Describe the best gift you ever received or gave:
This was a great gift for a Dad. Every time he used his plate, he knew the children had made it with love for him.

What made this gift extra-special?
It was hand painted by his children, of course!

Other comments or suggestions:
It's quite simple. Go to any paint-your-own-ceramic place, have the kids pick out something useful for Dad and let them paint it. A full set is even better (plate, bowl, coffee cup).
