the-arbiter-elegantiarum:

Ah, my friend, what an alluring question! And not an easy one, I must admit. 

Forget the material possessions, such a fleeting matters are not worth mentioning. Let’s ponder of the qualities of “the best gif” for a bit, shall we?

It would have to be something priceless, something not easily given, something one would treasure, something one truly needs. 

It is not easy to pick one gift and not offend those whose gifts will be omitted. But what I believe was the greatest gift I ever received was Bianca’s sacrifice. Her willful devotion to me, in my darkest hour, her selfless love and care. That, my friend, shall be the gift I name as the best.
