Handmade gifts are some of my favorite gifts to give and receive. I love thinking up something special for someone special and then spending time working on it for them. It might not be a lot of money in supplies, but the time and skill put into it makes it extra special. No one else will have a handmade gift quite like the one you can make.
This year I've giving my family handmade gifts too. I started early (in September) and spent a few weeks stitching away. I don't want to give too much away, because if they're reading this, I don't want to ruin the surprise.
