My daughter is a very talented gold and silversmith. So, I guess the thing I like to get that is made by hand is her jewelry! It is always beautiful and fits my tastes exactly! I am so lucky to have such a talented daughter. (I must add that all my kids are talented in one way or another, but she is the only one that is crafty lol)

It honestly doesn’t matter what the item is, it’s who it’s from and that they took their time and put love into it. And that smile they have knowing they are giving you something from their own hands and heart. I adore handmade gifts!!!

I love anything handmade, but probably the best handmade gift I ever received was an afghan that my mother made me for my birthday. I remember working my nerve up to let her know I was hurt that she made things for everyone else, but I had never received anything. She smiled and said it was because I can make my own stuff. I was crying when I told her that I wanted something she had made. Silly me, it was a few days before my birthday and what she was working on that night was a beautiful blue afghan for me. While she is no longer with me, I still treasure this afghan and love to cuddle in it.

Anything hand made is nice! It means they were thinking of you while they made it, and that they were making it with their heart.

My favorite handmade gift is a rag quilt my aunt made me. I didn’t realize how much time went in to making one until she came to visit and a bunch of family members tried making one. I have never learned to sew (and just started) but I was helping her do the snips on another quilt and I asked her “Do you really do this for fun? It is a lot of work”. She looked at me and said “Yes, it’s a lot of work, but the happiness it brings others is worth it”. That afternoon, my quilt became 100 times more valuable to me than any other gift I’ve been given.
-
I love embroidery & linens. The most special gifts are one I receive that have combined these 2 things.
-
Any sewn/quilted items.
-
I love to receive knitted or crocheted items. Although I can do some of the basic stuff myself, I really don’t want to spend the time to do it. I’d rather be quilting. I have about 15 scarfs that my mom has made for me over the years and I use every one of them during the cooler months.
-
I love getting anything home made but would love to get a quilt since I haven’t had time to make one for myself…I love making things for people.

I like to receive anything that is new to me, especially art dolls- I love them, but I haven’t made any. They are all so unique and they inspire me!

I know you can sew it on your Bernina, but I do love homemade food … like many others, I see!
-
I like almost anything handmade, but I especially like anything knitted since I don’t do much of that myself.

My favorite handmade gift is from my granddaughter, who loves to make things. My latest gift was a drawn picture of her with a quilt. She is six and that is the first quilt she ever drew. It was a design I had never made so she has never seen one like it. I was so proud.
-
I love any gift that is made by hand, a quilt, a cake.

I love homemade Christmas ornaments!

Handspun wool socks that my sister makes from the wool from my alpacas and sheep…so very warm and soft!

Oh, dear! I rarely receive gifts, handmade or otherwise, so anything would be great. I do a lot of crafting, so can make many things myself, but it would be nice to receive something I didn’t make myself. Handmade soap would be a treat. I make my own, but would love to try someone else’s creations.
-
I love receiving the handmade, wrapped with love batches of goodies that I sometimes get from relatives. My favorite in too many years to count was the care package from my older sister when I was away from home at college –small town girl goes to mid-size city needs some advice type gift –she sent me a batch of snickerdoodles along with her handwritten recipe — she welcomed me into her adult world with a fun comment here and there through out the very detailed recipe. Now days the same sister gives me a recipe by telling me the ingredients and letting me figure out how much. LOL The wrapping for these handmade gifts is often a placemat that gets well used. Some years the gift is wrapped in yardage –she uses her stash or goes shopping at Good Will and wraps my gift with beautiful fabric.
-
When I moved my quilting friends made a Lost Sock quilt for me that is special to me but I love any kind of hand made items.

What is a Lost Sock quilt? Sounds like an awesome going-away gift! Jo

My favorite thing that someone made for me was a little purse with a zipper about the size of 2″ x 5″. I use it all the time in my big purse and I love it. It was made by my quilting friend.
-
My favorite handmade gift was a custom dog leash and collar….
-
I like to receive anything handmade really, it is worth so much more than some of the generic store bought gifts. It is great when kids craft something. But my sister made me a crochet cell phone bag (very fine miniature crochet stitches) that I cherish very much.
-
I love to receive anything handmade, especially things that show great use of color (something I struggle with).
-
I like to receive anything that I know someone took their precious time to create for me. As the item is created, I know they were thinking of me. A cousin made me a crocheted afghan that was a “crazy quilt” type pattern with lots of different stitches and she made it mostly with orange yarn, my favorite color. I also like to receive and eat homemade goodies like chocolate chip cookies or a carrot cake. Yum.

My favorite handmade gift is food! Next favorite is anything knitted. I live in Houston, but I was meant for a colder climate, because I love cool-looking knitted sweaters! thirdfloorquilts.com
