Memorable gifts....  

That is really sweet...especially with the plaque attached.I bet you teared up on the one..I attached a picture of the jewlery box I am picturing but this appears to have some glass in the door. Thanks for sharing danish...

It looks exactly like that, same kind of wood too, but no glass in the door. The plaque is on top. It's really nice.

Aww...he is too sweet. That is a great idea and oh the sentiment is great. That is definitely a great gift idea in such a situation. Thanks for sharing dawnald.

Scrapbooking is a great craft just because like in your case it can take you back in time to all the memories lost, forgotten or unknown. Did either of you know that the other one was doing this for the other? If not that would be pretty weird and awesome all in the same...thanks for sharing jen

Hello...that is very sweet. Being kissed on the forhead is one of the great kisses in my opinion and are definitely memorable. I am sorry that she is no longer with you onida but glad you still are able to keep those memories. Thanks for your response

Are you talking about an actually working stand up fountain or are you talking more of a table top type fountain?
That would be really cool either way and I like how they both came together to get it for you...
Thanks for your response gabs and happy holidays

Yes it is a Table top one and I treasure it

A new stove is definitely a memorable gifts because it is one that you can use daily and in most cases for a very long time. I am glad that your mom was able to help you and make it memorable. Happy holidays to you and yours and Thanks for your response winterose

yep it is a really valuable item, not one you get everyday that is for sure,
and I cooked my first turkey in it. It was delicious.

happy holidays to you hope you had a nice christmas

Wow that does sound increadible. I know we love to take our kids around to look at all of the lights here in town and I know that is pretty great so I couldn't imagine going up in an helicopter and being able to see the lights. Where you able to get any pictures?
Thanks for your response ambie and happy holidays

No, no pictures. But I'll never be able to wipe it out of my own memory.

That is great celtic I lost my grandmother 11 years ago and still miss her everyday. When all of us grand kids were young she bought us all blankets with animals on them mine was a blanket with panda bears on them. i am the only one out of us grand kids that still has the blanket and I actually just put it up in my sun porch the other day. I was also able to get a few of her sweaters that she wore, my favorite is this one that us grand kids made her with all of our hand prints on it in paint and with our names under it. they may not seem like much but I am so glad I have them.
If I were to choose another memorable gift that blanket would definitely top the list and I am now wishing I had chosen that one....
Thanks for your response celticeagle and Happy holidays

Must be a great memory! Better than gold.

Oh gosh that is so wonderful dorann...I bet it is just beautiful with the stained glass....thanks a bunch for sharing

Those items are always the best to get..I have a few items of my grandmother as well and I absolutely adore them. She has been passed for almost 12 years now but when I see these items they always take me back to like they were yesterday..Thanks a bunch for your response antique
