i really love the watch my husband gave me the 1st yr married so generous and unexpected
This looks like an awesome birthday package giveaway! My birthday is in August so I guess I am among that percentage. My most memorable gift was when my husband invited some of our dearest friends and surprised me with a dinner out at one of our favorite restaurants! We then came back and enjoyed the delicious cake that one of my friends made me. A great evening.
a purple glittery car...yes you are reading right! My dad painted it for me!
OK seriously these gifts are gonna make a girl dizzy WOW.. ok back to my fav. gift.. it has to be my 7th bday I got a Cabbage Patch that I had been wanting FOREVER..lol His name was Lory Scott.. OH I loved him soo!!!For my little girl's 2nd bday last year my mom bought her one that Looked JUST like my Lory Scott and she loves hers as much as I loved mine :)
When my husband took me to the Four Seasons Resort in Punta Mita. It was so fabulous! The most relaxing and wonderful vacation we've ever had!!
Happy Birthday to you!
It is actually my birthday tomorrow! My most memorable birthday gift was a few years ago when my 20 year old brother bought me three gift bags worth of scrapbooking goodies. The reason it was so memorable is because he actually went to my local scrapbook store and spent over an hour going around and picking out things he thought I would like. He said he was the only guy in the store and the staff kept asking if he needed help. :) How lucky am I to have such a loving brother?! :)
A laptop...thanks for the chance to win!
Thinking....thinking.....I got nothing. I usually just get what I ask for.
a baby girl! (after two boys)
and no stitches which was almost better...
and a shared birthday for 13 years since
My favorite gift was 2 sets of earrings from my husband that represent each childs birthday stone.
thanks for an opportunity to WIn WIN!!

The most memorable gift I received would have to be my pink coach purse my husband got for me. I would never spend that much on myself. I was really surprised!
my 21st birthday was when my daughter was conceived which is definitely memorable.
I guess my most memorable gifts are all technology (which is funny because I'm so un-technological!). My husband gave me an iPod mini shortly after they came out -- icy blue with a Bible verse engraved on it. Two birthdays ago he gave me the laptop that I'm using right now and last year he gave me an iPhone. Generous guy, huh?
I got a box of icecream of my husband to be, when we were not even dating yet. From all the big gifts I got in my 46 years, that one box of icecream I remember best :)
On my 21st birthday I got some horribly raunchy gifts from my college friends. It was hilarious at the time and definitely something I will never forget!
The birthday I remember most was my 13th. I got a brand new bike...up until then I only had hand me downs.
In 5th grade I got the Grease album I'd been wanting so badly. There's a goofy picture of me somewhere holding it while sitting on my 70's bedspread and wearing my paper crown from school. Better scrap it, eh?
My daughter flew in from California and planned a party with my First/Second Grade class for me. What a wonderful surprise!
My most memorable gift was my beautiful granddaughter. Olivia or
Little Miss "O" (as I call her) was born 7 years ago this past Sunday, February 28th. She is and always will be a special treasure in my life. Nancy in So Cal
My first bike - it was blue.
My most memorable (because I love sweets) was getting BOTH a cake AND a giant chocolate chip cookie decorated with lots of icing. It was for my 30th birthday, and the cake said "Happy 26th Birthday"; then the cookie said "+4". What a hoot!
My parents gave me a cute little teddy bear that I really adore when I was 8years old...
Hi - I LOVE the cuttlebug I received last year - so fun !!

My first thought was a manicure set I got from my Aunt when I was about 10....in a totally cool case with all kinds of stuff..polish, tools, you name it...I felt soooo grown-up! As an adult, probably my solitare diamond necklace from my husband when I turned 50! MMMMMMMM - now I do believe diamonds ARE a girls BEST friend, indeed!
It was the day I turned the big 5 0 My daughters and husband gave me a surprise party and it was my very FIRST birthday party in my life.
When I turned 40....My Kids, Husband and Sister wrapped up 40 gifts....all silly small things, crafty stuff and I LOVED everyone of them!! =:O)
The most memorable gift was the first time my daughter sang the happy birthday song to me all by herself. It doesn't get better than that, particularly since it was such a surprise. She and her dad had worked on it together.
When I was first married, the only gifts I wanted for several years, were things for our house. Our first year of marriage, I asked for a beautiful brass mirror that I had spotted in a lovely gift shop. I still have that mirror and still love it!
My most memorial gift is a necklace from my husband. God bless!

