Is there who still make Christmas gifts?

[CharmedPhoenix]

Anybody can buy things from a store.  Handmade gifts are so much better and more personal.  I'm a crafter through and through.

Back when the economy first took a turn my family decided to make Christmas presents for each other. I really got into it and since then tend to make at least a couple of homemade items. They seem to be appreciated for the most part. Last year I made my mom a calendar with stamped numbers and letters and then a drawing of someone from the family on each month, even the dog was included. I would love to continue to do so and make more but it's always a struggle with time and resources.

My sister and I are thinking about making those tie blankets to add to peoples gifts. I made one for my husband last month and it was so easy and fun to make. Plus very cheap. Just have to buy fabric and have a good pair of scissors.

No I don't make home made gifts, but it's a great idea! Cost effective and personalized:-)

Nah I'm not creative or crafty to make stuff. anf it takes too much time. so much easier to get gift cards for everyone.

I think it is very nice you handmake your gifts. It adds personal meaning to the gift. I used to crochet and knit things for my family members too, but all I handmade this year was a scarf for a friend for Hannukah. I bought the rest of the gifts at amazon. I didn't even have to step inside a crowded store.

I give gifts only if you can use them,but not handmade.
