I can vividly remember being about 5 or 6 years old and my dad calling and giving me a present. It wasn't my birthday or Christmas, so I was totally surprised. Mum did all the household admin in our house, including organising presents, so it was doubly surprising that dad was the one to give the surprise. It was my very first Barbie doll. I loved that doll with a passion. It did not compare with the glamorous ones that are available today, but It was the prettiest, best doll I had ever seen, and I would not have traded her for anything ! I kept her for a long time. Do you have any fond memories of 'just because' presents, either from childhood or that were given to you as an adult? |
