Seasons givings year 8
***Updated with new winner: Jo has let me know that she has some of the things in the prize already and would love to pass it on to someone who could really use it. How generous! 

New winner is: Karen Kuschel

My goal is to include more water coloring in my projects this year, this giveaway is great for that! I always give my daughter a monthly subscription to something she loves as she lives in Chicago away from is and I like it that it reminds her she has a fan club close at heart. This year is teas of the month. She can think of us and how much we support her as she relaxes with her special teas each month. โค

***Updated with WINNER: Congrats Jo Anne Malicoat who said "I don't know if this qualifies as a "gift" exactly, but an elderly woman uses the same vet as we do, and I was in there one day and overheard her making payment arrangements because her sweet kitty was sick and she couldn't pay. So after she left I settled her bill for her and asked the vet to keep it anonymous. I felt so good knowing she wouldn't have to worry about that any more.". I truly enjoyed reading all of your stories about the wonderful and thoughtful gifts you gave this year. Thank you all for hopping along. Comments are now closed :)

    the most meaningful gift i gave was probably the card i made for my mom. i spent a lot of time on it : )

  2. Robyn Trimble Avatar

    Now retired, I use my nursing background to care for my 88 year old dad, who still lives alone. Though hard at times, caring for my dad is as much a gift to me as it is to him.

  3. Melissa Sugden Avatar

    The most thoughtful gift…. hmmmm…. Well I made 5 different types of Jams for neighbors and friends and family, took me all summer as fruit became available and the Jalepenos rippened in my garden. In my opinion the best gift is handmade and from the heart. Happy New Year.

  4. Dana W Avatar

    I didn’t give any particular one that held more meaning then another. This christmas I have a job and was able to do more for my family!

  5. Isabel Z Avatar

    The most meaningful gift I made were treat boxes for my daughter’s teachers. I wanted them to know how much we appreciate all that they do.

    The most meaningful gifts I gave this year were little snack bags (with things like warm socks tucked in) given to some older friends in the nursing home.

  8. Linda Trace Avatar

    I did a teaching prac in kindergarten, and got the kids to all paint pictures of Rudolph, which I photocopied and turned into Christmas cards. They all wrote (in their cute crazy writing) โ€œmerry Christmas from (name)โ€.
    I hand delivered them to two local aged care facilities. Felt amazing!!! Merry Christmas Cheiron!! Hope 2020 is amazing for you xoxox
    Ps I donโ€™t mind not being in the giveaway due to being in aus but I wanted to post a comment ๐Ÿ™‚

    We recently moved south and near the shore. Dec 26 family walked the shore and collected beautiful shells. We placed a Dec 26 shell in each person’s stocking at the up north big family gathering.

  10. Nancy Avatar

    I suppose my care, love, support of my daughter & her 2 sons might be the most thoughtful, though I don’t think of it that way. I’m fortunate to be able to share our home with them. Some of my friends think me crazy, but I love it!

  11. Amy Taylor Avatar

    I honored my father in law with a donation of a new water pump for a well in South Sudan. I also gave him the book that my 6th grade students read that inspired me to make the donation. A Long Walk To Water by Linda Sue Park. I loved doing this!

  12. Nancy Stott Avatar

    I think the most meaningful gift I gave this year was a needlepoint tissue box that took me 2 years (on and off) to make. I gave it to my best friend who appreciates handmade gifts. Happy New Year!

  13. SmilynStef Avatar

    I gave my sister (and me) a week long beach vacation … I love getting to spend time with her exploring.

  14. Laurie G Avatar

    I was able to surprise our son with a gift from something he said but was not asking for us to give him. The look on his face when he opened the box was priceless!

  15. Jane Bosi Avatar

    The most meaningful gift…..I think was time. I’ve been much more intentional in my relationships this year. Also, my kid loved his hoverboard ๐Ÿ™‚

  16. Judy Inukai Avatar

    My husband is very proud of his service to his country in the US Navy during the Vietnam War. He is also very proud of being a Master Mason. My meaningful gift to him was a lapel pin and car decal that recognizes that he is both.

  17. Debbie Selby Avatar

    I go to two different Christmas parties where the gifts have to have a handmade component. It is so much fun to see how this translates into the gifts we give and receive..

