Unique Gift Giving At Christmas

What I want is for you to tell me what unique way you’ve ever been given a Christmas gift.
One year my husband bought me a diamond ring and hung it on the tree with the ornaments. I almost tore the tree apart trying to find it!
Another year he bought me a ring I’d been asking for and when he brought me a drink, as I tilted the glass there was my ring in the bottom!! I love when he surprises me like this.

What about you? Have you ever received a gift in a unique way? Or maybe you did the giving.

NO, THIS DOES NOT HAVE TO BE A POEM.
YES, PLEASE ENTER AS MANY TIMES AS YOU WANT.
JUST PLEASE MAKE SURE WHAT YOU WRITE IS TRUE.

Also you might want to check out the mate to this contest.

You might also enjoy it.

Please no adult content, so all ages can enjoy this. Thank you.

Teeth chattering, clicking carelessly
while huddled round the roaring fire;

Feeling Low at Christmas

Sure I let the cat out of the bag.
It is hard to think nothing that day wouldl come.
It was just the oven she wanted.

Thankyou so very much for giving me a placing in your wonderful contest.
I have thoroughly enjoyed reading the other entries, and have smiled, laughed and had tears come to my eyes when reading.
This has brought some beautiful emotions of love and giving.
