Our own final four playoffs and championship game is set for February 23. The truly special gift reflects the uniqueness and displays an investment of time, talent or imagination. Most gifts are material things. Tickets to the zoo, symphony, theater or sports events. Lessons in craft or hobby or a college course in an area of special interest.
Most gifts are new.
Old photographs of special people or events framed, collected in an album or made into a collage. Personal treasures like a cherished book, stamp collection, or piece of jewelry. Most gifts are bought. Original poems, songs or stories, framed or illustrated and bound by hand. If you're still stumped, ask five neighborhood children or friends at work or recall the most unusual or appreciated gift they've ever received or given.
