I have to laugh every time someone says time is more important to them than money, or that their time is so "valuable". Really??? Seriously? God forbid you have to go to the bathroom huh?
Seriously though, stop and actually think about what you do during the day that is NOT so important, that you are "wasting" time on, and you'll see that you do indeed waste quite a bit of it. During the entire day, from the moment you get up til the time you fall asleep. Sorry, your "time" is no more important than any one else's. And it really is not "valuable". Time spent on important things, those you consider important (not someone else's opinion) is what is valuable. So if couponing is important to you, then it is just as valuable for that person as the CEO's time spent in a board meeting, for example.
People need to stop trying to make themselves feel and sound important with this "time is more important than money or my time is SO valuable" meaningless argument. Because we are not impressed.
The best gift I received would be from my parents. They gave me a roundtrip ticket to Hongkong. It was my first time to go out of the country with my sister. It was the best since I build memories, friendship and quality time. And now I'm hoping to have another trip with her. :)
My parents gave me a tremendous gift when they modeled hard work and a never-say-die attitude. This got me through some pretty challenging times later on.
The best present I got was a replacement diamond in my engagement ring. The original had fallen out and was lost. He found the ring and presented it back to me one Christmas. I was totally surprised.
The best gift I ever received was my daughter. I guess you could say my husband gave her to me. It was a long road to getting pregnant and then to getting her here, but I'm so glad she's here and can't imagine my life without her now.
I received a set of RevereWare pots and pans one Christmas from my now husband.
After 26 years of marriage, they're still like new and I use them everyday. He definitely got his money's worth.
As a child when Cabbage Patch dolls became all the rage, I wanted one for Christmas. They were all sold out at the store, so my Mamal found someone who made homemade ("certified" by Xavier Roberts) dolls, and I was so excited to get it. I still have her--her name is Crystal Elaine (after my 'newest' married into the family aunt, at the time).
It's so hard to pick one. When my daughter was small, she would make me things and of course, I loved them. Believe it or not, the best material that I liked best receiving was a DunkinDonuts gift card. I stop almost everyday on my way to work. It was so nice to just flash out my card instead of cash! (easy to please!!!)
FYI, perhaps Amazon has changed their terms. I just used two gift cards (one for $5.44 and the other for $2.33) and sent myself two Amazon e-certificates, then applied them to my account. They were delivered within seconds and I've already used them! Looks like Amazon doesn't have a minimum gift certificate amount anymore. Yay! Thanks for this article. I never would have remembered to even try Amazon without it!
One of the best gifts I received was bought from a second hand store. It was a high end food processor in like new condition. I love it and use it almost daily. I prefer used or homemade gifts over new because it's a way of making best use of existing resources.
The teacup candle idea is wonderful!! I have LOTS of teacups from my grandmother that I have saved for a very long time! Am going to make these and give to my siblings!
My parents opted to give my wife and I a honeymoon in Vegas by paying for our airfare and hotel as our present. Still forever grateful. And I liked your update on Facebook.
A really nice food dehydrator.

That's easy! The gift of salvation is the greatest gift I ever recieved
They're probably choosing to feed their families, keep their bills up to date, have health insurance...
Oh, and I like you on Facebook. (And in real life, too!)

A gift card to buy paperback books. I love reading good books and can never seem to get enough of them.
