the best way to celebrate the season regardless is to make your own gifts.
been doing this for a dozen years.
it should be no surprise people have more of an appreciation for this than simply buying shit...
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1534258 I am a knitter and bead jewelry maker and I also enjoy making gifts for people. I have to match the right project with the right person, but when I get it right, it is so gratifying. That being said, I never thought of giving an oil change or a haircut as a gift, but what a great idea this is. Win-win. Quoting: oh_yikes Been doing handmade Christmas for years. Usually it was tins of homemade candies, which is a tradition Mom started when my brother and I were little. Folks usually give the tins back sometime in January hoping to have them refilled for the next year. :) Last year I learned to French knit and Crochet. Between hat and scarf sets, afghans, a felt teddy bear, and several hairbows, broaches, and ornaments, and boxes of cookies, last year was completely handmade aside from the crafting supplies we got our girls. I think we're doing treat boxes again this year. Maybe a couple amigurumi toys for the girls along with some new Sunday bows if I can get the chance to stitch them up while they're napping.
