Reasons For Giving Handmade Gifts
Handmade
gifts may seem tacky when you think about it but they are pretty acceptable
especially during these times when the recession is wreaking havoc in our
finances. If you still need convincing, here are some of the reasons why you
should give handmade gifts.
1. It’s the trend
Believe
it or not but it is all the rage right now to give handmade gifts. Blame it to
the recession but people are finding that giving handmade gifts is charming,
practical and sweet. People now realize that you can give quality gifts without
really spending a lot and besides when you look at the thought and the effort
of the person to make the gift, it is actually more expensive than anything
that they can buy from the store.
2. It’s more thoughtful
When you
give a handmade gift, you really put much thought into it as opposed to just
going to the store and buying the first thing that you set your eyes into. When
making handmade gifts, you will find that people will appreciate more the effort
that you have put into making the gift. It is actually considered more special
and sweeter to give handmade gifts because they are more well thought of and as
people say, it comes from the heart.
3. It’s personalized
Whenever
you give a handmade gift, it is perceived to be more personalized. That means
that a lot of yourself is put into making the gift. After all, you have not
only sweated out in making the gift, you have also dedicated time into it as
well as some of your creative juices. This is why it is important to make sure
that you only give these kinds of gifts to people you are close to because
people might perceive it the wrong way.
4. It’s environment friendly
If you
care for the environment and you are part of what is called right now as the
green team then making your own handmade gifts will allow you to make something
out of trash like used papers and bottles. You can actually recycle them
yourself and give them as gifts. Who knows, you might even end up selling them
to other people? That will certainly help you in the recession.
5. It’s therapeutic
For some
people, working with their hands in art and craft projects is relaxing. Art is
actually considered as an effective therapy for people who are depressed or anxious
as it allows you to express your feelings without words. You can use this to
relax yourself and calm your nerves and at the same time make a handmade gift
for someone special. You are basically killing two birds with one stone with
this one.
Isnt it hot today?
Kind regards
