***Updated with new winner: Jo has let me know that she has some of the things in the prize already and would love to pass it on to someone who could really use it. How generous!
New winner is: Karen Kuschel
My goal is to include more water coloring in my projects this year, this giveaway is great for that! I always give my daughter a monthly subscription to something she loves as she lives in Chicago away from is and I like it that it reminds her she has a fan club close at heart. This year is teas of the month. She can think of us and how much we support her as she relaxes with her special teas each month. ❤
***Updated with WINNER: Congrats Jo Anne Malicoat who said "I don't know if this qualifies as a "gift" exactly, but an elderly woman uses the same vet as we do, and I was in there one day and overheard her making payment arrangements because her sweet kitty was sick and she couldn't pay. So after she left I settled her bill for her and asked the vet to keep it anonymous. I felt so good knowing she wouldn't have to worry about that any more.". I truly enjoyed reading all of your stories about the wonderful and thoughtful gifts you gave this year. Thank you all for hopping along. Comments are now closed :)

Now retired, I use my nursing background to care for my 88 year old dad, who still lives alone. Though hard at times, caring for my dad is as much a gift to me as it is to him.

The most thoughtful gift.... hmmmm.... Well I made 5 different types of Jams for neighbors and friends and family, took me all summer as fruit became available and the Jalepenos rippened in my garden. In my opinion the best gift is handmade and from the heart. Happy New Year.
Posted by: Melissa Sugden | January 01, 2020 at 06:35 AM
I didn't give any particular one that held more meaning then another. This christmas I have a job and was able to do more for my family!

I did a teaching prac in kindergarten, and got the kids to all paint pictures of Rudolph, which I photocopied and turned into Christmas cards. They all wrote (in their cute crazy writing) “merry Christmas from (name)”.
I hand delivered them to two local aged care facilities. Felt amazing!!! Merry Christmas Cheiron!! Hope 2020 is amazing for you xoxox
Ps I don’t mind not being in the giveaway due to being in aus but I wanted to post a comment :)

We recently moved south and near the shore. Dec 26 family walked the shore and collected beautiful shells. We placed a Dec 26 shell in each person's stocking at the up north big family gathering.
Posted by: Cindy Adler | January 01, 2020 at 10:19 AM
I suppose my care, love, support of my daughter & her 2 sons might be the most thoughtful, though I don't think of it that way. I'm fortunate to be able to share our home with them. Some of my friends think me crazy, but I love it!
Posted by: Nancy | January 01, 2020 at 10:47 AM
I honored my father in law with a donation of a new water pump for a well in South Sudan. I also gave him the book that my 6th grade students read that inspired me to make the donation. A Long Walk To Water by Linda Sue Park. I loved doing this!
Posted by: Amy Taylor | January 01, 2020 at 11:18 AM
I think the most meaningful gift I gave this year was a needlepoint tissue box that took me 2 years (on and off) to make. I gave it to my best friend who appreciates handmade gifts. Happy New Year!

I gave my sister (and me) a week long beach vacation ... I love getting to spend time with her exploring.
Posted by: SmilynStef | January 01, 2020 at 11:49 AM
I was able to surprise our son with a gift from something he said but was not asking for us to give him. The look on his face when he opened the box was priceless!
Posted by: Laurie G | January 01, 2020 at 12:07 PM
The most meaningful gift.....I think was time. I've been much more intentional in my relationships this year. Also, my kid loved his hoverboard :)
Posted by: Jane Bosi | January 01, 2020 at 12:13 PM
My husband is very proud of his service to his country in the US Navy during the Vietnam War. He is also very proud of being a Master Mason. My meaningful gift to him was a lapel pin and car decal that recognizes that he is both.

I go to two different Christmas parties where the gifts have to have a handmade component. It is so much fun to see how this translates into the gifts we give and receive..
Posted by: Debbie Selby | January 01, 2020 at 01:07 PM
My husband loves the Beatles and vinyl records and at a craft show I found a guy who later cuts images from vinyl records. I was able to get an old Beatle record with the shape of the Beatle heads cut out of the record. It was really cool looking and am framing it for him to hang on the wall.

