But I wanted to make sure that you’d get these in time to use them for the month of December so I decided to have the giveaway in November!
I have two sets of these to give away!
So two people will each get a Pop-Up Nativity set, and a Talking Jesus toy.
(Those are the closest links I could find for them, they’re not exact but very close, sorry.)
Anyway, the nativity set is really neat, you press out all of the different characters and buildings to created your own nativity.
This would be fantastic for children who are learning about the nativity story, and can handle them.
(My three year old would tear them to pieces, I’m sure!)
When you’re finished the set will look something like this:
The talking Jesus toy is also really neat! We have this at home ourselves, and my son can literally repeat verbatim what Jesus says. It’s nice because he says a few different verses as well.
I think he’s quite handsome too, but that’s me
and I’m partial to bearded men
;) luv ya hun!
Anyway, here’s how to enter:

I am also a subscriber. My best gift received was a trip to the Holy Land, Israel in Christmas 2007 from my best friend!
My favorite gift has been to see my sibs at Christmas. With five brothers and sisters spread across the globe…unwrapping gifts pale in comparison to seeing one of their faces during the holidays.
My favorite gift ever, was my new husband- in 2001! My husband and I are both missionary kids from Argentina, so we wanted to get married there. We chose December 29th, but because of legal reasons we had to legally get married here in the U.S. first. So, on Dec. 1,2001 we were married in MO (by his dad), and then I left 3 days later to ARgentina, and my husband came 2 weeks later (because he still had school) and we were married in Argentina (by my dad!). It was a very memorable Christmas season. My parents even gave my husband a card as his “christmas gift” with a certificate inside entitling me to him as his wife. ha ha.
The best gift I ever got was probably my digital camera; best I ever gave was a ring to my DH; he treasured it!
My favorite gift is Jesus!
My favorite christmas gift was when I was about 15 and my grandma gave me a rag doll. She told me it was to represent me going from a little girl to become a beautiful young lady. My grandma passed away about 7 years ago and I am 24 years old now and I still have my doll. Everytime I look at my doll I always think of my grndma and the love I have for her. I hope one day whe the Lord blesses me and my husband with a little girl I will pass my doll down to her and let her know about her great grandma and what a wonderful, beautiful woman she was. God Bless you.
I think the best Christmas present I ever got was when I was about 12 and my dad had been overseas for 3 years… He came home on Christmas morning… I remember how excited I was even though we didn’t have any presents at home due to an accident my dad had in Africa and we lost everything pretty much…
This year we (my husband and I) are going out to buy some clothes for a family who lost everything in a fire… We don’t have much but we are blessed with each other, our family, our health and our jobs… If we can bring a smile to another family then I feel this will be the best present ever
The most precious gift I can remeber was in 2007. My 23 year old niece suffered from diabetes from the young age of 6. She went into kidney failure and desparately needed a kidney. Her stepfather was a perfect match and gave her a kidney. The transplant was a great success and has continued to work. As I am writing this, my niece is back in the hospital recovering from another gift, a pancreas. All wonderful Christmastime events.
The best Christmas gift I ever received came from my sister-in-law. She got me a locket with pictures of my boys inside.
The most favorite present I ever received for Christmas is a tie between two gifts. One was a doll that I received when I was 6, my aunt sent to me, I still have her, and it was really neat. The other, was the year we had very little money and a man who came to the restaurant where my mom worked gave each my brother and I ten dollars in quarters in a little ziplock bag and had her put it under the tree. That was the most money I had ever seen, and I still remember how carefully I counted and spent that gift. I was 7.
I subscribed to this blog. Looks great- can’t wait to try some of the crafts I saw!
Hi !
The best gift I ever gaved was giving my heart and my life to Christ 18 years ago at the age of 10.
The best gift I ever received – is Jesus; as an answer to me giving my heart to Him, He came and in and became my Lord and Savior.
:-)
One of the best Christmas gifts I ever received was the huge doll house my father made for me when I was a little girl. It had so many rooms, each with carpeting and windows. It was painted my favorite color, yellow, and was as tall as I was. The best thing about this doll house is my father still has it and this Christmas, after much “remodeling,” it will be given to my daughter. I can’t wait to help her decorate and play.
My favorite Christmas gift memory was the year my parents moved 800 miles away in the spring time, and came home to visit. I knew they were coming and snuck them into my Grandparent’s house as a big surprise for them. The look on Grandma’s face was the best gift ever!
The best Christmas present I have ever given was a drum set to my youngest son who had been asking for one and he was three years old. Now, I know this may sound crazy to some people but he has a God gifted talent for music. He loves anything that has to do with music and he writes his own songs as well. Riley was born with a birth defect and without going into great detail God intervened and touched him. I believe that through this experience as a baby he has a closeness with God and he has a calling on his life so to give this present was helping this calling being fulfilled as planned.
I have received so many wonderful gifts. I suppose the best is the gift of Jesus- and if that isn’t quite the answer you were looking for, my husband and my children have all been awesome gifts!
The best gift I received was Grace towards my daughter and I.
My daughter, Sarah was about 6 at the time and we didn’t have any money and at the announcement of a gift exchange at church for the kids anxiety ran high for me because I knew there was no way I would ever be able to afford a gift for the exchange… and I was a little embarrased because I didn’t know how I ever would tell my daughter that we wouldn’t be able to participate. Knowing our financial situation and being sensitive to my heavy heart a lady quietly walked over and told me not to be afraid to come to the Christmas party, she had a little washer and dryer that she would wrap and bring for my daughter and she told me not to worry about bringing a gift, she knew we were struggling and when her children were young she had also struggled. Prior to the party, I took scrap cloth and some pretty lace off of a pair of Sarah’s socks and hand sewed little clothes to go in that sweet little washer and dryer that Sarah would get.
My daughter was delighted with the little clothes and the little washer and dryer.
I was delighted that my Lord knew my need and met it so lovingly and beautifully.
One of my favorite gifts came from my husband. We had been married for a short time, but the framed quote, “Grow old with me, the bet is yet to be…” was somehow just the right gift at just the right time and always touches my heart when I see it.
My two favorite gifts as a child were Snoopy Pound-A-Ball and My Puppy Puddles