  18. Margaret Bridges Avatar

    My husband loves the Beatles and vinyl records and at a craft show I found a guy who later cuts images from vinyl records. I was able to get an old Beatle record with the shape of the Beatle heads cut out of the record. It was really cool looking and am framing it for him to hang on the wall.

  19. Sara Peatross Avatar

    I took copies of recipes my mom had written on recipe cards and made them into kitchen towels for her sisters and my brother.

  21. Debby Canady Avatar

    I am quite proud of the gift I gave a new mom. I made her 166, 12×12 scrapbook pages of her new baby.

  22. Anna Starr Avatar

    My father has declared he has enough things and wants us to donate in his honor instead so for his birthday and christmas I was able to donate money to a charity and then teach him about the impact his gift would make. I loved watching his reaction as he absorbed what his gift would do.

  23. amee Avatar

    Most appreciated gift was probably the sheet music I found that my brother has been wanting for a couple of years. Also gave him a keyboard.

  24. Christine Avatar

    The most meaningful gift I gave this year was a donation to the shelter my daughter works at.

  25. Beth Myers Avatar

    I gave out over 15 sets of hand made cards as gifts this year. My favorites were those w/ sayings in German for a small group of friends. We worked together there for many years on an Army base teaching. We are getting together this spring and I wanted them to all have a set to send each other in the group. I had so much fun thinking of our time together and looking forward to the reunion.

  26. Natalie Godfrey Avatar

    Happy New Year’s! I would say it is all the birthday cards that I have given to my family members in 2019.

  27. Marisa Ritzen Avatar

    Beautiful creations and Happy New Year! The most special gift I gave this year was a batch of his favorite cookies my mom made. She passed last year and it was such a joy to make them in remembrance of her and to bless my brother with them ๐Ÿ™‚ He told me they were his favorite gift this year.

  28. Stacy Petersen Avatar

    The best gift that is given in our house every year is the gift of travel. Hubby and I plan a Christmas trip every year to explore, unwind and enjoy each other for two weeks over the holidays.

  33. Debra A Lockhart Avatar

    My favorite gift I gave this year was homemade cards. I can’t believe the response people had to something that I made from the heart and they really could tell how much love I put into each one. That was so fun!

  34. Lana Lepinski Avatar

    I was the recipient of one of the most thoughtful gifts. My neighbor and best friend gave me one of her snowman decorations that I just love. She wanted me get “get Christmas back”. Some things happened right before Christmas that made me want to just slide through the holidays. Her gift just warmed my heart. It truly gave me hope that 2020 will be better!

  35. Susan McClelland Avatar

    I love the rainbow colours in your cards. My most meaningful gift was a set of cards I made as a hostess gift for a friend. We had not spent much time together in almost 40 years but she welcomed my family to her vacation home. We had a wonderful time together and it made me happy to give her a gift that I had made myself.

  36. Bev Hill Avatar

    I loved reading everyone’s comments. The only thing I made this year was 16 crochet reindeer noses. I cherish the pictures I took of all of my family wearing different color reindeer noses.

  37. Meghan Kennihan Avatar

    I adore rainbows and follow you on Instagram! The best gift I gave was to my dad… it’s a Where’s Waldo style book but with his dog Ronan!

  38. Mary Holshouser Avatar

    I helped my granddaughter
    make a tote bag for her
    friend’s mother. She
    hasn’t done a lot of
    sewing – just recently
    got a machine so I
    guided her in putting
    it together but she did
    it all herself. She
    did a fantastic job.
    I was so happy that she
    asked me for assistance.
    thanks for sharing.

    After hunting all over to find a pink crystal, which stands for love and heart hugs, I found one that was wired and I was able to get a small necklace for it. On Christmas Eve when I gave it to my 5 year old granddaughter, it was her birthday, I never felt more love!

  40. Avra N Williams Avatar

    Hooray for rainbows! I don’t know that I gave anything particularly meaningful this year…everyone who receives my homemade gingerbread cakes every year enjoys them!

  41. Jo Ann F. Avatar

    My most meaningful gift was a calendar I made with calligraphy quotes about flowers.

  42. Amy Cooley Avatar

    The best gift I gave this year was my crafty and baking gifts. I love blessing the teachers in my kid’s lives.

