Lately I’ve started making more gifts by hand… Well I usually buy a card (birthday or whatever the occasion is) but I make the present itself, and put it together.

I’ve gotten some real good reception, and I’m glad, because the worst thing you can do as a gifter is to give something the receiver doesn’t want… and being down $50. Instead, I spend 10-20 hours, use my brain and some creativity, and I can make a unique present that the person has never had before.
