Favorite Christmas Gift - Given and Received

Given:

It was going to be an iTunes Gift Card for my husband. Joseph LOVES music and buying songs off of iTunes. This was going to be a huge surprise because all he thought he was getting for Christmas was some underwear. Ha - but I fooled him. I even wrapped it in a huge box so he wouldn't be able to guess. But it was sorely disappointing because the gift he open right before my iTunes gift card was an iTunes gift card from his brother. So the excitement kind of died away.

So instead, I pick, the Derby Day game I got my dad. When Joseph found this in it the store it took about two second to decided we definitely had to this for my dad. My dad loves to watch horse racing on T.V. and has an old racehorse he is going to bred.


Received:

My husband wrapped up an index card that lead me on a scavenger hunt around the house. I had to solve puzzles to figure out where the next card was hid.

The back of each card gave a piece of a map. And X marked the spot.


It was a temple dress. Here's the story on the temple dress: He went shopping with me two years ago to buy my temple dress. I found one that I LOVED! but the only size left was too big for me so I ended up buying a different one. He bought me the one I loved and promised that he would hem it for me. Well two years later he finally did but when he secretly packed up the sewing machine to bring to my mom's house, he forgot the foot peddle; so, he ended up sewing most of it by hand.

He also got me a new temple bag.

What was your favorite gift given and received?

Could he be any sweeter! How amazing that he did that by hand for you. I am sure that he will double love all the music he gets to buy on iTunes.