I am quite proud of the gift I gave a new mom. I made her 166, 12x12 scrapbook pages of her new baby.

My father has declared he has enough things and wants us to donate in his honor instead so for his birthday and christmas I was able to donate money to a charity and then teach him about the impact his gift would make. I loved watching his reaction as he absorbed what his gift would do.
Posted by: Anna Starr | January 01, 2020 at 02:18 PM
Most appreciated gift was probably the sheet music I found that my brother has been wanting for a couple of years. Also gave him a keyboard.

I gave out over 15 sets of hand made cards as gifts this year. My favorites were those w/ sayings in German for a small group of friends. We worked together there for many years on an Army base teaching. We are getting together this spring and I wanted them to all have a set to send each other in the group. I had so much fun thinking of our time together and looking forward to the reunion.

Beautiful creations and Happy New Year! The most special gift I gave this year was a batch of his favorite cookies my mom made. She passed last year and it was such a joy to make them in remembrance of her and to bless my brother with them :) He told me they were his favorite gift this year.
Posted by: Marisa Ritzen | January 01, 2020 at 03:54 PM
The best gift that is given in our house every year is the gift of travel. Hubby and I plan a Christmas trip every year to explore, unwind and enjoy each other for two weeks over the holidays.

My favorite gift I gave this year was homemade cards. I can't believe the response people had to something that I made from the heart and they really could tell how much love I put into each one. That was so fun!
Posted by: Debra A Lockhart | January 01, 2020 at 05:25 PM
I was the recipient of one of the most thoughtful gifts. My neighbor and best friend gave me one of her snowman decorations that I just love. She wanted me get "get Christmas back". Some things happened right before Christmas that made me want to just slide through the holidays. Her gift just warmed my heart. It truly gave me hope that 2020 will be better!
Posted by: Lana Lepinski | January 01, 2020 at 05:34 PM
I love the rainbow colours in your cards. My most meaningful gift was a set of cards I made as a hostess gift for a friend. We had not spent much time together in almost 40 years but she welcomed my family to her vacation home. We had a wonderful time together and it made me happy to give her a gift that I had made myself.
Posted by: Susan McClelland | January 01, 2020 at 06:43 PM
I loved reading everyone's comments. The only thing I made this year was 16 crochet reindeer noses. I cherish the pictures I took of all of my family wearing different color reindeer noses.

I helped my granddaughter
make a tote bag for her
friend's mother. She
hasn't done a lot of
sewing - just recently
got a machine so I
guided her in putting
it together but she did
it all herself. She
did a fantastic job.
I was so happy that she
asked me for assistance.
thanks for sharing.

After hunting all over to find a pink crystal, which stands for love and heart hugs, I found one that was wired and I was able to get a small necklace for it. On Christmas Eve when I gave it to my 5 year old granddaughter, it was her birthday, I never felt more love!

My Sister in law Judie has always supported my card making habit by purchasing various things I have made. She and her husband had their 20 yr banquet (which was a special year for them) for their martial arts studio and I made the name plates for their guests. She was very excited to get them and her guests were able to take them home as a keepsake.
Thank you for the opportunity for such a fun giveaway! LOVE the socks! Xoxo

Who doesn’t love a rainbow after the rain ☔️
The artist set card is adorable.

I'm on the House Mouse DT and I gave away so many much loved didn't want to part with them House Mouse cards so that others would be blessed and could bless others.

My most meaningful gift was time. My husband and I served dinner to gentlemen at a men's home. They were wonderful and we so enjoyed talking with them and hearing their stories.
Posted by: Mary Kay Ross | January 02, 2020 at 02:13 PM
I love your rainbow designs! My mother had a collection of teddy bears, each one named after a member of the family. When I adopted my daughter, the company went out of business and the bear with her name was no longer available. After years of searching ebay I finally found it. I was able to get her one as well as my daughter. The collection is now complete.

