It is constantly and increasingly becoming a task just to get someone the right gift for Christmas as the years go by. We sometimes suffer from the usual ‘What would they like?’ or the ‘I hope I’m not over/under spending’ issues. What you might not have known is that people usually find it very thoughtful and would tend to cherish even more, gifts that were hand made by the giver. This is especially the case when you are near and dear to said person and the gift you made is one of top quality. Here are a few reasons why you might want to give someone a gift made by your own hands:
1. The gifted has it all
What do you do when you have to buy something for someone who seem to have it all? You make something that they will cherish, that’s what!
2. The quality is in your hands
Have you ever bought something for yourself or someone and a few months, even days later, it falls apart? Making your own gifts would ensure that you determine the quality!
3. Personalization
You can create personalized gifts in so many different ways by including a favorite saying, name, color, pattern…endless possibilities!
4. Unexpected
Everybody loves the surprise factor when giving a gift! Handmade gifts can bring tears, laughter, jaw-dropping expressions and so much more!
5. Unique/One of A Kind
When you give handmade you can choose to create a one-of-a-kind gift that is unique to that person.
6. Usually Less Expensive
In many cases giving handmade is less expensive than purchasing. When you purchase something you are usually paying for the time it took to make the item. When eliminating the time factor you can usually save lots of money!
7. Thoughtful
There is a special feeling when you know someone really took the time and effort to decide what to get you, especially when they made it with their own hands.
8. Do What You Love
Creating something can be therapeutic or a time to get away from our busy schedules. It’s great to have any excuse to do what we love.
9. Gift They Will Treasure
Gifts that will last and gifts that have special meaning are the ones that will be treasured. By hand making your gifts, you can ensure this!
10. Share Your Talents!
You have creative talents – share them! Finishing a creative project can give you such a sense of accomplishment right? Seeing somebody wear, use, or display what you created them, can give us that same feeling!
