We truly enjoy them all, from the cozy leather arm chair to the Gray Malin in the living room (our first major art investment) but I would have to say that one of the few
items in the house that actually holds special
sentimental value to me is the beat up, old long - handled step stool in the kitchen that we call «
Little Edgar.»
They now get fragrance
items (i've been buyin on ebay lately because things are so expensive and I am not getting bonuses very often at work), maybe a piece of jewelry if I can afford it, a framed picture, something for their bulletin board / room, sometimes neat pens / pencils / paper pads and art supplies, DVDs, games,
little scrapbook things that I make for them, and we try to give them one of the
little treasure
items that belonged to either my husband's parents or my grandparents (handing them down something that has
sentimental value - sometimes it's an odd thing like a slide rule for my son, a crocheted doily for my daughter, etc...).
