People who give handmade gifts are not cheap. It is actually the complete opposite. Handmade gifts are a true testament of how much they care for someone. Most times, it is not cheaper as supplies can be expensive, as well as the time spent is far beyond the time it takes to simply purchase a gift.
Handmade gifts are actually a love language being shared with the recipient. Consider the time spent choosing the perfect item, then finding a pattern and then purchasing the supplies. The maker then spends many hours creating the gift. I personally spend the creation time, thinking about the person I will be giving this to.
This upcoming Christmas season of gift giving,consider making handmade gifts. Keep in mind how much time you have to devote to these gifts. Consider choosing one or two people on your list and start small. Don't forget Christmas isn't that far away, so think about this now.
This was my thoughts behind the Make,Take and Add a Bow gift series. A pouch for a loved one's ereader or laptop? A new apron for the baker in your life? A pair of PJ pants for your children or grandchildren? Pillowcases made in fabric of your friend's favourite interest? The ideas are endless!
