I have already told this story on several occasions, the best gift I have received and it is not because of the gift itself since there are things that cannot be obtained with money. The friend @felixxx sent me 200 #HBD some time ago, almost without knowing me, I only noticed that my photos did not turn out well at all and thanks to his generosity I was able to acquire a new phone with which he took better photographs, the trust he placed in me is something I will never forget since very few people share their money to help others who are practically unknown
That is so nice of @felixxx that he encouraged you to keep your journey on hive in an enthusiastic way.
Good luck with your further work on hive

I have gotten a couple of gifts in the past, both small and big but the gift I cherished the more was an old wrapper that my grandma gave me. She was like, I don't have anything big neither do I have money, but take this wrapper which I have and use it whenever you're cold. She might had seen it as a small gift, but I considered it to be big because it was all she had.

My wife and children, I don't consider them a gift, if anything a miracle, or three. My life is full of miracles.
Memorable was a chemistry set that I received one Christmas long ago, more than 50 years ago, when we moved to another country I gave it to my cousin and I remember that my aunt threatened to throw us out, toy and everything.
This year I asked my cousin, retired like me, what happened to the inherited toys, and he answered me; that almost and his grandchildren play with him.
Half a century of explosive and effervescent experiments.
I also received a chemistry set which I enjoyed very much. I remember that a microscope also arrived. At that time I dreamed of becoming a doctor. Life would take me through the computer side of things.
β
In those distant days I also received a microscope and a square-format 8-exposure roll photographic bed, but during an economic crisis they were sold, and my next camera was a color snapshot Polaroid, many years later.
Greetings GermΓ‘n, peace and happiness.

I am not the type that gets gifts often and the most memorable Christmas gift I have gotten isn't an object but a memory that I am willing to keep forever.
The memory was the last time my family celebrated Christmas as a whole, I mean a complete family. Since that time, a member of the family hasn't been here to celebrate with us.
He is doing alright and the last we celebrated Christmas together still plays in my head like it happened yesterday but it's been over a decade now.
Same here I am not lucky with people giving me gift as well

Al principio pensΓ© que seria complicado responder esta pregunta, pero luego me preguntΓ©: ΒΏcuΓ‘l regalo me conmoviΓ³ hasta las lagrimas? han sido varios, pero el primero que vino a mi mente serΓ‘ mi respuesta.
Cuando yo tenΓa 18 aΓ±os y estaba estudiando en la universidad, mi familia pasaba por un mal momento economico y yo tenia una beca trabajando en la biblioteca de la universidad. Mis compaΓ±eros de trabajo sabian de las dificultades de mi familia y en el mes de diciembre me reunieron una caja con alimentos donados por todos ellos. La caja estaba envuelta en papel navideΓ±o y tenia un lazo, venia con una carta en donde me expresaban sus mejores deseos y me pedian no sentirme avergonzada por recibir ayuda.
Estoy muy agradecida por todas las personas solidarias y amorosas que me han apoyado a lo largo de mi vida.

Your story is very beautiful. I have heard many such stories from people who help others in the most critical moments.
I received such a gift a few years ago and I am still grateful today.
Merry Christmas!

The most memorable gift I have ever got is the gift of the knowledge of playing the keyboard. I would call that a gift because the first time I ever learnt was free of charge, although I later paid to upgrade my skills. This skill has helped me to meet several music ministers and I know it will help me go places.
On my 23rd birthday, I started working towards getting myself a personal keyboard and saving commerced. A week before my 24th birthday my keyboard arrived and the joy I had was so enormous and till forever this has been my best gift.

The only memorable gift I receive is the love of my family every day!
A Michael Kors golden wristwatch, which was a birthday gift I got years ago.
At first I didn't really know that it was a wristwatch due to the way it was wrapped, but when I unwrapped it and saw the beauty lying in there, I was overwhelmed with joy, like I was hoping I was planning on how to get money to buy a new watch because the one I had got spoilt but I got a more beautiful one for my birthday.
The most memorable that I have ever got was a Christmas Ball given by my classmate when I was in High School in our exchanging gift. As a teenager back then, my wishlists were clothes or any fashion stuff, but I never expected it would be a house decoration. Funny that I had it but it's the thought that counts. Still, I was grateful because I placed it in one of our cabinets for displays. And now it was placed in the Multicab passenger type of my father that is why I could not ever forget it. Until now, it exists and I believe it was already 18 years old existing gift.

2012 was one of my best Christmas ever. Why? I got an unexpected gift from my little sister.
I was having issues with my phone at that time and had no money to get a new one. Because of my job it very suicidal for me to be without my phone for 20 minutes, talk less to not having one at all. It was a hopeless situation for me.
2 days before Christmas, my little sister came back home and gave me a brand new Blackberry Touch2 phone. I couldn't contain my joy. For me that should rank high as the best gift I have ever gotten for Christmas.
Merry Christmas in advance πππ. !AFIT
Thanks you so much for the tip. Merry Christmas to you and all that's yours.