  43. Jean Marmo Avatar

    Such gorgeous cards! My mom is in a nursing home and I made a photo quilt for her. It had pictures of kids, grandkids and great grandkids!

  44. Kimberly boliver Avatar

    My Sister in law Judie has always supported my card making habit by purchasing various things I have made. She and her husband had their 20 yr banquet (which was a special year for them) for their martial arts studio and I made the name plates for their guests. She was very excited to get them and her guests were able to take them home as a keepsake.
    Thank you for the opportunity for such a fun giveaway! LOVE the socks! Xoxo

    The most meaningful gift this year was spending time with my kids while they were out of school. We don’t get to spend much time together these days, so it was a nice break for all of us.

  48. Chandhini Avatar

    Wonderful rainbow cards, love them.
    The most meaningful gift I gave this year was a handmade card to a friend, which she cherished a lot. She values handmade presents.

    The artist set card is adorable.
    Every Christmas my neighbors get together and sing Christmas carols to people that are home bound or do not have any family to spend the holiday with.
    We bring a small gift of chocolate or something handmade.

  59. Bunny Avatar

    I’m on the House Mouse DT and I gave away so many much loved didn’t want to part with them House Mouse cards so that others would be blessed and could bless others. It’s so hard to give away what you create but my house can’t be surrounded with mice and oh it was rather fun to give them to people after all.

  60. Kelly Schirmer Avatar

    I just love your rainbow designs, so bright and beautiful. The most meaningful gift I gave was volunteering with my teenage daughters at two Special Olympics events…our faces hurt from all of the smiling, we had so much fun and were so inspired by the athletes, coaches, and families :)!

  61. keiren dunfee Avatar

    Hmmmm most meaningful gift? I made salted caramel sauce for my nieces and bourbon bacon jam for my nephews (all over 21!) I think they loved them.

  62. Mary Kay Ross Avatar

    My most meaningful gift was time. My husband and I served dinner to gentlemen at a men’s home. They were wonderful and we so enjoyed talking with them and hearing their stories.

  63. Cindi Flass Avatar

    I love your rainbow designs! My mother had a collection of teddy bears, each one named after a member of the family. When I adopted my daughter, the company went out of business and the bear with her name was no longer available. After years of searching ebay I finally found it. I was able to get her one as well as my daughter. The collection is now complete.

  64. Julie O'neil Avatar

    I’m originally from Hawaii and have moved to WA about a year and a half ago so the most meaningful gift I gave this year was a taste of the islands! I made some butter mochi and furikake chex mix for my neighbors, my daughters bus driver, and my coworkers. Thanks for the giveaway, following you on IG!

  65. Jennifer Ingle Avatar

    Rockin’ the rainbows! LOVE your cards, as per usual, Cheiron. I put together a photo book of pictures of Sterling for my parents this year. That was probably the most meaningful gift we gave. Happy New Year!

  66. Karthikha Uday Avatar

    Happy New Year ๐Ÿ™‚ Super colorful and awesome cards!! My fav gift of 2019 was an interactive magic slider card I made for my daughter’s 4th birthday. She wanted it to be galaxy themed with planets and rockets and I was super happy to make it the way she wanted ๐Ÿ™‚

  67. Andrea Lynn Avatar

    I prepared and led a Christmas craft for my son’s class. It took me several trips to the library and use of their Silhouette machine to cut the layers for the ornament. Everyone loved it and (I think) appreciated the time it took to prepare. I loved that it never once felt like a chore to me. ๐Ÿ™‚ Love your site!

  68. Kim Howard Avatar

    I think the most meaningful gift I gave was right before Thanksgiving, my husband and I took a trip to AZ to go see a team he’s been following for 30 years-the Arizona Wildcats. He’s never seen them in their home stadium so we made that happen and had a fantastic weekend.
    Happy New Year and thanks for the chance to win!

    Hi Chorion! This year, I was offered a job with a non-profit organization that helps kids who need it the most. Every single day, i give something of myself that I had never expected to. I couldn’t believe how much these kids needed me, and how important I have become to them, and they have taught me so much! It changed my life!

