if it's something actually good, then homemade is great.
but the people that make me crochet extra-roll-of-toilet-paper-covers really suck.
i know it took time to make, but the end result is a useless thing that nobody wants.

in fact, i think any gift homemade or not that is just something to clutter up people's
homes is of you-shouldnt-have-really quality

If you don't want a cotton ball tree, just say so.

Agreed, unless the maker is an artist

Some homemade gifts are good. I have an aunt that is an amazing painter, so I loved my homemade gift from her. And my grandma used to give us scarfs and slippers that she knit herself, before she had her stroke. I miss those slippers.

Homemade shit >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> gift cards. Just admit it.

I don't tend to make anything, per se, but I like to make strange combos and "baskets" and such to make it more personal than just a gift-wrapped DVD.

I got a made gift yesterday - clay snowman (like a cookie cutter cookie) with a thick copper wire twirled around to form the hook. it's made by a real artist though so it's not at all crappy/rough looking; i love it.

That's beautiful, Zippy.

A woman at work makes everything - ornaments- throws- socks.
I think it's great when someone puts time into a gift, especially if the receiver is sentimental.

I love to give special homemade gifts. This is one of the gifts I made for someone and I think they really liked it. Well I guess they could have lied to me.