My favorite gift that I have given, is actually one I am going to give to my mom this year. I just bought her a kitchen aid mixer. She has been without a mixer for over a year, and unable to afford one, and I am just thrilled that I could buy her a really nice one. (we are actually going to give it to her as an early present tomorrow, so she will be able to use it for all her holiday baking) I am so excited because I know it will be totally unexpected and will be used a ton!!

Every year my maternal grandmother would hand make an ornament for each grandchild and give us a $2 bill.
One of the best gifts for me is having all my family over for Christmas every year. I love to serve them, and I love to have them come see me all at once. We scrimp and save all year to be able to afford it, but it fills my heart, my husband’s heart, our children’s hearts, our parents, siblings and so on, and we feel it is worth every penny!
hm…my best christmas present had to be my very first bike about 9-10 years ago. i know its been a very long time, but i still remember it like it was yesterday.
The best Christmas present that us as a family gave was we had heard of a family that had a fire in our area and decided not only to make them Christmas dinner but we invited them to come to our Church and we got the Church in on purchasing Christmas for them.
It was an awesome experience.
My favorite Christmas present I recieved was a beautiful doll.

Thanks for all the great ideas you provide!
the greatest gifgt i evere received was when my mom passed away ,and my job had ended, the good lord watched after me and i prayed and i received a new job close to my dad and i was able to keep the promise i made to my mom before she died i told her don’t worry i will take care of dad . so it just goes to say our GOD is an AWESOME GOD.He answers our prayers in many ways , my dad is 100% disabled veteran so i am very thankful for the blessing i received.
My favorite gift was one I gave to my aunt and uncle several years back. As they are people who have all they need and moving on in years, I filled backpacks with school supplies and donated them to an orgranization. As my aunt opened a card that explained what we had chosen to do in their name that year, she and I both began to cry. It was the perfect gift to her! Giving to others feels so good!
My best Christmas present ever came in Dec. 1992 when I married my best friend. We were in college. We finished finals on Thursday, were married on Saturday and gone over Christmas. It was the first Christmas I had ever been away from my family. They called to wish the newly weds a wonderful Christmas so I could hear everyone in the background. It was wonderful!

I think that my favorite christmas present is being able to spend the holiday with the people that I love. I am so greatful every year when the whole family gets together and spends some time together.
One of the best gifts I ever received was a remote start for my Jeep from my husband. Something that I could use year round. And he’s a mechanic so he installed it for me. :-)
My favorite Christmas was the year our family was able to help a young single Mom who had lost her Mother and adopted her young siblings. She had no idea how she was going to provide a Christmas for her children and siblings. It felt so good to be able to take care of their needs that Christmas. I think that act of helping others was the best present we could have given ourselves too. Our children are now grown and they still love to help others.
My favorite gift was actually a Christmas tree – it was mine and my husband first one and he went out as a suprise and bought me the tree, topper, skirt and all the trimmings.
One of the greatest gifts we ever received for Christmas was my grandson, brady lane, born on December 27th, 1993—-eleven days after my closest friend and aunt betty elaine died—brady lane was as close as we could get to naming him after betty—she was a terrific person and so is brady.
A set of watercolors from my parents, when I was 13. That is all they could afford at the time. So inexpensive but it ment so much to us kids to have something to open :).
I think that I am giving the best gift ever this year. Over the past several weeks, I have been helping put lots of shoeboxes together for Operation Christmas Child, with his help, and sharing with him why we do such things. Today, I nearly cried as I watched my 3 year old son, Parker, snuggle a small stuffed animal and say to it, “Keep someone safe and happy,” then place it in a box. He picked through lots of items we had laying around and put all of his favorite things in the box. I asked him, “who are all of these things for?” His reply was simple, “For another kid who doesn’t have anything.” I think that this year I have given my son the best gift I will ever be able to give. Teaching him and encouraging him to have a generous heart ad a heart that is willing to give, and to give freely, not even withholding the things that he would want for himself.
The most wonderful gift we have ever gotten for Christmas is after trying to have a baby the natural way for almost 7 years God surprised us and we became parents within 24 hours. He used a friend of ours whose husband was a social worker who did home studies for an adoption attorney. Three couple passed up this beautiful healthy baby girl because God meant her for us. We were called about her on Saturday morning and picked her up the Next morning on Sunday from the hospital just barely 2 days old! We named her Amaris which means promised of God and her middle name is Noel because she was our christmas present that year, being born on December 12th! She is going to be 12 this Dec 12th! She such a blessing!
My favorite Christmas gift was an empty box…my friend said she had put all of her love in it. :)
There are eight of us kids, I’m second to the youngest. From Jan. ’98 to Sept. “99 we lost our mother and two sisters. I’m between the two sisters lost. It was devastating. We didn’t have many pictures and one day I found the perfect pictures of all three of them, a true blessing. I had copies made and framed. This was two Christmas’ later. As each remaining sibling opened thier gift, I watch on their beautiful faces, tears of joy mixed with longing! The joy that filled my heart can never be expressed to the fullness of that day.

I can’t remember a favorite present. The best gift is being blessed by having such a great family to spend Christmas with and knowing the real meaning for celebrating.
