      My favorite gift to give is a handmade, photo ornament. I love making them for family members and friends, using a special picture of them from the previous year. Such a sweet keepsake that means more and lasts longer than traditional gifts.

    • November 5, 2014 at 9:29 AM

      I enjoy giving away homemade items, whether it be quilts, pie filling, jam, wreaths, or sugar scrubs. I think it means more than a storebought item because time is a precious commodity.

    • November 5, 2014 at 9:35 AM

      To the grandparents, I love giving photobooks . All the pictures I take of my kids published in a hardback book. It’s their favorite. For people who dont need to be overwhelmed with a year’s worth of my kids faces, I love giving books suited to their preferences.

      November 5, 2014 at 9:58 AM

      I love giving gifts that someone wouldn’t buy for themselves. My stepmom does amazing stocking stuffers this way- that pricey kitchen tool that you wanted but it would have been a splurge, the Essie nail polish that is $8 and you keep passing by thinking “I don’t need to spend $8 on nail polish. I could put that towards something we really need.”, or the beautiful notepaper that is completely unnecessary but you automatically write more letters now that you have it. Massage gift cards, mani/pedis…the things that give you small joy or relaxation or happiness that you don’t always do for yourself!

      The camera lens is a perfect example for me…I love taking pictures with my iPhone and have wanted to take a photography class. And get a real camera! It might be the tail wagging the dog, but winning a great lens would put “nice camera” at the top of my list this year. :-)

    • November 5, 2014 at 10:02 AM

      My favorite gift to give is a random gift. Not a gift because it’s “required” due to a certain holiday. But that one gift you saw somewhere that made you think of a person and got it for them just because.
      Those are the best to give and to receive!

      I love giving books, especially to children. I love the idea that I’m giving a child a doorway to a whole new world to explore.

      I also enjoy giving handmade jewelry. This year I might also give some “recipes in a jar” with ingredients layered decoratively in a glass mason jar.

      My favorite gift to give out is hosting a Reindeer Games Brunch for my family. We all dress in PJS, play games (even adults participate), eat to our hearts content, and then take pictures in a “photo booth” complete with props. My family isn’t one to be goofy, but at this brunch we share SO many laughs that it’s now been a gift to do every year.

      I love buying friends and family small gifts that help them in little ways. For instance, my mother in law’s necklaces always get tangled when we travel, so I found a great little jewelry pouch for her to put them in so they stay organized.

I love giving time to my 19 year old grandson, Kyler, who has lived with us since he was in 3rd grade. I love giving time to my children for whatever they need me for. Time for my mother in law who resides at a local nursing home. Time to all the great little families and kiddos that I photograph. There is no better gift than the gift of time!

      My favorite gift can’t be narrowed down to a particular item. I like giving that one thing someone will really enjoy or really wants. It warms my heart to see the genuine smile of enjoyment rather than the gratefulness of something I think is a good gift but they may not really like or want.

    • November 5, 2014 at 10:27 AM

      My favourite gifts to give are usually homemade, either baked goodies or pictures of the kids to family. I also love giving people the unexpected, like I gave my Dad a Go-Pro Camera in August because he was going fishing on the ocean and using his little camera phone just wasn’t as safe as being able to strap a camera to your person. It wasn’t for any particular occasion, just a because I wanted to gift. :)

    • November 5, 2014 at 10:29 AM

      My favorite gifts to give is something handmade, personal, or unexpected. The favorite gift I’ve ever been able to give is a huge Craftsman toolbox given to my husband as a college graduation gift. We were really struggling financially to get him through college and I sold various handmade items on the side, secretly saving as much as I could. His hobby is buying, fixing, and selling cars…it got us through his college career without having to take out any student loans! He was THRILLED with the toolbox and uses it almost every day when he gets home from his desk job to tinker out in the garage for awhile. :)

So, I like to have an annual party and invite all my friends and family. And every year it gets a bit bigger. I make lots of food and punch. I take lots of photographs and share them with all the guests. A lot of the time it will be the only day some of us see each other all year!

