@stiletto_mom: Looks like you're gold now! (And it wasn't me - just saw and had to point it out!)
I was gifted Gold back when I was a relatively new member and I remember it being the most touching gesture. HB members are so thoughtful!

I have neither given not received Gold, but I love that people in this community occasionally do that for each other! Just another way HelloBee is better than most corners of the Internet.

Been gifted twice, and I was so grateful. I really need to pass it on! I haven't yet because DH is cheap and it would probably cause a fight. He isn't even happy I've paid for myself even though I'm on here every day.

I was gifted when E was a newborn in the NICU. I am hoping to be able to gift one person this year. This community has been such a place a comfort and support.

I have given gold! I'm really curious about the people that selected "other" in the poll...what other options could there be?!

I was gifted last year. Unfortunately the lovely person that gifted it to me has been MIA for the last few months.

@coopsmama: What!? When did this happen?
That's awfully sweet and generous whoever it was.
Did you guys ever find out who gifted you gold?
Now I don't know what to do with this amazing power.

both, a couple years ago. I got gifted gold randomly and then every time I would think of a person to "pass it on" to, they would already have gold. So I sat on it for a few months until I noticed someone I wanted to gift it to---but because I'm crazy, all the while, I imaged Mrs. and Mr. Bee discussing that I received gold but didn't gift anyone gold.

@Anagram: I imagined this too! I also made up in my head that they gift it to everyone once to see if they reciprocate or not.

When gold first came out, there was a draw for two new posters to win gold, and I won!! That was awesome!

Never given or received. But I think it's because even though I post a lot, I keep a really low profile on HB. That's ok!

Ummmmm so when I clicked to see what @stiletto_mom: had replied to me in this thread I saw I had Gold again.
Seriously made my morning!! Thank you, thank you whomever it was - if you'd like to reveal yourself I'd love to know so I can thank you more personally. And if not, just know that I really appreciate the favor and look forward to passing it on to someone else.

@LBee: I wonder the same thing, too! I was gifted gold very shortly after joining and still have no idea who it was.

Someone gifted me around 3 years ago and I guessed wrong but was thrilled about it.

Neither yet. We'll see if I can budget it when I get knocked up again, lol.

Both experiences, the person who gifted me gold doesn't get on HB anymore but we keep in touch through Instagram. We've become good friends and I hope to meetup with her family at Disneyland if we are ever in that area.
