Not unique, my kids got the handmade hooded towels for Christmas last year with their names monogramed on them. Practical and I was able to get rid of extra towels cluttering up my space.

Year before last, my Mother gave me the absolute best gift I've ever rec'd. She had my Uncle build a small cabinet, and she hung one of my very 1st dresses in it, and put in a pair of shoes, and a picture of me. My DD's, GD's and SIL's and of course myself all cried. The shoes were worn by me, my 2 younger bros., and my 2 girls.

Not unique - but because I'm a craft a holic - I suggest gift cards from Hobby Lobby every year .

Frances, that is a wonderful gift. I would have cried too. Thanks for the suggestion.

Four years ago, my husband and I flew to ND to spend Christmas with my brother and his family. It was the first time my brother and I had spent Christmas together in about 35 years. It was our Christmas present from my husband.

My brother's girlfriend was dying of cancer. During our last Christmas together, she gave me her bracelet that matches my brother's and some of her other jewelry. I wear that bracelet whenever I leave the house, it means so much to me. It was the most touching present I've ever gotten, it made me cry and I don't cry easily. She had the best time that day and I was so happy to be able to make that possible for her by having the holiday dinner at their house on short notice and getting all the other guests there even though we'd had a bad snow storm the day before.
