I agree with it is the thought that counts ... I know my most treasured gift I have gotten since being home was a little Chrystal Tinkerbell ... I love fairies and the child's nickname was Tink so it was an amazing little keepsake that was 'perfect' to serve as a reminder of our time together and it came accompanied with a beautiful letter and a gift card for dinner out for my spouse and I as a thank you to him as well ... for me the gift card was nice but the little 'Tink' was the truly touching part to me ... finding something that perfect and I put out her in the window of the playroom and she made rainbows all over the place and we had done this big rainbow project while her child was here ~ it was just perfect symbolism for our time together!
Me being so clueless to brand names had no CLUE what I had been given until I was out one day about a year later window shopping with a friend who had gone into a Jewellery store and dragged me along and there I SAW my TINK on display .... in a Swarovski Chrystal collectors display ... the little thing retails for $390 and I had no CLUE cause I did not know what a Swarovski Chrystal was :eek:
Needless to say I came right home and MOVED her up into my bedroom to keep her SAFE from the daycare kids all the time thinking 'omg how could they have spent so much money on ME'!!!!
