They didn't listen.
Yep, I go some typical trinkety stuff, and some has already been delivered to Goodwill.
I also got a group gift of a nice gift card to a local mall.
But...
The three gifts that really touched my heart and that I won't forget are:
A gift of three ducks that will provide food for a family through World Vision,
A gift of cash to the town food pantry, along with a bag of donations,
A donation to the food pantry in the town where I live.
I cried when I opened each one. Good thing I don't open the gifts in front of the kids.
Another spot on gift, a gift card to the Dollar Tree, where $20 is more like $50! ;) That one made me laugh!

I had no idea the Dollar Tree had a gift card available.... I can spend so much money on junk in there! :)
great gifts from great kids (and parents!)
What great gifts! If they were going to get you something, that was an awesome thing to do. :)
Perfect gifts. What a thoughtful idea! One of my small group girls gave me a dachshund calendar. You would have thought I won the lottery!
Nice! I got some Girl Scout chocolates, a Lia Sophia Necklace, and a beautiful, beautiful hand-written, homemade thank-you card (as in thanking me specifically for some things she appreciates about me).
I also got a single tealight candle, beautifully wrapped, with a sweet little note. She was positively beaming when she had me open it. So sweet.
