Hi, thanks for all the great fun, freebies and coupons.. I am jumping in but not crazy about being first, haha I don't think the random generator likes 1's.. but hope I am wrong:) Thanks again, it's great fun, and thanks to Sara, very nice of her!
Oh, I have been drooling voer sarah's actions for a long time now! Maybe this is my chance to finally get some of them! :D
I have a lot of memorable christmas gifts, but the one I remember best was from my aunt. I think I was around ten years when she got me concert tickets for me and her to see Backstreet Boys! I adooored them and was in heaven.
I too have lots of memorable gifts but my gift last year from my husband was the most memorable b/c I was pregnant, never had a massage before and he surprised me by getting me a mommy to be massage. I cried when I opened the gift.
My most treasured gift was a wire + beaded cross that had been HANDMADE by a dear friend and co-worker. She spent hours bending heavy wire into a curved-cross shape, resulting in callouses and cuts across both hands that did not heal for weeks. Each time I look at my gift I am reminded of the great love of a friend and the pain she endured to make it for me. Take a look: http://nolatari.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/wire-cross.jpg
I just purchased some actions from her!! And I would LOVE more! :)
Anyway, one of the most memorable Christmas gifts I received was from my Grandma, after she had passed away. Apparently she would buy things throughout the year for her grandkids, so when she passed away, my mom and aunts went through all her stuff, and decided to give those things to the grandkids for Christmas. She gave me some bear salt and pepper shakers, (which my sister ended up breaking...totally broke my heart! lol) but I will always remember that!
Thanks again! :)

thanks for the chance to win, my most memorable gift was a scarf my friend had handmade from scratch and its kept me warm ever since!
Hmm I never got a Christmas gift in my life LOL. We do celebrate Hanukkah though, but no gifts :) Thanks for the chance though!
My husband (boyfriend at the time) gave me an aquarium which, by the way, I had NO idea I even wanted. I set it up as a salt water tank and it turned out to be the best gift I have ever received! It gave me daily enjoyment for over fifteen years.
I love Sarah's actions and your sample looks amazing!
My most memorable gift was my daughter, she was born on Christmas Eve 6 years ago.
I love Sarah's action - thanks for hosting this fabulous give away! My most memorable present(s) at Christmas would have to be from my grandma, who has passed away. All the little doll blankets and clothes and crocheted stars for my christmas tree are beautiful things I have able to pass on to my granddaughers over the years.
oh, what a great giveaway... my most memorable Christmas gift was bringing home my daughter on Christmas day in 2005.
My son made me an adorable clay jug when he was little. I still have it.

My memorable gift was last year and it better be memorable because it's also my gift for the next 10 years worth of Christmas, birthday, anniversary and anything else my husband wants to get out of :)
He got me a 5DmkII with 24-105 L lens as a combined birthday and Christmas pressy (I usually get combined gifts because my bday is right after Christmas).
I was going to get myself the 5DmkII anyway eventually but it was so much nicer to get it as a gift and the lens was an extra special surprise because I had planned on making do with the lenses I already had but I wont say no to another nice lens :)
I use my new camera every day and every time I thank my wonderful DH.
Last year my DH got me my SLR! It was a surprise, because we were a bit tight with money and had decided to wait, but he got it anyway! ;)
Yes! Great giveaway! My favorite Christmas gift ever is actually this year. My husband got me a kindle! Always wanted one, we travel a lot and I love to read, but I hate to carry the books!!
I really want another chance to win!!!

