If you could give someone a well deserved gift, what would it be and why?

Help with paying taxes. ‘Cause the person I would help is a very caring individual who wishes to make life better for certain people, and is willing to make sacrifices in order to do so. So I just think helping out, in whatever way, would be nice to do for them. It’s not, like… the biggest, best gift in the world or anything, but it’d be something, I guess.

Man, a gallon of air to suck down.

Them governments taxin’ my air ain’t cheap. I’d love to just be able to breathe and breathe and breathe without worry of running out or running up a bill.

I would give my husband, the best stay at home dad ever, a week of rest and time to do whatever he wants – if I had money, I’d buy him an awesome classical guitar and a whole new wardrobe and a drum set and a new bike.

I would pay my mom a week of work and send her off to the Northeast to go whale watching again. Except this time I would be able to go with her.

I would give hubbs a job that paid him what a person with an upper-level degree should be making.

I would give my best friend her brother-in-law back.

Why? Because I love them and want to help bring joy to their lives.

i terribly badly want to get my boyfriend a jukebox.

@DrasticDreamer I think that is very nice of you. Some of the best gifts are small. I think it is the meaning and how it affect the individual you are giving it to. You sound like a very kind person. Kudos to you

I’d pay my mother’s mortgage, put down flooring for her and have her tiny backyard landscaped. She’s taken care of me in the last 2yrs, cooking for me, cleaning for me, sewing for me and taking care of the house pretty much all by herself aside from my paycheck input. My deal is I work as much as possible and give her the money but I still would feel better if she had some physical help.

I’d give them a nohohon zoku. Guaranteed to make anyone smile. With it being solar powered, it’s a guaranteed smile for as long as the sun continues to burn.

@gemiwing It would be my guess she would enjoy spending the week with you on holiday, as much if not more than the whale watching. You are a loving daughter, she did a great job raising you.

Well I am soon going to be giving a gift to my clown fish,, I will be buying her a new sea anemone. She recently lost her best friend when her friend decided to uproot and try and move. She swiftly and unfortunately got sucked into the filtration system. My poor little clown fish now stays in the same spot where her friend once was looking lost and lonely. She right now is in desperate need of this gift!

@Rangie Thank you for the compliment. I would love to go see whales with her.

I would give my mother the vacation to Alaska that she wants and so richly deserves. Between taking care of my father, before he passed away and a disabled relative that lives with her, she deserves something good – without strings attached. She gives and gives and it is time for her to receive.

I would help my friend take care of some of her health issues. She doesn’t have insurance and she can’t afford any doctor’s visits or any of the necessary tests. It makes me sad because if she doesn’t take care of some of these things soon, it’s a possibility she’ll be stuck with them for the rest of her life. They are preventable and she can’t do a thing about them right now.

I’d also give my mother a much needed vacation.

I would give her a kiss and three roses, a red, white, and yellow one. Because that’s what she gave to me to remind me of our friendship, love, and all the days we’ll spend together, when I needed it most.

@cak Perhaps you could go with her. If that is just a wish that could not be afforded. But, you could dream up something you could afford, as long as you do it with her. I don’t know where you live, but perhaps a little weekend trip on the train to the city, with a nice dinner by the water or a very nice restaurant. Get that little smart brain of yours working and I am confident you will come with something. Let me know.

I’d love to buy my husband a car. He very much needs and deserves one. His current car is on its last leg. The best man in the world deserves to have a safe car to drive to work.

Well… I know these guys in Boston, see? And for $50 they’ll break a leg, see? For $25 they’ll break both legs.

I’m wondering what I can get for $10; I know some deserving recipients.

@CyanoticWasp LMAO. I see.

@CyanoticWasp probably a poke in the nose.hehe

I would give my grandparents all the luxury they could stand. I’ll be getting it back in a few years, anyway. I would love to be able to take care of them in the home they’ve been in for 42 years, rather than being forced to send them to die in a nursing home. They want to die in thier home, and I would love to be able to give that to them.

I would love to have my girls travel the world to see how other children live. I don’t think they understand that most children don’t have the same life of relative ease that they take for granted. I want to give them the gift of their humanity so that they might feel a sense of responsibility toward the suffering of others enough to do something about it when it comes their time to make a difference.

For my humble husband, his only requirement is that he be loved completely. He has accepted that he will never have anything much, and that breaks my heart. His being so easy to please makes me want to give him the world for his every need.

Since Vanessa’s a great big ho, I would purchase her favorite streetcorner, convert it to residential property, and let her continue living out her dream job. I’d convert the building on it into private residences, let her have the entire upper floor penthouse free for life, and give her carte blanche to decorate it any way she wants. She can bring her granny, her shopaholic mom and her brilliant father to live there forever. And Vanessa’s illigitimate children, too. I gotta get em off food stamps. And a new car for her, too.
(Oh, yeah….and her mom gets a credit card with no limits).

What money is left would go to me, since there are no trophies for suffering needlessly.

@phillis Phuck you. You’re sucha bitch. I take back my answer.

@phillis Stop writing. I don’t care what you have to say.

@phillis I said stop writing.

Come on,V, don’t be hatin’ :D Jajajajajajaj!!

@phillis Where’s that emoticon crossing it’s arms and shaking it’s head when I need him?

I’m not sure. Have you asked your kids if they’ve seen it?

This might not sound like a gift to some people, but I would give my husband a nice high paying job in the town he and I really would love to live. His job now is so good, he is willing (but not happy) to live far away from our family.

In fact, I would like to give well paying jobs to everyone who wanted one.

I wish I could give my fiance the ability to live without worrying about money or whether he will be able to pay for rent next month.

I would give @cak 40 more years of life. At least.

I would buy a serious high school student a scholarship for his or her education.

I’d buy an appartment and a rehab stay and/or therapy for a homeless person, but first a nice five course meal…they’ll need a nice new outfit for that too.

I’d love to buy my granddaughter a new car. Or at least a better one. She’s going to school & working. Keeping long, hard hours. The car she has runs okay, but it looks tough. She deserves better.

@augustlan at least

@augustlan – Oh my gosh. You moved me to tears. I just got back on to read things, and just noticed this. Glad the tissues are near me! Thank you, thank you, thank you. You’ll never know just how much those words helped me today.
