Memorable gifts you've gotten after coming out?

[Cindy]

Oh this brings back memories and I am feeling nostalgic.

I designed a bracelet and had it made by a local gold smithery. I explained what I wanted and why, which after questions revealed part of my life story. They asked for a sizeable deposit as it was expensive material. When I returned they gave it to me as a gift and wished me a safe life for the future.

The bracelet was put on my wrist by him and has only come off when I have had PET, MRI's or surgery.

They were and are lovely people.

My boyfriend got me my first Teddy Bear for Christmas of 2016. It plushy, looks purple and smells like light purple too! AKA, smells like lavender. As I was growing up my parents tried the whole steer me away from anything feminine. So I never got anything like it. I love it very much. When I'm super stressed and can't get a hold of my boyfriend, I hug and hold on to it. I've fallen asleep with it quite a few times before we moved in together this past fall.

I have totally loved teddy bears since I was really little. I've been given lots of teddy bears over the years and I have over 120 of them. This Christmas my boyfriend gave me a Tambo Koala bear teddy bear he ordered from Australia.  Tambo is a popular line of teddy bears in Australia.

I got a card from my mom.

Front: You're Always Loved
Inside: But today you get it in writing

Handwritten inside: Bari Jo, I love you.  I respect you and I'm very proud of you.  Love Mom.

I told her I cried the first time I saw my name in writing that somebody else wrote.  This is her first time writing me with my name, and yes im crying.  I'm keeping this card.

I only get money from immediate family, and from my SO I generally just get whatever I might have suggested, which won't be gendered stuff probably.

His family who we haven't seen since forever still send me super girly stuff though. It's hilarious. I don't take it badly because they don't even know, so it's just like I appreciate their thought and effort. If they send me a bunch of girly bath soaps, hell, I'll use them... it's free soap. This year they sent me a bunch of black chenille socks with red hearts on and they're pretty toasty so I'm wearing 'em, lol

My grandma has always given my brother and I underwear and socks. The typical grandma Christmas  gift. The first year after I transitioned I guess she wasn't sure so she gave me both boy tidy whiteys and girls panties in pastel colors. Lol

Not to bang on the jewelry theme (although it is one of the keys to my heart), my mom gave me her "third best" string of pearls.  This is a woman who could never manage to actually say, verbally, that she loved me.  I'm counting it as a win.

That's a win!

Mine may seem fairly simple, but my wife bought me a bottle of Nair a few days after coming out. Just the fact that she was showing support for the first time was an amazing feeling, it made me cry.