I will ALWAYS remember the electric keyboard I just HAAAAAD to have as a teenager...and then NEVER learned to play! My parents have also not forgotten this! ;-)
August b'day girl here - my parents bought me a new car when I was a teenager!!!
My 9th birthday, my sweet new friend gave me a darling necklace. Thirty years later I still have that necklace, and that same sweet friend!
tennis braclet from hubby
For my 25th birthday a few years ago my hubby took me to Vegas.. definitely a great way to spend a birthday!!
For some unknown reason, my seventh birthday has always stuck out for me. I received ice skates from my younger sister, and a cherished doll, Mary Jane, from my parents. Thx for the opportunity to win a great prize package.
That would be my sewing machine. My DH bought it the same year his family came to stay with us for two weeks. lol
Pattyjo
Ummm... definitely the Hello Kitty Big Shot hubby purchased me a couple years ago! :)
My husband planned an entire day of gifts for me the first birthday we celebrated together- we weren't even engaged! He set the bar pretty high- horseback riding in the snow, a wonderful massage, a nap, and a fabulous dinner out!!!
My husband when we were dating wrote me a poem about our budding relationship for our birthday. It was the most special birthday gift I have ever received. He read it to me again as part of our wedding ceremony.
Before we were married, my husband gave me a Dallas Cowboys jacket (even though we live outside of Philadelphia). We went to a Cowboys vs. Eagles football game, and I proudly wore my jacket in enemy territory!!
I remember that handbag made of real sheep fur made big impression on me on my 8th birthday. My parents got it for me on our holiday in Cyprus. I loved it for years. Nowadays my first thought would probably be, "Poor sheep!"
My husband gave me a 2 year photo shoot pass on my birthday the month after I gave birth to our first child. I love photos so it was perfect.
I think it was my engagement ring which we were finally able to afford after 5 years of marriage!
my dh made it special one year, the birthday banner and all, that was the best!
enjoy *~*
A trip to Hawaii :)
Anything handmade from the kids - they generally make me something each year and its just gets more and more special :)
when I was six I got a purple bike with a white glittery banana seat!
We went on a cruise for my 25th birthday - the most amazing time!
I am the majority in August....my husband and I were first dating and we at a cabin with his whole family and he surprised me with a cake..good memories
When my daughter was coming for my birthday.
My parents were her accomplices.
I was so touches.
Scrapbises.
My bdays generally are pretty uneventful. I do remember in jr high my friends had a surprise party for me which was fun.
I had my 2nd baby on my 30th birthday, and the other two kids I have were born within a couple weeks of mine. So, I would say they are the best birthday gifts I've ever received.
A pink guitar autographed by Taylor Swift!!! That was a little over a year ago. Hubby won it in a contest. Pics on my blog!
I don't really remember my birthday presents! I'm sure I've had many, many gifts, but I just don't remember what they were!
A trip to Italy!
My fav gift isn't the most expensive but it was the most "ME" gift I've received, when my DH bought me a set of scissors, including the snippers I still use today when doing any needlepoint. They're a Fiskars set too, which is a Finnish company and I'm a Finn - something that I think escaped him when he made the purchase!
Thanx for the inspiration and blog candy opp!
I am always so touched by all the thought that goes into birthday gifts. I love the housecoat that my DD helped my DH pick out for my last birthday.
A surprise party for my 21st birthday. It was the absolute greatest gift my fiance (now husband) could arrange for me. Along with flowers, cake and a beautiful necklace.
A pretty birthstone ring my Mom gave to me many years ago. I still have it.

A wonderful birthday dinner for a large group of friends and families at Bern's Steakhouse. Extravagant but memorable.
