The best gift I ever received was from BirdieBox CRO, Chrissy Dunlap. When my mom passed away, Chrissy printed several pictures of my mom and other family members on a canvas and wood picture frame. When my Dad saw the picture, he asked me if he could have it. Chrissy overheard the story and sent another picture frame to me.

My favorite gift continues to be the handwritten cards from my husband every anniversary and birthday. I’ve kept every one since we started dating. He could spend crazy money on something but what stays with me are the heartfelt sentiments and reflections of his words, and the fact he took the time to write something so thoughtful for me.

Frances Gulick

The best gift I have ever received was from my best friend. She sponsored one of the amazing women in the Black Mambas (a wildlife conservation group) in my name. I have followed the group for years. That she remembered a detail that meant to much to me, was truly touching.

One of my favorite gifts I’ve ever received was 2 years ago when my daughter gave me a 23andMe DNA Testing Box. It was my favorite gift because it was super exciting to find out the results, and share them with the rest of my family. We found out ancestry information that not even my parents knew.

Minnie Puente

The best gift I’ve ever received is from my best friend. She surprised us all with matching necklaces that symbolize grit. This gift is incredibly meaningful to me because it represents the strength we all share. Whenever I wear it, I feel deeply connected to my lifelong friends and find comfort in knowing we're always supporting each other.

The best gift I ever received was my first guitar. I had been learning on a really old one that was falling apart. I wasn't ready to spend my college student's income on a new one, so a friend got me a beautiful used guitar! It was something I would never have done for myself, but meant so much to me in the long run!

I received a surprise cake and flowers at work one year a while ago.

I was shocked but very touched since I never celebrated my birthday after I left home for college 30 years ago.

On my 30th birthday my mom gave me a note I had written when I was in 3rd grade. I wrote a letter to my future self saying I would be “Rich and retired by age 30." I’m still working, but this note gave us a good laugh and made a great memory.

The best gift I’ve received is a skateboard - as an adult! It was a meaningful message to remember your inner child, try new things, and always get back up & try again!

Favorite gift was from my wife on Christmas. I am a huge music fan and one of my favorite bands of all time is the Cure. She overheard me talking to a buddy about how cool it would be to go see them in London for their 40th Anniversary concert. Well, on Christmas morning I opened up a gift for two tickets to the show. She coordinated with my friend and bought us 2 tickets!