    • November 5, 2014 at 10:39 AM

      my favorite gift to give is something for the home like a picture frame or a decoration. I know a lot of times when it comes to spending my own money, decorations are categorized into wants instead of needs and often get passed by. I feel like I should be spending my money on needs. I like to help other people with this in case they do the same thing.

I also like to print out pictures to tape on the wrapping instead of using tags or writing on them. I’m the only one in the family who does this, so everyone knows who they are from, and the younger kids who can’t read yet can help had out presents during Christmas because they can see who the present is for!

      I love to give gifts that are homemade and personal. Taking pictures is one way that I do that. Giving gifts with the smiling faces of your loved ones is always welcomed and never returned.

      I love giving the gift of experiences. A trip to the zoo or aquarium especially to little ones I think instills a sense of wanderlust. I think both your time and creating new experiences with the ones you love and making new memories together is by far better than any toy you could possibly pick up. And the memories last a lot longer, just like capturing a picture.

    • Michele Gillo
      November 5, 2014 at 11:27 AM

    • November 5, 2014 at 11:38 AM

      I love to give something personal. Last year I gave all of my nieces and nephews handmade dress up boxes w/ costumes (this year I’m hand painting wooden dolls…not amazingly but something they’ll have forever…hopefully) and I gave their parents photo books….

      Long-winded answer to say something personal! lol

      my favorite gift to give is anything personal to that person. something they love and cherish. Whether that be a super cute sweater they have had their eye on, or a picture frame with their loved ones in it. If I know the gift will put a smile on their face then that’s what makes it the best gift. its one of the most fulfilling feelings in the world. :)

      I have always wanted to give away a car. Don’t know why, but always have. Last year I was able to accomplish that. My friend was in desperate need of a car since winter was coming and she was always walking to work. My mom had an old van sitting around not being used. So I bought it from her and surprised my friend with a car!! It was awesome and I was able to check that off my bucketlist!!

    • November 5, 2014 at 11:44 AM

      YOU KNOW, I’D HAVE TO SAY THAT MY FAVORITE GIFT TO OFFER IS A SMALL PHOTO ALBUM OF “THOW-BACK” PHOTOS. PHOTOS PEOPLE DIDN’T KNOW YOU HAD, OR PHOTOS OF EVENTS THEY HAD LONG FORGOTTEN ABOUT. IT ALWAYS PROVOLKS LAUGHTER AND MAKES PEOPLE TAKE A MOMENT FOR THEMSELVES AND JUST ENJOY THEIR OWN MEMORIES.

      AND THAT, MY FRIENDS, IS THE BEST GIFT TO GIVE….THE GIFT WHERE APPRECIATION IS BUBBLING THRU EACH EXPRESSION THEY FLIP THRU THE ALBUM. IT’S A GIFT THAT CREATES A RECESS FOR THE RECEIVER!

      AND YOU CAN ASK ANY 4TH GRADER IF THEY LIKE RECESS …. AND YOU CAN ASK ANY ADULT IF THEY LIKE RECESS ………….. VOTE WOULD BE HANDS-DOWN UNANIMOUS!

      This is a difficult question. I love to give gifts that I know the person will truly love. The “what” varies from person to person. Slowing down and giving the gift of time and self is often the gift that I rarely regret giving.

      I usually think of something that I’ve purchased or have been given recently that I find useful or that I’ve fallen in love with, then I purchase several and give them away as gifts. Most recently, I gave away infusion pitchers (those pitchers where you can add herbs, fruit, etc. to your desired beverage to infuse it with flavor without bits floating around in the water).

      I love to give sentimental gifts… an ornament with a picture of someone who’s passed, a framed photo of a loved one with the recipient, old shirts made into a pillow or blanket, a piece of knitting in a shadowbox, a watch that has been refurbished, etc.. I learned a lot about heirlooms from my husband’s family, and sentimental gifts that honor someone’s family history are truly my favorite to give.

