Tell me about the gift you gave that was absolutely right on the mark...the one that you just KNEW would kick some Christmas tail and make them light up.
This is about impact, not cost...whose world did you rock on Christmas and how?

My sister, who loves & collects Butterflies, has been wanting a mousepad for her new computer. Something with Butterflies.
Sounds like an easy gift to find ? Well it's not !
Her B/F, Son, & I have all been looking for one for months.
Well at a recent visit to Office Max, I found a mousepad that has a picture frame slot. I went to http://www.flickr.com/
& found several (absolutely beautiful) photos of live butterflies w/flowers. I downnloaded, printed, & cut them down to size. Then slipped the best looking 2 into the mousepad frame. (so she can alternate)
It turned out BEAUTIFUL, if I don't say so myself!
My nephew & sisters boyfriend were almost (it's kinda 'girly') as impressed as she was! (cost?= less than $10)
I also found the cutest little wireless 'mini' mouse (GE brand, $14.99 ) at Big Lots. That was a huge hit, as well. It was a gift for my sisters b/f, who has a laptop & hates the little built-in touchpad. He liked it soooooo much. It has a 'scroll' button & a little compartment to store the little USB receiver thingy.
Finding the right gift for my sister is incredibly tough for everybody...she's VERY picky & almost always returns or exchanges EVERYTHING........
So the mousepad was an even more satisfying (challenge) gift for the 'giver'....ME !
btw..my sisters b/f liked the mini-mouse so much that now my sister thinks that I may have made HER gift to him look like crap, by comparison.....LOL

This year was hard for me, but the one I got the best reaction from was a book I gave my mother.
It was strange how I came across it, I was out Christmas shopping and my mom had asked me to pick up a book for my step-dad. I had not even planned on going to the book store, but there and for some reason I felt like checking out the books in the Christian section which I rarely ever do. And A book caught my eye. I grabbed it for my mom, not really even reading what it was about. Turns out she gone to a retreat and listened to the author speak and wanted to buy the book there, however, to buy the book, she would have to buy like a bag and the book and some other stuff so she didnt buy it. Sometimes its crazy how things work out.

I think the best gift I gave was the one for my Mom. It was a sterling silver necklace with a cross that has a red rose in the middle of it. It's perfect 'cause we're a religios/spritual family and my mom loves roses, especially red ones. She has them all over her garden in the front and backyards.

I gave my daughter the DVD of "The Brave Little Toaster," a movie she loved growing up & one she didn't think I'd be able to find. Her whole face lit up when she opened it. :-)
I gave my son a lego set which he stayed up and put together last night. Not typical legos...this is of a warrior that rides and giant spider. Very cool. You would've thought he was 6 again! LOL

Someone I work gave me a shirt that I really wanted. And I gave myself a hat that I really wanted. They were both so on the mark!