The most memorable present I have ever acquired became a wonder ride to an exotic vacation spot. From the instant I become given the news, I felt an indescribable thrill and my coronary heart turned into full of joy. During those days, I became capable of enjoy precise adventures, find out fascinating cultures and create unforgettable recollections. It turned into the sort of unique gift that I will continually convey it in my coronary heart.

The most memorable gift I have ever received was an unexpected gift from someone I don't know. Someone came to me for help that he hasn't eaten and the only money left with me was 500 naira which I wanted to use in buying something in the evening to eat. I told him I have only this money on me but I will give him 300 and hold 200 because he looks so tired and hungry.
When I gave him this money he was so excited and then he told me it was a prank that he was only testing me and before I knew it he gave me 50 thousand naira which I didn't even see it coming I thank him so much because I was looking for that money to pay my rent and ever since then I have always remember the scene.

Happy day to everyone.
One December 20th of different years I received the most special gifts I have.
When I read the question the first thing that came to my mind were these two, the first one I waited for him since his conception for 9 months, this gift came from my mother and I love him like a son, I have taken care of him as such. He is one of my brothers.
The other one I also waited for him since his conception hehehe it was less months and since then he is the spoiled of the house. I adopted him as a gift for my other brother who has a special condition without knowing that in reality the gift was for me.
These two creatures are my most memorable gifts.

It's a bit childish and I don't know why, but something that has always stuck with me is when my parents got me a small trampoline (it was for my birthday). It was something that I had wanted for a few years and I had literally 0 expectations of getting it. I was quite little so I don't remember it, but my parents said that I spent the first night sleeping on the trampoline :D

a jacket was a gift from my girlfriend and I wear it until now. but the most are prayer gifts from my friends haha
It's hard to say, but I think the most one is a coconut from my grandma.
The memorable gift I will never forget was when my neighbor came to surprise with pants and singlet on my birthday. I am not really close to her that I wonder how she knew the date but I appreciated it.

The most precious gift I have got.... Hmmm
This sounds interesting and I got no thinking on it because I already know the answer. It might sound so typical to you all but the best gift I have got from my God is my father and my mother.
They are so kind, so supportive and also really encouraging in situations where no one stood with me. That is why I will say that they are better than most or I think all of the parents. Because I have seen many parents beating their children over small mistakes, scolding them and all that but my parents always supported me and that is why I consider it a gift of god to have such parents.
Regards. (I got something typical but has so much if it is understood with meaning)

The gift is a very precious thing and I always value the gift properly. It's unfortunate that In very rare cases I received the gift. I don't think that price is not matters in that case. So I think in my life my most memorable gift is a book given by my teacher. Still, I keep the book with me and it was a science fiction book.

There was a time when Venezuela had a very bad time.
There was no food, no medicine, and if I managed to find something I had to wait in long lines to get it if it didn't run out first.
At Christmas time that year I was alone, recently divorced, unemployed, and with all my family far away from me. I had lost considerable weight and didn't have a piece of bread to eat.
Just when I thought I was going to die one Christmas, my brother Henry showed up with a bottle of scotch and food to celebrate Christmas. Soon my beautiful friend Aracelis showed up with more food and sweets.
The two of them accompanied me on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve.
Today I can say that the most memorable gift I have received at Christmas time has been the company of angels like Enrique and Aracelis.
The best gift is love.
Merry Christmas!

I don't think some, minutes the gift of life from God, and one of my childhood coats π§₯ that lasted for 6 years π€£π€£. You know what am saying na!!! When we where small, they do buy us oversized clothes so that we can grow to it's size. Apart from that, I have been the person buying for my self.
By the grace of God tomorrow, I may write about my childhood Christmas experience. I hope it's welcome.
Thanks dear @ecency for working in making my first days Christmas wishes to come to fulfilment, I sincerely appreciate ππ½ππ½ππ½
The most special gift I have received has been my beautiful family, my beautiful children are my blessing
I have received many gifts in life that are special from work tools to a French Teflon frying pan.
But the most important gift was a watch that my dad gave me at the age of 10, it was the first thing that came to my mind when reading this post
It was a Seiko 5, I felt like a little man, the watch was bigger than me hahaha, Ion mI felt like a real little man, the watch was bigger than me hahaha, my eyes get cloudy just remembering my father who is no longer physically here, but I remember him with love.
My dad was a great man, without a doubt that is the best material gift, because later life gave me my children, which is something that nothing can compare.
Usually, I get very few gifts. Even in that, if I talk about memorable ones, then I think of the gifts given by God in the most difficult times. So in answer to your question, the most memorable gift of my life is my bestest friend, now my life partner.
