When you give handmade you can choose to create a one-of-a-kind gift that is unique to that person. A friend gave me a necklace and I always get asked, “Where did you get that?” I tell them that a friend made it. Sometimes it’s nice to wear or have something that nobody else has!
Creating something can be therapeutic or a time to get away from our busy schedules. It’s great to have an excuse to do what we love.
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 that same feeling!