Posted by: Karthikha Uday | January 02, 2020 at 02:48 PM
I prepared and led a Christmas craft for my son's class. It took me several trips to the library and use of their Silhouette machine to cut the layers for the ornament. Everyone loved it and (I think) appreciated the time it took to prepare. I loved that it never once felt like a chore to me. :-) Love your site!
Posted by: Andrea Lynn | January 02, 2020 at 05:10 PM
I think the most meaningful gift I gave was right before Thanksgiving, my husband and I took a trip to AZ to go see a team he's been following for 30 years-the Arizona Wildcats. He's never seen them in their home stadium so we made that happen and had a fantastic weekend.
Happy New Year and thanks for the chance to win!

I don't know if this qualifies as a "gift" exactly, but an elderly woman uses the same vet as we do, and I was in there one day and overheard her making payment arrangements because her sweet kitty was sick and she couldn't pay. So after she left I settled her bill for her and asked the vet to keep it anonymous. I felt so good knowing she wouldn't have to worry about that any more.
Posted by: Jo Anne Malicoat | January 02, 2020 at 06:09 PM
The best gift I gave this year was a large garden banner and stand for my friend as a housewarming gift. She was so pleased, since it’s easy to see from the street. Hope you have a Happy New Year!

Hi Chorion! This year, I was offered a job with a non-profit organization that helps kids who need it the most. Every single day, i give something of myself that I had never expected to. I couldn't believe how much these kids needed me, and how important I have become to them, and they have taught me so much! It changed my life!

I wish you a happy, healthy and crafty New Year! As for meaningful gift this past Christmas, I think it would be the homemade breads I made. I enjoyed baking them for friends and neighbors.

Posted by: Beverly Sizemore | January 02, 2020 at 10:12 PM
The most meaningful gift I gave was a handmade picture for my daughter-in-law's grandparents. Their daughter passed away suddenly and they were devastated. I found a recent picture of their daughter and framed it using some patterned paper from my paper stash and some decorative die frames. They were very touched. Hope you have a happy and healthy New Year.

Dear Cheiron
A very happy new year to you and your family with gd health and happiness.
I made four stationery sets for my lovely friends complete with greeting cards with envelopes, note cards, gift tags a pen and a note book. It was all handmade with love. I even made the gift bags. It was a real labour of love. I have given two already and they loved it so much and the other two will go out this week. As the gifts were given for Christmas i even hand made the Christmas cards.
With loads of love and Gratitude

I actually reconnected this year with my 2nd gr. teacher (via Facebook). She gave me a beautiful gift by telling me that she had a piece of art I had created back in her class (in 1972). That was SO precious to see, and something that really touched my heart. Thanks so much for taking part in this amazing event of generous giving. May you all be blessed in return (in many other ways) for all the generous acts of giving.
Blessings,

Your cards are gorgeous! I love all the rainbow colors! What a super fun giveaway! I bought my 23-year old a Lego set! :) Every year when he was young we would stay up late and put together his new Legos on Christmas. I miss those days and so I bought a set and we all sat on Christmas day and put together the set! Another new memory was made! You are never too old for Legos! Happy New year!

Lovely cards! My most meaningful gift has been sharing our home with many visitors, especially an new family member by marriage who needed a break from spending all day and night at the hospital with her spouse. She came a number of times, and even after Christmas, spend a number of days with us. We gave her hospitality, but she gave us the chance to open our hearts and home to her (the bigger gift, in my mind)
Posted by: Dorothy Ayotte | January 03, 2020 at 03:31 AM

Happy New Year! I think the most meaningful gift I give is taking pictures all year of the grandkids and then putting the photos in an album. One for each of my daughters and one for my daughter-in-law. It's really fun to look back on all their activities for the year.

Happy New Year! I think the most meaningful gift I gave this year was time. Time to volunteer for needy organizations and time for the sweet little ones in my life.
