@Lady_Choo my most thoughtful gift I've recieved from my siblings when I turned 30. I'm still wearing it every day. I couldn't really describe, or show them, what necklace I meant, but somehow they did find that and bought it for me β€
And the most thoughtful gift I'm giving away, most be the crocheted pillow for my niece, I'll give her tomorrow. All the time and love I crocheted in to that piece
What a wonderful and loving idea for a contest.
Growing up my mother and I had a few rough Christmases and our church would bring us along with other needy families a box or two of food. There was always a turkey, some bakery products and canned groceries. One year we were picked as "the" family and they also took us shopping for clothes, my mom needed a coat, snow boots for me and so much more. That was the best Christmas we had in a couple of years and it meant the world to us to know that someone cared.
When things got better for us my mom sat me down and told me that we should always be grateful for the help that we had received and to help others in need when you are doing well. My mother did that all of her life and me too.. when we could.
I had to realize that there was no shame in that when I was a child and once we are adults we do realize that it is better to give than receive.
@Lady_Choo thoughtful gifts Iβve given every year with my parish is food, clothes and toys to families who are in need in our community. Every year for the second week of December, which happens to be my birthday, our church hold a Christmas Workshop with Santaβs Elves. Instead of receiving birthday gifts, we purchase needed gifts for the church. Invitations are sent to families that happens to be struggling in our community to attend our workshop. We always asks for the age and size of their children and we make sure to have toys, games and clothes for them. The joy of seeing the smile on the kids face is the best birthday gift.