    I wish you a happy, healthy and crafty New Year! As for meaningful gift this past Christmas, I think it would be the homemade breads I made. I enjoyed baking them for friends and neighbors. BUT most of all I enjoyed decorating them with my crafty supplies so they would be pretty as well as delicious. ๐Ÿ™‚

  81. Beverly Perdue Avatar

    The most meaningful gift I gave was a handmade picture for my daughter-in-law’s grandparents. Their daughter passed away suddenly and they were devastated. I found a recent picture of their daughter and framed it using some patterned paper from my paper stash and some decorative die frames. They were very touched. Hope you have a happy and healthy New Year.

    The most meaningful gift for me has been giving my gift of time to my 83 year old neighbor who has many health issues. I am blessed to help her with getting her mail, taking her garbage out, helping her with organizing her medications and the best of which is the gift of friendship which is meaningful for her as well for me!

  84. Subhashini Avatar

    Dear Cheiron
    A very happy new year to you and your family with gd health and happiness.
    I made four stationery sets for my lovely friends complete with greeting cards with envelopes, note cards, gift tags a pen and a note book. It was all handmade with love. I even made the gift bags. It was a real labour of love. I have given two already and they loved it so much and the other two will go out this week. As the gifts were given for Christmas i even hand made the Christmas cards.
    With loads of love and Gratitude

  89. Karen Letchworth Avatar

    I actually reconnected this year with my 2nd gr. teacher (via Facebook). She gave me a beautiful gift by telling me that she had a piece of art I had created back in her class (in 1972). That was SO precious to see, and something that really touched my heart. Thanks so much for taking part in this amazing event of generous giving. May you all be blessed in return (in many other ways) for all the generous acts of giving.
    Blessings,

    Your cards are gorgeous! I love all the rainbow colors! What a super fun giveaway! I bought my 23-year old a Lego set! ๐Ÿ™‚ Every year when he was young we would stay up late and put together his new Legos on Christmas. I miss those days and so I bought a set and we all sat on Christmas day and put together the set! Another new memory was made! You are never too old for Legos! Happy New year!

    Oh what beautiful and happy cards for 2019! My mother is undergoing chemotherapy to I made a number of meals for the freezer so my father could make easy meals.

  92. Dorothy Ayotte Avatar

    Lovely cards! My most meaningful gift has been sharing our home with many visitors, especially an new family member by marriage who needed a break from spending all day and night at the hospital with her spouse. She came a number of times, and even after Christmas, spend a number of days with us. We gave her hospitality, but she gave us the chance to open our hearts and home to her (the bigger gift, in my mind)

  93. Kimberly Sheppard Avatar

    I love rainbow cards! My most meaningful gift was taking my kids on a trip to visit family.

  94. Heike Carlson Avatar

    I would probably say that giving my handmade cards to friends and family was my most meaningful gift. They are so appreciative of them.

    My favorite gift this year was helping Dolly. She’s 92; uses oxygen, a walker, and gets her hair done every two weeks! We have lovely visits and I get to shop while she’s getting her hair done!

    Happy New Year! I think the most meaningful gift I give is taking pictures all year of the grandkids and then putting the photos in an album. One for each of my daughters and one for my daughter-in-law. It’s really fun to look back on all their activities for the year.

  100. Kit Avatar

    Happy New Year! I think the most meaningful gift I gave this year was time. Time to volunteer for needy organizations and time for the sweet little ones in my life.

  101. Cheryl H Avatar

    My gift was to myself (and my husband) and it’s my health. I worked to lose 135 lbs this year so I can stick around a little longer ๐Ÿ™‚

  102. TERESA GODINES Avatar

    I would say it was key chains that I made for my crew at work. They all seemed very excited that I made them a little gift for Christmas. This is the first year that they have reported to me. Thanks for the chance and Happy New Year

  103. Nora Noll Avatar

    Happy New Year!! I LOVE all your rainbow cards. The most meaningful gift that I gave this year was a set of cards and matching bracelet for a friend. Her brother died a few years ago and she has a charity with a certain tag line. I made her some cards using the tag line as the sentiment and designed around that.

  104. Lauryne Cunnignham Avatar

    Not sure if it’s a “gift” exactly but 2019 I made some major changes for myself. I quit my job of eighteen years, stood up for myself and took my health and happiness in hand. I started a new job in December and so far I love it! Never let someone else make you feel worthless or bad about yourself. I let it happen to me for far too long!

    The most meaningful gift I gave this year was myself. I sold my home, moved into an rv and came to take care of my elderly mom so that she would have someone here for her in case she fell or just needed someone to talk to.. I hope to buy a home again in the near future, but I am happy to have dedicated my life and time to someone else for at least a little while.

    Our son will graduate from university in May and needs a suit for interviewing, work, etc. Due to his size (6’6″, 185 pounds), off the rack wasn’t an option. We bought a custom made suit for him for Christmas. I like to think of it as the final “launch” of our baby, not an amazing young man. BobbisTreasure at aol dot com

    My gift was to some of my stamper friends and it was a goody bag with personalized aprons and stamping products. It was so meaningful for me to share that with them.

    Happy 2020 Cheiron!
    As my most meaningful gift is time!! Over the years I have mentored, guided and been put in leadership of others. This year I spent many hours training to be apart of a ministry that helps those in “crisis” and am privileged to being apart of one woman’s life as she walks through this hard time. God is so good to use me in this way. So blessed!!!

    Happy New Year! I think the most meaningful present that i got this year, was something small but sweet. It was from my nephew, who is 4 years old. He gave me a little necklace that he made in school.

    Happy New Year and thanks for being part of this amazing and generous hop! Love all your rainbow cards! My most meaningful gift was a mug with pictures of my brother on it for my father. When my brother unexpectedly died in October, my dad took it really hard. As my sister and I created a slideshow to celebrate my brother, there was a picture of my brother with a calf that brought tears of joy to my dad’s eyes. That picture, with a few others, were on the coffee mug. I hope that it will bring a bit of joy to my father each morning.

    I always love your makes, Cheiron! They are so bright and happy, and always bring a smile to my face. The most meaningful gift I give every year is time at my church, preparing and sending out meals to our community. Every year it grows, and this year 4100 meals were prepared and distributed. It is a gift that gives back way more. Thank you for your generous giveaway and for your inspiration throughout the year! By the way, I would not have known about this hop without you!

    The most meaningful gift I gave this year was monthly donations to Guardian Angels Medical Service Dogs. They pair veterans with PTSD and other disabilities, as well as some civilians, with well-trained dogs that are life-changing.

    Happy New Year Crafters! Well craft related I made a Brag book for a friends daughter who had her 1st child. On a not so craft side, we raise our own beef and we always share beef with our neighbors.

    Happy New Year and your cards are so bright and cheerful. The most meaningful gift I gave this year was lots of cat food, litter, and goods to be sold to pay their vet bills for nine feral kittens and two mothers. I felt so good that day knowing they would eat good.

    My son had borrowed money and didn’t realize that his 100$ payment was only decreasing the loan by 30$ because the interest. He still owed $400.00 and he was struggling to pay it off with that much interest. I paid it off for him and told him it was part of his Christmas. He happy cried because he was so relieved. Love my boys

    My most meaningful gifts this year have been time, teaching neighbours kids about colour and colouring … our driveway has looked MAGICAL, I’ve also made lots of colouring cards that come with crayons and gel pens, so they can colour the digital stamps on the front and inside.

    Happy 2020! I believe the most meaningful was an encouraging card I made and sent to my Mom after a health scare she had. She said it brought her to tears and brightened her day. (This is why I love creating.)
    Thank you for the inspiration and sharing your creations with all of us! Love the rainbows of color!

    My mom is in a nursing home and is not really able to do much. I created a photo blanket for her including photos of her parents, my sisters and I, my children and grandkids. She will enjoy snuggling up with it.

    You do make spectacular rainbow projects. My most meaningful gift was a plate of homemade candy that different members of my family made over at my mom’s. I have a plate last year to a family of my church who are very poor. They loved it. This year the mother (who was a classmate and friend in high school) passed away at the age of 52. I gave a plate to her husband and son to make this Christmas a little brighter in the midst of their first Christmas without her.

    The most meaningful gift I gave (that I can remember) is a Christmas tree we cut down on our property to give to one of my student’s family who couldn’t afford one.

    The most meaningful gift I gave was a table saw to my son. He is ALWAYS there for my husband and me. He drops everything and drives over if we need help. He calls me 3-4 times during the week just to make sure I’m ok. He’s a blessing.
