What was a gift that stood out in your mind from 2021?
Could be from a bday, a holiday, just a gift for no reason, anything.
Doesn't even have to be your favorite (because heaven knows it's stressful trying to pick a favoriteXD)
Just something that was special or just plain fun to you for some reason ❤️

My husband got me a surprise gift of Bismuth metal! And I was sooooo stoked, and I'm still loving playing with it ❤️ (melting it down and letting it reform to make crystals with certain techniques)
My friend bought me a Lion king mug out of the blue❤️ I was so moved bc it wasn’t my birthday or anything she just thought of me when she saw it
A raccoon plush a friend gave me for Christmas it's so big and soft and squishy I love it :3
The ebooks I bought for myself.
I went to the Catskills for my birthday
I bought myself a couple of Sailor Moon figures.
The new watch my mom got me
We are not in a very good position financially right now but mom got me and my older sister watches that are quiet expensive
It's really special because even through the struggle with our finances she did not want us to feel burdened ❤️😭
My dad made me gift which I actually liked usually he always brings me stuff he want me to wear but now he gifted me Smith I want to :>
Keanu Reeves mug and birthday card. My favorite. A Christmas ago, was my drawing tablet, which I adore still too.
I got a ton of great gifts! But if I had to pick the highlights? Definitely my display tablet, but also there was a limited edition living dead doll that was supposed to be available March of 2020 (but wasn’t for pandemic reasons) — so he launched in June of 2021. My friend found one in time for my birthday (in June) and gave him to me!
An art tablet from myself. Making the decision to invest in myself was so hard but I haven't felt so sure of what I wanted until now. I'm glad I made the choice to believe in myself and start seriously building my skills. It's something I genuinely look forward to in a day and I'm happy to keep growing ♡
Awh it wasn’t for something specific occasion but back in 2019(?) I made a plushie for an online friend and sent them and it was like a trade and this year they managed to send their part of it

They made like a plush/figurine of my oc and it’s honestly the coolest thing I’ve received this year