My most memorable christmas gift was the manger I got from my husband 3 years ago. I am collecting Hummel figures (very known and very expensive in Germany) since many years. I said to my husband that I would love to possess the manger with the holy family. I thought about buying each year one figure and then to have the complete set in a few years. On Christmas Eve 2006 I stood in front of our tree looking at it and did not even realize that something was different. Then my family said I should have a closer look on the manger. My crazy husband had spent a fortune and bought the whole manger with all persons, animals and what ever was available. I could not believe it. I laid into him for having spent so much money but the year after the company who produced it got bankrupt and I am not sure if I would ever had got the whole collection together. But as I love it so much it stays in my living room the whole year.
Well, a long story, but this is my most precious christmas gift.
Regards
Corinna
The most memorable gift I got for Christmas was my camera. Merry Christmas!
Probably my most memorable gift was a cabbage patch doll when i was 7 or 8.
My most memorable Christmas gift was a gift for the little boy I was expecting from my mom during my very unplanned pregnancy 12 years ago (that most of my family wasn't happy about). That sweet little bodysuit she bought for him for Christmas was just so special to me during that time, and it ended up being the outfit he came home from the hospital in.
Oh I love these actions! My most memorable gift was an antique watch my husband got me last year. I saw it once when we were window shopping in May and never thought about it again. I couldn't believe he remembered and went back and bought it!
Wow, I am a big fan of Sarah's! What a great giveaway. Thanks to both of you!!
One memorable gift was one I received the weekend before Christmas in 1993 ... the weekend my now husband proposed to me!
Good luck everyone and Merry Christmas.
A memorable Christmas gift was the set of Nancy Drew mysteries my great aunt gave me a few of every Christmas for many years. I now have the entire set of them.
My most memorable gift was the year that Santa actually came to our house. My parents woke my sister and I up and told us they heard something outside. All four of peeked out our bedroom window to see Santa walking up to our front door and then crept to the bedroom door to see him placing presents under the tree. I can't remember what gifts we opened the next morning, but the memory of Santa's boot prints down our driveway in the freshly falling snow with stay with me forever.
ohhhh, that must be my nephew!! he was born on a xmas morning, and you'll turn 21 this week!!
I was a kid and sooo excited to have a nephew!
thanks so much Leora and Sara!!
and I twitted:

a memorable christmas present for me would be the cabbage patch doll that my grandfather bought me when i was young...
oh, what a great giveaway... my most memorable Christmas gift was .. the first gifts from my childs.... from the kindergarten
One memorable Christmas gift was the necklace my aunt bought me. It was a small gold necklace, but it meant a ton to me and I wore it all the time.
I think the most memorable gift I have gotten at Christmas was just being with family...it is not about the gifts so I really couldn't pick one :)
One of my most special Christmas presents ever was a painting by my dear and very talented childhood friend who lost his life way too soon. His mother gave it to my mom to give to me. I will treasure it always.
OHHH my... the most memorable gift I got was my first pro camera... from DH
I also tweeted about this: http://twitter.com/GabiButcher/status/6866862667
My most memorable Christmas gift?
My husband...
he proposed on Christmas Day after giving me every single gift that was on my list that year!
My most memorable Christmas gift was from my boyfriend and now my husband. We had gone out with groups of friends and when we were out shopping I noticed a print that had a message that I loved. I mentioned to him that someday I would hope to find someone who loved me like the print described. Well on our first official date we exchanged Christmas gifts. He had gotten me the print because he knew I loved it so much. We have been married for over 14 years and he does his best to treat me that way message describes.
I guess that'd be my Nikon D40x. I didn't think we had any way we'd be able to afford it, but dh pulled some strings & surprised me w/it! :)
GREAT PRIZE! Loooove Sarah and her actions:) Thanks for the chance!
My most memorable Christmas gift was my first cell phone!
My most memorable gift was my American Girl Doll (Molly) I got when I was 8. I hope to pass it on to a daughter some day!
thanks, Sarah and Leora, what a great prize! My most memorable Christmas was when my my (now) husband proposed to me. My father (Canada) was dying and this was my husband's way of reassuring him that I wouldn't be alone on the other side of the world (New Zealand).
Sarah's actions are the BEST!!
Let's see my favorite Christmas gift is probably my most used too...the first Christmas that my hubby & I were dating he got my a kitchen aid stand mixer. Even though it was a gift for me I really think he is the one that benefits most from it lol.
Wow!!! What a great chance!! I love her actions!! My most memorable gift was my son. I know, sappy right?!? lol. He was born a week before Christmas 2 years ago and that was the best thing I have ever gotten!! Thanks so much to you both for this chance!!

