Do you see the good luck on some of the stars?
It was one of the lovely, creative presents Sam made her father for his 60 birthday! She made all those little stars from long ribbons of paper and they are three dimensional too! I especially adore the ones with the little faces and how she managed to get the face smack in the middle of the star, lovely!

My presents were so boring in comparison:

Socks in all sorts of stages
This year, Joe received socks in different stages: a complete pair, another one almost completed (it was all done a day after the birthday) and two pairs in a Sock to be stage:
