Justin Woolverton, founder of Halo Top Creamery  "I was raised in a military family and constantly moved as a kid. I had to go to new schools, make new friends, and always try to fit in again. One constant — of all things — was my Calvin & Hobbes books. I loved those books but lost them as I grew up. "Two Christmases ago, my friends teamed up and bought me the complete Calvin & Hobbes anthology. They brought it to my house, and I had no idea they were even giving me a Christmas present. While the gift itself was absolutely awesome, it was my all-time favorite because they'd remembered something so important to me that I'd only mentioned in passing."
2. Whitney Wolfe, founder of Bumble  "On the way to my wedding this year, my soon-to-be mother-in-law gave me a vintage necklace that belonged to her mother, whom they called Queen P. It's the most beautiful bee pendant necklace that I've ever seen. It was so incredibly thoughtful and it is one of my most special things."
3. Mark Cuban, Shark Tank investor and owner of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks  "A picture of an essay my then 7-year-old son wrote, saying I was his hero and that when he grew up he wanted to be an entrepreneur like me."
