What's the best gift you've ever received?


I think mine is a diamond solitaire necklace my parents gave me for my birthday a few years ago. I wear it pretty much everyday and I LOVE it because I know it came from my Mom and Dad, who I don't get to see as much as I would like.

Mine is also a necklace.  My husband got it for me when we were still dating.   Its a white gold chain with a sapphire solitare on it.  It's pretty small and simple but I wear it pretty much everyday and love it.

My parents gave me a trip to Ireland for high school graduation.

A close second would be...

When I was in second grade.

Maddie, you're so lucky! I think I spent my whole childhood wishing my family would buy me an American Girls doll. At this point, I'm ready to buy it for myself next year for Christmas when the American Girl store is open in Los Angeles.


My mom gave me my white gold/diamond studs and my LV Speedy 25 as a going-away-to-Los Angeles present.

My favorite favorite is my engagement ring, 2 years ago on Christmas Eve, and my dog Sully (our wedding gift to each other).


My other favorite is my great-grandmother's wedding ring. My aunt & mom had been fighting over it for years, and then one Christmas, my grandma gave it to me. It isn't worth much -- it's just a gold band with a tiny diamond chip, but around the diamond are rose-gold flowers, half worn-away. That's my favorite part about the ring, b/c you can tell how hard she worked during her life and that she never took the ring off. I love that my grandma chose me to give it to.

An American Girl store???? I'm so jealous. I went to the site to find a picture of Addy and totally got caught up in all the stuff I want. So hot.

A regular Nintendo when I was about 10. I had not asked for it, so it was a total surprise. I wanted it so badly - it was like my parents had read my mind. I was super excited about the 2 games I got with it - Mario Bros 1/Duck Hunt and Wheel of Fortune. lol....

I still have the Nintendo today - it's in its original box, complete w/ the Zapper gun and instruction manuals.

My favorite recent gift was my denim Rock and Republic motorcycle jacket that my husband bought me a couple years ago.  It was just really sweet that he remembered that I wanted a denim coat in that style (I had casually mentioned it) and that he went to such great lengths to find the perfect one.


My fave childhood gift was my cabbage patch doll.  I was 8 during the cabbage patch craze.  My parents had never bought us many toys, so it was a total shock that they went to the trouble to get us those dolls.

This is hard.  I usually get really good presents.  From my parents- an emerald ring (my birthstone) that I got when I was younger.  I don't wear it much now because it is yellow gold and I usually wear silver.  I still love it though!  From someone else, my favorite would be my Tiffany's ring I got last Christmas from my boyfriend.  I had been wanting it for years and my dad has a "no ring rule" for presents unless it is an engagement ring (I don't know- he's weird is all I can explain).  Well he called to ask my mom my ring size and she told him, but didn't tell him about my dad's rule and I had never mentioned it either.  I was so excited when I got it.  Dad wasn't thrilled, but got over it very quickly.

For my b-day this year I got some clothes, the LV speedy, and a car starter. That was a great birthday!

My dad made me the most beautiful vanity when I was little, it was white and had rose knobs on the drawers.  I usually get really awsome gifts too...so it's hard to pick them.  My family loves to give gifts!

My Ragdoll cat, Spencer. I really wanted a Ragdoll but couldn't afford one at the time so my ex boyfriend bought him for me. It wasn't a holiday gift... more of an 'I love you' gift.
