11/01 at 5:28 AMI don’t think I have received a homemade gift in a long time, however my mom has given me the tools needed to make things. She bought me my first sewing machine, gifted me money to help me save up for my new one, and bought me my serger. Sewing has been a sanity saver since I became a stay at home mom.

Amy Mayen
11/01 at 10:04 AMMy favorite homemade gift was a book written and illustrated by my daughter. It was so heartfelt and she spent a month working on it. Gifts from children are the best, because they don’t always have money to buy a present or supplies. So they give you everything they have instead.

Linda Stahr
11/04 at 4:14 AMThe Best handmade gift I ever received was a letter from my daughter who is 5. She drew me a picture of my face, and wrote her name underneath it. I treasure it simply because she thought of it on her own, and it came from her heart.
The second best handmade gift I ever received was from my 6 year old nephew who made me a “#1” badge after spending almost all his waking hours with me at a family reunion. He was my little “Bude (Buddy)” and he wanted me to know that I was his number 1. It’s going in a frame on my wall, right next to the drawing of my face that my daughter did for me.

I think the best handmade gift I’ve ever received was an Italian cookie cake from my grandma. She spent weeks baking batch after batch of Italian cookies and then assembled them in a gorgeous mountain (also known as a cookie cake) for my college graduation party. Everyone raved about it, but it was so special to me because I knew it was made 100% with love. :)
