A set of fortunate circumstances that have allowed me to maneuver through life without too much pain thus far.

The same one it was a month ago, when this question was first posted: the bookshelves my father built me.

I don't know.
There are some things you could call "gifts" that aren't anything
you could wrap. As far as things you could wrap go. . .I'm sure there
are tons of thoughtful things that I've been given, especially by my family
and friends. But the first thing that comes to mind is the book my husband
gave me for Christmas one time. We hadn't even gotten together yet--he
was still going out with someone else--and he got me this book of Jeep
trails in Colorado. I love books, Jeeps, Colorado, and my husband, so
I about died of ecstacy when I opened the package. I've gotten just a
lot of great things, though. My mom got me my special stuffed Simba when
I was sick
one time, and my friend Jamie got me a locket when we were teenagers--I'd
always wanted a locket. Jamie also made me a bracelet, and my friend Maarja
made me a necklace that almost matched the bracelet when I was in high
school (and she'd never seen the bracelet! these things must just be my
style). My brother took me to a concert that no college student in his
right mind would be caught at; my other brother had the party where I
met the man I was going to marry. . .I could go on for just ages and ages
about great things I've been given. Their omission here does not make
them less significant.

My brother gave me a piece of jewellery for my 16th and it was the only gift he ever gave me that he put any thought into whatsoever. It wasn't especially nice, but he's didn't buy me anything which required as much thought or effort on his part before.

I feel fortunate to be able to say that this changes all the time. Last year, at Christmas, one of my best friends - a 35-year-old guy - made me a Christmas card with construction paper, verse and everything. Another friend of mine has painted things for me. I tend to like gifts from the heart that have been made by hand. However, I truly loved my birthday present from my husband - a diamond anniversary-style band to go with my wedding set. Then he took me on an air tour of the Valley.

When I was sick, people from my church made us dinner for a week. That was nice and much appreciated.
