One of the gifts I remember the most and that meant more to me than anything else was given to me many years ago, but not for Christmas. It was an iPod. I have never, even when I had "extra" money, bought trendy things. But it's not about the trend or the price. I love music, and I got an iPod from a cousin I haven't seen in years. Plus, it was metallic red. Unfortunately, a few months later my ex "appropriated" it and then sold it.
And now, the gift I would remember most would be paying off my debts because it would make my life with a small income much easier.