I always think of what I would want and this is it pics with my kiddos. I always see so much expression when they receive absolutely love doing this every year. Priceless

      I enjoy giving something that the person wants or needs – and if I cannot pick up ideas or hints during conversations I like to give a Spa Day – because most of us love them but not many of us book ourselves in for a massage or pamper day!! –
      Or a ‘day’ doing something that they want to learn. I was given a photographic workshop day with a well known Photographer/tutor and I was thrilled alll day and everyday since because it took my photography to the next level.

    • Kara
      November 5, 2014 at 1:14 PM

      • Luba
        November 5, 2014 at 2:18 PM

        I should have said something about my favorite thing for a gift, so here it goes – I like to buy or make unexpected, but most wished presents – the look on his or hers face is worth of every effort it take to get it.

    • November 5, 2014 at 1:42 PM

      My favorite gift to give is some of my photos either in a calendar or canvas prints. I think they make great personalized gifts for my friends and family.

    • November 5, 2014 at 1:43 PM

      framed photos!

    • November 5, 2014 at 1:45 PM

      My favorite gift to give is the one that the receiver will actually use and has a need or want for. I know that’s pretty generic, but each receiver has different needs and wants! The best is simply a gift that fits the receiver. :)

    • November 5, 2014 at 1:46 PM

      My favorite thing to give away is Love, Hugs & Kisses to people who don’t know what that is. Sometimes you can look at a person and see that there is no love.

      Most times Its family members. I personally go to my families who don’t know what it is or how to receive Love and say “I Love You” or Give a Big Bear Hug. And lots of times they don’t understand and look at me literally Puzzled. I just smile and say, “it’s OK”. I love you unconditionally. That’s just me.

    • Jillian Boshkoski
      November 5, 2014 at 1:48 PM

      I like to give a gift that someone wouldn’t buy for themselves…something as simple as a nice smelling candle (I hate spending money on candles – they’re kind of expensive, but love having them in my house!), or a gift certificate for a massage or beauty salon.

    • Susan
      November 5, 2014 at 1:49 PM

      My new favorite thing is to photograph something special for that person and frame it. My children’s teachers get a framed photo of the school, or a photo of a the statue outside. It looks amazing in b/w.

      My favourite gift to give is something a person wants that they may have mentioned in passing or without realizing it. Often people want a beautiful photograph, even if they don’t know it until they see it, and when they unwrap it, it touches them deeper than any material gift could, because photography reaches beyond the material.

    • November 5, 2014 at 1:53 PM

      My favorite gift to give is framed prints :)

      I love finding out what is special to people, like coffee, favorite drink, food, jewelry. Whatever that person is really into. Meaning I had to take time to listen and get to know them to find out the best gift for them!

      There is nothing more personal than a nice picture, from a canvas to a small decoration. It’s so fun trying to find which picture the person would love!

    • Morgan Higgins
      November 5, 2014 at 2:07 PM

      my favorite gifts are small and personal. Photos of a special day or memory together have to be my favorite. I also love giving “experience” gifts, like a special trip ( just the two of us) to a show, a fun new shop, or a favorite eating place. I find that time together is usually the best gift I can give.

    • November 5, 2014 at 2:31 PM

      I truly love giving a photo shoot to people. It doesn’t bother me to not get paid. I grew up struggling financially here and there and people always gave and helped my family. Now that I have a family of my own, I want to pay it forward and give “memories” to people that can’t afford a GOOD professional photo shoot!! I just like making people happy and feel good about themselves!!!

      My favorite gift to give is a photo, poster print, canvas print or album. Something I’ve taken that would mean something to the person/family I am giving it to. Most people don’t bring their cameras to events and get-togethers anymore so it’s nice to bring back a memory for someone when they didn’t know a photo existed.

