We spend weeks thinking about the perfect gifts to give to our husbands and children over the holidays and for their birthdays. Most of us don’t ask for anything special for ourselves. But when our loved ones surprise us with a gift that really moves us, something so personal, it truly shows they care and were thinking about us, it can bring a tear to our eyes. Share your stories and memories of the most surprising and special gift you ever received!
What was the most surprising gift you've ever received?
Target and TwitterMoms want to hear about your most surprising, interesting, sentimental or creative gift you’ve ever received. Did your husband remember to buy you the special pendant you were admiring in the window on your last vacation? Did your children surprise you with flowers and breakfast in bed on your birthday? Was there a shiny red car parked in your garage waiting for you with a big red bow on top? Did your husband whisk you away on a romantic weekend away? Tell us about your favorite gift memory and how it made you feel!
