What gift from a parent do you remember the most?

When I was younger my favorite animals were Giraffes. Well, I guess they still are my favorite. Anyway, one day my mom came home from bible study or something. I was about 12 I think and she gave me this little card that had a giraffe on it and a caption that said, "God and I are on your side" I still have it in my memory box.
She also gave me this little trinket box type thing. It is a ceramic heart shaped box with two birds on the top, its big enough to hold like a few pairs of earrings. She gave it to me for my birthday, my 16th or 18th I think. Inside it was a note from her that was folded up as tiny as she could get it. I have always kept it on my dresser and I left the note in it. I still cry when I read it. It is a very sweet note about how she is proud of me and how I had blossomed into a beautiful woman. I still have it. When we were getting ready to move I picked it up to put it into a box and it fell out of my hand and the wings of the birds broke off. I was very sad but I still kept it because I love it and I love the note inside.
My dad gave me a charm bracelet for my birthday or Christmas when I was 10-ish I think. It had two charms on it. One said "Daddy's little girl" and the other was and heart and a key. Then for my next birthday I got two more charms for it. One was two love birds and one was a porcupine or something like that. (My step-mom picked those out) apparently porcupines represent something in England or they did when she was young. Or I think when she was young she had a charm bracelet with a porcupine on it or something... I don't remember. I got more charms over the years, I don't remember what they were though, I think all but one of the charms has fallen off. I remember the day the Daddy's little girl one fell off. It was at school and I was walking back from lunch and I looked down at my wrist and saw that it was gone. I was very sad when that happened because it was my favorite charm. I still have the bracelet in my jewelry box but it just looks like an old silver chain.
