The gift-giving season is upon us in full force. What is the best thing you ever came up with as a gift for someone, or something that someone gave you that made you go WOW?
Somewhere around the 15-20 year anniversary mark I hit a wall for a creative Christmas gift for Himself. Refused to go the sox-and-undies route. Knew he liked fine brandy - well, I thought he did. He prefers cognac since it is less sweet. However, Year One I bought a bottle of a nice brandy, and a very nice Mikasa etched crystal brandy snifter. Bingo! Winner! Since then I've bought a different, quality sipping beverage each year so he can keep using the glass. He looks forward to each year's find. We made it through a lot of different cognacs and started to repeat, so a couple years ago I switched to Bourbon. Bless his soul, Himself manages to make that bottle last all year long!
Do you have a special memory of a gift given or received that was just the most perfect idea? Share, please!