    • Nancy Keller
      November 5, 2014 at 3:09 PM

      It seems that no matter how much I spend on a gift the most favorite seem to be ones that I have made. Whether it be baked goods, candy or a simple photo, these always seem to bring the most joy, and that is what giving gifts is all about!!

      last year, with the project 365 …i have gained so much in learning to shoot manual, and i think i will make a photo coffee book for my mum, so that she can be proud of me and show it to her friends and relatives back home in Singapore of my photography :D

      My favorite type of gift is anything that speaks and love and care for the individual, such as home baked yummy treats, my time and energies participating in an activity with the recipient that they love but perhaps me not so much, or a heartfelt candid photo of the recipient and / or someone they love.

    • Carrie
      November 5, 2014 at 3:43 PM

      Anything I’ve made personally. There’s just something about the time it takes to think about the person and the time spent creating that fills me with joy that I hope the recipient will share. Floral arrangements, coffee mugs, hot cocoa mixes, ornaments, etc.

    • November 5, 2014 at 3:47 PM

      Even before entering this wonderful world of photography my favorite gift to give was always photos. For years now, I have purchased collage frames and put pictures inside of the frame for the person I am gifting. One year it was for my mom after her Pomeranian of 14 years passed away. I have done one for my sister for her 16th birthday of pictures of us together when we were little. I did another one for my mom after my grandmother passed away. Even before I ever purchased my first DSLR I was obsessed with taking pictures and creating items for people that they connected with and would treasure!

I also love giving free Photo’s When you truly know that one person who desperately wants a Pic of their family but can not afford it. I do cherish the moment that I tell them that it is free.

    • Elizabeth
      November 5, 2014 at 6:00 PM

      I try to notice throughout the year if someone says they are interested in something, and then gift them with that exact thing later. It means so much to people that you were paying attention and remembered what they like!

    • Eliza
      November 5, 2014 at 6:02 PM

      I love putting quotes on a canvas with a background. I usually paint them when I get bored. Or a letter with pictures of me and the person. Really just something for the person to remember me with.

      I don’t have a favorite gift to give. Giving and receiving gifts is not one of my “love languages,” so it’s actually really hard for me — especially when I’m on the receiving end. Even though my favorite gift to receive is cash, I always think I’m being lazy or impersonal when I give cash as a gift. :) Anyway, thanks for the chance to win!

      My favorite thing to give are my prints. Whether they are the photographs a family member asked me to take or the little things I see that spark memories for friends or family. One that I gave to my mom was a photo of a dock at my brother’s house. I framed it and stamped mine and my husband’s thumb prints in the shape of a heart in the corner. (Side note, my brother has been in the Navy for about six years now, so my mom really misses him) Thought it was a great gift for her to remind her of both my brother and me. : )

      It would have to be a giftcard. As generic as it sounds, it forces you to have to spend the intended money on yourself at a specific place, or store and you still get something of your choosing. Because let’s be honest, as a mom, if I’m given cash, it will end up going to my kids or on bills. I can’t give away a giftcard!!

      My favorite thing to give is something meaningful on their list of loves that they won’t/haven’t got for themselves. :) I keep a list of things I notice those around me love so I can remember those special little random things for holidays, or even just a spontanious day.

    • November 6, 2014 at 3:01 AM

      When I can, I really like to think about the person and choose something special just for them. So it varies every time. So the basic criteria would be: thoughtful, meaningful, and normally requires time.

      My favorite gift to give is usually something made from the heart. I really like to give photo DVD’s. I make movies with photos and video clips. They are time consuming, but they are so much better than receiving a gift that is purchased at the store. I also like to give custom gifts made out of photos such as mugs, keychains, etc.

I made my nephew’s with a different superhero on each letter. I made my niece one with a different princess theme on each letter. I recently took maternity shots (my first ever photo shoot) of my sister, & I plan to make her something with one of these….maybe a clock for the nursery.

