Happy last day of November! Hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving. We’re still working on the leftovers – but that’s a good thing. 😉
This week’s giveaway is a very flirty pair of earrings that would be perfect for a holiday party or to add a touch of sparkle on New Year’s Eve!
For this design, I chose vintage Swarovski marquise-shaped crystal drops, which have a gorgeous textured design. Each drop is set with a glittering faceted crystal in a mouth-watering shade of Rose Pink. Swarovski Rose Aurora Borealis crystals dangle below. For pierced ears, the earrings have 14k gold filled, artisan–crafted, earwires with an elegant petal shape.

For the second question, amusingly I was studying with my little sister for her science test a week ago and still remember a lot of the material. (She scored a 96%!) As far as I can remember, in the Paleozoic era, reptiles developed the ability to lay eggs with a hardened shell (previously amphibians could lay eggs without a hard outer shell but had to do so in wet/moist areas)so I’m gonna guess that the egg came first and assume evolution eventually ultra outdid itself throughout thousands of years 🙂
I would have to say the basketball poster that I gave to my mom signed by all of her favorite players! She practically peed her pants!
The chicken definitely came first!!!
I’m now subscribed to your blog 🙂 Awesome giveaway btw and even better questions! I was really amused
The gift that I gave that got the most enthusiasm was a coat for my now-husband. It was a pretty expensive coat that he’d been eyeing for two years, plus it was sold out of the store nearest our house, so I ordered it online to surprise him with it. He’s still wearing it three years later!
makeup and cosmetics are the best as I am newbie.
My dad is very hard to buy for and almost never gets excited about any present. One year I gave him a box with about 12 different boutique beers from different countries. On the lid of the box I put a map of the world with labels showing where each beer was from. He absolutely loved it and I’ve never seen him so enthusiastic about a present.
Then he picked up the box, the bottom fell out and all the beer bottles smashed all over the carpet!
It’s kinda funny in hindsight but sure wasn’t at the time!
Teacher!!!!I know the second one!!!!
First it was the egg… but not from a chicken but from another animal!!!!!
What a wonderful earrings Crystal… I love them!!!
Hugs and kisses!!!
Suscriber and a happy suscriber!!!
When I was little and truly had a beautiful b-day celebration . I would get the best gifts and had a wonderful cheesecake each year with all kinds of berries on it . I loved the days of my younger b-days because they were innocent and fun .
I think the chicken and then the egg .

Made a lap quilt for my sister in law for a Christmas gift. She was battling breast cancer and family problems and was just overwhelmed with ‘life’. She couldn’t believe anyone would put so much work into a gift for her…I loved how she appreciated something handmade.
Chicken of course….I’m a creationist!
The gift that got the most enthusisastic reaction was a card I gave my mom to Mother’s day where I wrote a poem explaining why I didn’t have any other gift than my love to her.
I think the egg came first. There’s a theory we all evolved from bacteria. I’d suppose an egg evolved from a salmonella. 🙂
Of all the gifts you have ever given, which one received the most enthusiastic reaction?
None – my family never gives an enthusiastic reaction 🙁
For a silly/fun question, let’s figure out the answer to: Which came first – the chicken or the egg?
The egg, where the chicken came from… it’s impossible for it to be the other way around as the first chicken had to be born.

The chicken or the egg? Neither. It’s the ROOSTER!

The best gift EVER given was to my dad. My siblings and I found a retro 80s picture of him with 4 softball buddies–two on his left, two on his right. They looked ridiculous, posing like they were hot with their fu man chus and silly red softball hats. My brothers, sister, ans I photoshopped our own faces in place of my Dad’s friends’ faces, and VOILA. It was hysterical. He loves it. Blown up to 8×10 and framed and everything, its the focal point of the living room.
my husband got my an iphone for X-mas two years ago and I actually screamed and jumped around
The best gift I ever gave was a puppy to my dad for a father’s day gift. I had a dog, Mandy, when I lived at home with my partents but when I moved out on my own, my dog came with me. Dad missed her terribly. So for father’s day I got him his very own puppy and we named her Lindsey. My dad loved that dog so much.
Well, I got engaged three days before Christmas in 2006, so I would have to say that the diamond ring I got garnered the most enthusiastic response I can remember!
Which came first? Chicken. definitely. maybe.
The egg came first!
The best reaction from a gift: When I was young, my parents bought me a horse from a young woman in her twenties. She had the horse’s mother and had bred and raised the horse, but sadly had to sell him. I showed the horse for many years and retired him to my parents’ farm in the country when he got old. Years later, she asked if she could visit him. Of course I said yes! She came every day for 2 weeks; she would sit and talk to him, brush him, give him treats and carrots. She had gotten married and had a small farm of her own with a nice barn and several horses. I asked if she wanted to have him back, she definitely would give him more love and attention than I could. She was in tears and gratefully accepted. He lived the life of Riley for several years before he was put to sleep because of old age. He was by far the best gift I have ever given someone.
When my husband and I first married, his work sent us this HUGE box of the company’s products. Eventhough it was ordinary food items, I had the best time looking through the box to see what we had gotten.
For a silly/fun question, let’s figure out the answer to: Which came first – the chicken or the egg? 😉
Good luck. I don’t know. Ask God? :p
My mom’s best friend from across the country, wrapped up in a box.
The dinosaur!
The rope toy I gave my puppy. Puppy excitement beats out people excitement every time!
The egg came first; there were eggs before there were chickens. If the question is “Which came first, the chicken or the chicken egg?” then I can’t say; that’s one for the philosophers.
the best gift i ever gave was my mom’s dog…she loved him dearly til he passed from old age
the chicken…how else could there be an egg?
my movado watch

The best reaction to a gift I gave actually comes from this Christmas. As an early Christmas gift I gave my husband a new TV that he had been wanting for sometime now. He LOVED it! Can’t go wrong with electronics when it comes to my husband.
thanks for the great giveaway!
1st change- The best reaction to a gift was when I gave my son a pirate ship. He jumped up and down. He was so into pirates at the time. He played with it every day and he still has it up in his room.
