I think it will have to be the cookbook I found for my mom last year. It was one that she loved so much that hers was in tatters so I got her a new one.
the wardrobe I made for my grand daoughter’s baby doll. Took me all summer but she loves it.

The favorite gifts I have given are always handmade, because I feel I am leaving a piece of myself to everyone who receives them. I quilt, crochet, knit, scrapbook, and sew. There are several other things I make, but the predominate are the above. My grandchildren always receive something that I make, even if it is the sugar cookies that they help me decorate for santa.
“My favorite gift I’ve given is a secret santa gift to a member or our troops in battle because I too was in the military and realize the need for those keeping our country safe to know how much we appreciate what they are doing for us.
My favorite gift I have given is sewing lessons to my 2 nieces because it’s a gift they will be able to use for a lifetime!
My favorite gift that I have given is a box of paper craft materials that I gave my daughter, because she had so much fun making so many things from it. Now she’s ready to start sewing things, so I can guess what her next birthday will bring!
About 9 years ago when I was a newlywed, my father-in-law passed away. We made a quick trip to South Carolina from Indiana. While we were there, my mother-in-law GAVE me her entire boot box full of family photos. I took them home, organized them, and put them in a scrapbook, all without my husband knowing. Then I mailed the book to SC for my mother-in-law to do the journaling under each picture. She then sent it back (to my mom’s house). I gave it to my husband and he cried. It was the best gift I’ve ever given. All of his family ask to look at it again when they are at our house. Well worth the time and effort it took to do it all–and keep it a secret!
My favorite gift that I’ve given was a green bay packers jersey for my husband. He has been a big fan for a long time, but didn’t want to spend the money on a “.frivolous” item. I wanted to show him how much we appreciate him and his hard work in providing for our family.
My favourite gifts I have given are the handmade lounging housecoats I make my mother. Over the years I have made at least 5 in different weights of fleece so she can cuddle up warmly in any weather. There is a front zip so she doesn’t have to struggle with buttons or ties and it is long enough to tuck her toes under so she doesn’t have to hunt for her slippers. Anything to help with easing an elderly arthritic woman is appreciated.
My favorite gift I’ve given is a 18 inch doll bed my husband and I designed together. He made the bed in his workshop and I sewn the beding. The look on my granddaughter face when she received it Priceless.

My favorite gift I’ve given is probably a NFL Bengals Hat that my sister and I gave to my dad last year. We actually gave it to him a few days early, because we were leaving for the zoo and he was upset that he couldn’t find a hat to wear. So, we handed it to him and said “Merry Christmas!” Those are the best memories.
Thanks for the chance to win! Love those boots!!

My favorite that I have given was the big Star Wars Millenium Falcon ship that I gave my son two years ago. It is my favorite because my oldest daughter and I went to get in line at the store at 5am for the sale. We got there and there was a long line(it wasn’t even Black Friday. lol). Figured out the line was for a different toy and to get into the store. Scored a bonus for my youngest daughter too that morning and my son’s toy was on sale for an amazing price. Just brings back so many great memories of standing in line with my oldest daughter and laughing.
My favorite gift was to my husband before we were married. I bought him a gorgeous Black Hills Gold ring and had the jeweler add diamond into the ring. It turned out just beautifully. He’s never taken it off since so I am thrilled. I know he loves it because he never wore jewelry when we met.
Thank you for the granny square afghan also. I am trying to learn crochet again so this may be something I can do by this time next year for my Granddaughter.

I’m also able to show my children that even though we don’t have a lot of money to give someone a heartfelt gift.
My favorite gift I’ve ever given is a set of ornaments that I personalized with family names. My mom has always been a huge fan of the soap opera, “Days of Our Lives,” and always wanted bulbs with family names on them just like the Horton family on that soap. I purchased glass bulb ornaments and several Sharpie paint markers and I went to town! She was thrilled and touched, and I was just happy to give her something she’d always wanted.
This year, by the way, I added two to our set: one for my nephew and one for my boyfriend’s son, who insisted that “Grammy” should have an ornament with his name on it!
One more thing: I love your site, I love your doll clothes, and I love that you’re doing these giveaways. Regardless of whether I win or not, thanks so much!
My favorite gift that I have given is a crocheted dragon that I made for my cousin. He really loves dragons,so when I saw a pattern to crochet one I knew I had to do it for him(even though it had to be done in a really short amount of time) I worked on it every moment of the day for 8 days so it would be ready just in time for his birthday. Seeing him smile made it all worth it.
The best present I have ever given is my time to be there for my children and grandchildren whenever they want or need me

My favorite gift I’ve given was taking my daughter to AG Place Chicago to pick out her AG doll, Kit, because we had a special day and she has loved her doll for many years. Although my daughter is now 18 and off at college, Kit still has a special place in her room and in her heart.
My favorite gift I have ever give was an watch set I gave my mother 10 years ago. It was almost identical to the one her father had given her when she was 16 years old.

Gosh, this is hard. I think of the gold ring I put on my husband’s hand and the four children I gave him; the times I’ve been able to slip a $100 bill into an envelope for a friend who needed it; the handmade dolls, quilts and jewelry…The favorite gifts I’ve given are the ones that are most loved and appreciated by the receiver.
