Andrew Douglas snagged a box that I discarded, wrapped, taped, wrote his name and ours, and then taped some more, I think. Inside were two salt dough ornaments that he made himself and two one dollar bills. Love that kid.
That was a beautiful gift! When my kids were little (now they are 14, 16, 18, 21,and 22) we spent a lot of time before Christmas making gifts. I always tried to have their focus be on what they were giving other people. I found it difficult to combat the "What is Santa bringing you for Christmas?" (Santa?) questions. Now I look around my sisters and sister-in-laws' houses and still see pencil cups made of popsicle sticks etc. and it warms my heart. So I think salt dough ornaments are a lovely gift from the heart!

This makes me melt! I only can hope and pray I have children like this someday!
