Belated Birthday Presents!

Yes, I give presents to friends, mostly we have been doing it lately for people who turn 50 years old. My 16th birthday meant a lot to me because I had a lot of friends over and my parents really went all out. I don't remember birthday presents that much since my birthday is Feb. 1st, so I tended to get a lot of clothes, really warm winter clothes. My husband usually takes me out to eat at Ponderosa's which has a Buffet and it's really nice to just eat and eat. Take care

Hello wondericequeen, You are very lucky that those friends of yours remember your birthday and keep the gifts till you come back *smiles* I have a friend who prepared a gift for my birthday and asked me to go to her house to get it as she was busy that time. Since I am busy too, it has been two years from the day she told me about it*sighs* I don't think she still have the gift with her anymore *laughs*

i seldom give presents and i only give to those whom i think who would really treasure them. I do receive presents but i seldom like them unless it was given by a very close friend but just the same it is not the gift that counts , it is the thought.

hi wondericequeen! ^__^ you're so lucky to have generous friends who give gifts during your birthday. its not our tradition to give gifts every birthdays. only on important occasions like debut, graduation, or Christmas. i think the most memorable birthday present i ever received was a stuffed teddy bear given to me by my bestfriend and a poem written by my ex-boyfriend. ^__^

Yes, I give presents..sometimes I just make something..it doesn't necesarily mean but your friends something as gifts..last Christmas I gave sweet candies which my husband and I made together. My most memorable birthday present..my engagement ring!! got it at the night of my birthday 2 years ago..

One of the things I love doing is shopping for gifts for friends especially for Christmas! Sometimes, I give my friends little presents even if there's no occasion. I don't know but I find joy in doing so. My most remembered birthday present I have ever received is a tour abroad given by my parents. =)

My best present was not a surprise because hubby and I usually shop together for each other's "presents" but it was last year when I got a Brother Innovis 2500D sewing machine. We've bought cars for 1/3 of what that sewing machine cost and I was apprehensive about whether I would get enough use out of it to make the purchase sensible, but I can say now it was a right decision. My overpriced computerized sewing machine rocks! Here is something I made with it, if you want to see. I drew the picture myself and then put it in our laptop computer and saved it to the memory card and then put the memory card in the sewing machine and this is what came out:
