Top 10 Best Christmas Gifts Ever
For fun, we asked our Facebook community to share stories of their
best (and worst!) Lifetime Christmas gifts. Here is our selection of the 10
winning gifts! These are quite different, but all have something in common: a
"best gift" is a gift that is out of the ordinary and has a deeper
meaning than the object or experience in question. Sometimes it's just a
beautiful childhood memory while other times it's for a laugh and in some cases
our readers have been really spoiled!
10- Music just for you
In 4th grade, Stéphanie was absolutely over the moon when she
received a radio cassette to listen to music on her own in her room, plus the
Backstreet Boys cassette! For her, it was the most beautiful freedom and she
was so excited to unwrap it that she even gave herself a blow on the nose and
she was bleeding a bit after that! Argh! We hope she laughs about it today!
9- An invisible useless cossin
Here is a very intriguing gift, which is not really one: Lucie has
already received from her sister an "useless invisible cossin". But
... what is this? It's a comical instruction manual offered in an empty box. It
serves to make someone laugh and relieve someone in situations where you feel
pressured to give a gift, the person already has everything they need, or even
hates clutter / overconsumption. For some people it could definitely end up on
the worst gift list ... But for others it is the best so again it's all about
meaning and showing the person you are knows her well - after all, that's what
matters. Hats off for daring to offer that! Lucie cried with laughter for 10
minutes anyway.
8- A great kitchen appliance
Claudie received a famous. She had dreamed of it for a long time
but she was sure it would never come true, because of the rather high price of
this little beast! But she still enjoys it today: it looks good on the counter,
it lasts for years and years, and it simplifies a lot of recipes.
7. A "water mitten"
When Anick received the greatest gift of her life, she was so small
that she couldn't even pronounce the name correctly ... It was the very first
Nintendo console! She had no idea what the real name of this game was and she
didn't even know what it looked like but as everyone dreamed about it, she had
asked her parents that ... and she had fallen in love with it. She still
remembers hours of fun and beautiful memories!
6. A day in a spa
For her 50th birthday, Ginette received a day in a spa from her two
sons. She was very cared for and she took advantage of every moment: 5
treatments, a hot bath, a cold bath and a good meal. Providing relaxation and
time for yourself to your mother is indeed a real winner. Good job guys!
5. A bicycle ... with four wheels
Sometimes the best gifts are those that make us nostalgic for our
childhood ... This is the case for Denis, who still remembers the happiness of
having received his first bicycle. This one had "Mustang" handles, a
banana seat and even two small rear wheels of course… Denis did not specify
however if he had embellished his wheels with cards or small colored balls!
4. A fishing trip
For some, the dream is to spend a few days outside of civilization,
reconnecting with nature. This is why Jean-Noël was especially happy when he
received an all-inclusive fishing trip! The story does not say if he returned
with a lot of fish, however. But probably in fact, it is secondary and that it
passes after being in a rowboat in the middle of a lake in the early morning,
hearing the loons sing ...
3. A designer creation
Josiane loves fashion, she leads a rather jet-set life and she
already has a lot of things, so it's quite difficult to give her a present that
is really out of the ordinary! But last year, without even asking her for
suggestions, her boyfriend gave her Gucci shoes! It had been his dream for
years. Good game!
2. An engagement ring
Diane still remembers very well the most beautiful Christmas
present of her life, even if it was 41 years ago ... Since her lover proposed
to her by giving her a beautiful ring. The story is already cute in itself ...
But what especially makes us crack is that they are still together today!
1. A trip to Hawaii
Marie-Élise was born shortly before Christmas and therefore for her
30th birthday, she received a simply fantastic combined gift: a trip to Hawaii
for 3 weeks! And besides, all kinds activities to do during this one, even
including a parachute jump! It was an idea of her boyfriend, who had prepared
everything secretly for several months and who had put all his family in the
coup to participate financially. After more than 10 years together, they had
never taken an airplane trip. Let's say it's all or nothing in their case!