      My favorite gift to give is something handmade that is still readily used. This last year I gave all my girl friends bath salts. Not something traditional but it still reminded them to take a break once in a while. I had so many requests for refills I could barely keep up!

    • Kayla
      November 6, 2014 at 10:17 AM

      I don’t think gifts need to be big or showy but they have to mean something. A memento from a special event with someone, a book you know they’ll love, or a cute little accessory you know goes with them.

      I’m back. I already commented on my favorite gift to give. But, I had to say more. I have been to every single blogger in the give away. What a great bunch of creatives. I’m so glad you lead me to all of them. I do want to tell you that your giveaway is my favorite. It’s like my bestie was planning a birthday surprise just for me. Keeping my fingers crossed.

      Uh oh. Apparently I didn’t already tell you my favorite thing to give. I love to give adventures. One year we made my daughter a hiking kit complete with new boots, a walking stick, water bottles, a nature journal, trail mix, and the promise of at least one family hike a month for an entire year. It was GREAT!

    • Giselle

      I love giving something that is meaningful. It doesn’t matter if it’s small, it’s great when it has a deeper meaning. I also love giving handmade things, mostly crafts. It’s great because it’s unique and you put your hearts into it, you spend your time doing it. I love those kinds of gifts :)

    • November 6, 2014 at 8:36 PM

      I absolutely LOVE making homemade gifts. My favorite is creating photo books and giving them to people we do not see very often so that they can see what we have been up to. I also like to make a “Goodie Jar” filled with fun and creative things to do or special notes to remind that person why you love them. I did this for my husbands 28th birthday and he loved it!!

I want to make sure they know without a doubt I took time to find them something special and thoughtful!

      It really depends on the person receiving the gift, but Christmas a couple years back I did “25 days of random acts of kindness”, and I believe it was as much a blessing to me as it was to those that received the gifts….so it light of that I would say the “unexpected gift of joy” is my favorite gift to give.

      I love to listen to what people say in conversation and then give them the thing that they let slip that they really want. I’ve given everything from “I’ve always wanted a tool chest to put all of my tools in” to “I love Monsters Inc. and got the Sully on my desk from McDonald’s but they were all out of Mike” (I found him on E-bay). People are always surprised…shocked…elated to get the one thing that they casually mention they’ve always wanted.

      When I had my first child, I discovered how awesome a really great baby blanket can be….for a momma! I had received so many run of the mill, just your average, looks-like-it-came-home-from-the-hospital baby blankets that I didn’t even know there was anything different. Then I got THE. BEST. BLANKET. EVER. It was everything- soft enough to mirror your baby’s skin, thin enough to use for swaddling, sturdy enough not to pill in the wash, warm enough for the Fall change in temperature, big enough to drape over the car seat and hide the baby.. should I go on? My life had been revolutionized. Since then, my go to gift for new moms is always a really great blanket…. and monogrammed for that extra special touch!

I usually choose cooking gifts for my bachelor brother, for my mom I make a ton of gifts and add in something purchased like comfy pajamas that are warm since she gets chilly a lot, and for friends handmade gifts and something personal to their current lifestyle. Example being friend who just bought a new home will likely get something for her new place. We usually make homemade jam every year and sometimes make bath products or last two years we made homemade bird seed feeders molded in bundt pan (tied with ribbon for hanging) or smaller molds with smaller ribbon for “decorating” your outdoor trees for the birds.

    • November 12, 2014 at 1:22 PM

      My favorite gift to give is different for every person. I never know the perfect gift ahead of time. I usually make a list of people and then set out on a day of shopping. Each gift I buy is unique to that person in some way. I really enjoy shopping for new and eclectic gifts to give my family, friends, and co-workers. I get really excited when I find that “perfect” gift! Now that I am just getting into photography, I really want to do personalized photo gifts :)

      I love to give photo books. It’s too easy to not get pictures printed now, because so many are taken on phones. I still print them and put them together so people don’t have to dig through thousands of photos on their computer to find a couple of their favorites!

