful.
Sadly Mum died suddenly very soon after, this was only a couple of weeks ago.
That photo is now my most treasured possession.

I am very sorry to hear of your loss, please let me pass on my condolescences.
I know the words of a stranger may not mean that much but the loss of your parents is always a hard blow. We some how believe they will always be there but sadly they can't.

oh god :doh: how thick am I :banghead: It has only just sunk in why I was having a 'soft' moment. It was KM's comment about bragging in another thread - with a tenuous link to this one.....
My experience Saturday was a gift - a thank you gift.
I had done some work for one of my networking buddies (a former MD) and rather than give me a wedge of cash or bye me a pint - he said thank you with a gift I will remember for my whole life.

Rather than be paranoid/offended//silly I will just come right out and say it! I don't understand.

Gifts that mean something.
The wonderful bouquet of flowers someone brought me last year off this site, 2 days (I think) just before I went on holiday, (my neighbour had them when I went away)
The gift was a thankyou for something I had done for him and the thought from him will always be treasured.

Going back a couple of years ago, G gave me a voucher to get some new glasses for my birthday. It meant a lot because anyone who wears them knows, they dont come cheap.
The funniest thing was after I told my best mate what a wonderful thing G had done, he commented 'Ah.....the gift of sight.'
Guess you had to be there.
