Thread: Hand made or brought

Would something being handmade for you mean more to you than something being bought? Keeping in mind that the person is more likely to buy the item than make it.

HANDMADE! Someone has physically worked at something is very much appreciated by me! Also I love the personal touch! wait that sounds rude

definately handmade...my grandma who is 79 and really badly affected by parkinsons, knitted me a blanket for the birth of my daughter two years ago...i ended up in tears when i opened it and still use it for my son who is one now, it will be being kept and passed on to their children along with their shawls that i made. handmade all the way. xxx

I love home made things, but not everyoe does (especially if it is not very well made...hehe).
I am just as happy with something simple that someone has obviously spent time cjoosing, or has seen and instantly thought of me. My sister once gave me a hair band with a red gingham butterfly on. It was the perfect thing for me and I love it :-)