      I love to give photo books, movie gift cards, and flowers. The books use my time and photos to make, not everyone always has the extra cash to enjoy that special movie in a theater and my mother once told me she had never gotten flowers before as a gift for a holiday. She loved it. I began noticing people I know didn’t get flowers, so I started giving them.

      November 12, 2014 at 2:10 PM

      My favorite thing to give is a “surprise” memory. Many times I didn’t have the money to buy gifts and i desperately tried to think of ways to show a person I didn’t forget them. I was often ashamed because I felt my gifts didn’t measure up. Not any more. I’m always pretending to take test shots or adjusting my settings when actually, I’m taking a moment shot of the person. I won’t show then until perhaps a year or so later as a black&white gift. I have blown away so many people because they had no idea when I took their photo and they tell me it’s the best gift they have ever received.

      I love to give the gift of an experience. Tickets to a great event, museum or something they might be interested in but would never give to themselves. I also love to give massages gift certificates. NO clutter and great memories!

      I LOVE Advent calendar gifts. I do one for each of my five kids plus my husband. It’s so much fun picking out little gift items, writing notes, and filling their calendars with Christmas love.

      I love to give anything personalized. It says that I put some thought into my gift and didn’t just run into a store to buy it :)

      Every year, I try to watch and listen to each gift recipient. If I hear them say something like, “I love those red gloves,” or “I haven’t seen a movie this year”, I tuck that information away and make sure that they receive whatever it is that I have heard them comment on. When they get their gift, they always look so surprised and usually ask, “How did you know?” (Wink, wink…they forgot!) I also try to incorporate a homemade gift as well.

      My favorite gift to give is a mix in a jar along with a cookie cutter or something that goes with the mix! Not only does it look nice, but it promotes family time. People are so busy that they forget the littlest things make the best memories!

    • Kristen Yankovich

      My favorite gifts are those that are homemade, such as creative ways to give photos of the kids to grandparents, or a piece of furniture for my daughter’s American Girl dolls that is not only much more affordable, but also customized to be more of what she would like.

      I love to give gifts that are unexpected and especially when it cheers a person who needs it. Something simple but meaningful. If I have photographed them or their dog , a print always brings a smile.

      My favorite gift to give is something personal that the receiver would love to have for themselves, but wouldn’t indulge themselves in…. I also like to give gifts when they are least expected or just to say thank you.

    • Lisa Sears

      My favorite gifts to give are handmade by myself, my husband and now my daughters are old enough to help too.
      For family members, I like to give sentimental gifts so grandparents get lots of gifts involving pictures or handprints etc. for example, a fleece blanket with knotted fringe (no sew, easy to make) where I printed photos of all the grandchildren and great grandchildren on fabric paper and sewed them on the top piece of fleece before adding the bottom piece. Eleven years later, those are still being used and new updated ones have been requested lol
      For female friends of ours I love to gift baskets filled with items to pamper themselves (handmade mostly, eye masks, sleep masks, body scrubs etc, room diffusers) and if they have children I add babysitting dates to give them time to enjoy their gift.
      We also have a tradition of making old fashioned hard rock candy, sometimes called glass candy for gifts. It has become a big part of our holiday festivities to make what we call napalm (it’s made by boiling corn syrup & sugar to 395 degrees hence the name)

      I generally like giving gift certificates for gifts as I think it’s better to let them decide on what to buy.

      My favorite is giving photo books or photo calendars. For one calendar project, I collected old family pics from all of our extended family along with comments/special memories from each one (except the littliest ones who weren’t old enough to contribute). I put each person’s photo & their comments on the month of that person’s birthday. My mom absolutely loved it.

      One of the many things I love to do is take pictures for families who aren’t able to afford them… I have always had a special place in my heart for families who have sick children and want to give to them my fullest attention. “It is better to give than to receive”