My most memorable Christmas gift has to pass. I will have my daughter, for one day, on Christmas as part of the 'adopt a sailor' program. This, I know, will be my most memorable gift! I love Sarah's actions. I already have a few!
Oh my goodness. I chance to win some of Sara's gorgeousness!! Thank you!! What a great gift!
Love these actions! Had never heard of it until now! Would love to have them! Memorable Christmas gift...my husband gave me a video camera when I was pregnant with our first daughter! Loved that he thought we would need it!
I don't tweet, does that disqualify me? Anyway, I remember one year when DH and were married for about 10 years. I was wanting some nice silk pjs. He gave me the box, that looked like it was perfect for the pjs, but it was heavy. OK? I opened the box and ontop of my nice silk pjs were kitchen utensils!! Very funny!
Thank you so much for this opportunity!!! One of my best gifts I've ever gotten was a Disney-scene in porcelain from the famous scene where Mickey Mouse is decorating the Christmastree and Pluto is chasing Chip & Dale!!! It's sooo gorgeous!!! I do not have Twitter, but I made a post at my blog, though: http://scrappysmile.blogspot.com/2009/12/in-christmasmood-today.html
The most memorable and thoughtful Christmas gift I ever received was from my brother. He gave me a cord of firewood the first Christmas after my divorce. I had a new house with a fireplace, but couldn't afford to buy wood. I thought that was the most thoughtful and practical gift I've ever received.
One memorable gift that I received- I am looking forward to the first handmade school craft by my Kindergartner. I'm excited for many more of these treasures to come. Thanks for the prizes!
my most memorable gift came last year in the shape of 3 - mark it, 3 - pairs of slippers. Nothing else just slippers!!!!! They were lovely and cosy and now I'm ready for more!! hehehe!!!
Thanks for all the fun and freebies! My most memorable Christmas memory is when I was about 7 yrs old I had a box under the tree that was the size that a 50" screen tv could fit in and of course I was excited for Christmas morning, so it finally arrives and I get to open my huge box and well I open it and inside that box is another box and so on and so on until I get down to this small box which when I open had a package of baby diapers in it and my lip instantly dropped down to the floor while my parents were laughing their butts off. I was so crushed and started crying running up to my room when they gave me my real gift which was $500 cash to spend the next day at the mall on what ever I wished. Funny parents, huh :-)
I am drooling over these!!! Thanks for the chance:)
I remember getting a bicycle when I was about 11. I really had been wanting a ten speed and my dad had it all put together in the garage, but when I did not see it I was heartsunk, since it was really the only thing I wanted. I got the good news in my stocking...when I unrolled a scroll with a cut out from a magazine of a bicycle! I was sooo excited!
I'd have to say my most memorable Christmas gift was one that I received on Christmas Eve 2003, when my little Grace entered the world. Truly a blessing!
I blogged about this too
http://pearldesigns.wordpress.com/2009/12/20/how-generous/
Thanks for the extra chance:)
I just purchased some actions from her!! And I would LOVE more!
When I was small,
was the best gift for Christmas, the snow.
I then got a sleigh gift from my parents, I still have today, that was my best Christmas gift.
My best and most beautiful gift to our time, is that I can spend Christmas with my daughter.
I fell in love with Sara's actions and use them constantly!
My most memorable Christmas was the year I got a diary from my great Granny. I was about 11. It started my passion for journaling and writing and it is neat to go back adn read what was important to me a such a young age.
I think my most memorable present was a bottle of designer perfume and card that my oldest son bought me for Christmas. It was the first gift he ever picked out, wrapped and shipped to me once he was out on his own. It was DK and the smell heavenly. When I want a special memory revived, I just give myself a little misting. Other than that…I’m spoiled rotten and got way too many presents over the years. It’s hard to remember them all. Hee,hee :) Thanks for this awesome chance to win. I love her actions too!
My most memorable christmas gift would have to one I've already received this year. My youngest started school this year and his teacher put together a DVD of his class for the kids to give to their parents. I can't watch it with him around because he gets worried that I'm sad as it gets me fairly teary-eyed. Thanks for the chance to win!
oh thank so mutch for the change to winn such a super price by sarah
i love her aktions since the first day
my best christmas gift was this for this year ( i know it already ) its a new lense for my canon camera ;-)
Thanks for the great chance,
the first christmas gift I will always remember is the dollhouse and the doll shop that my sister and me get every year during our childhood years on christmas ... each year my grandma did something new within dollhouse and shop and so it never became boring to have the same present year after year ...
when my Sister and I didn't play with it anymore, my parents put it away until christmas eve it was given to us again.
wow i love Sarahs actions to and i use them all the time *gg* but there are some what i want to get it also *gg*
