Homemade gifts

Hello Mom4kids. I do make quite a few homemade gifts. My family members receive calendars that I have added all of the birthdays and anniversarys and some nice inspirational quotes. I do not add photos to the calendars because it makes the calendar hard to throw out when the year has ended.

Yes, I love making things for other people. Ever since my husband and I had kids, gift giving has been so easy! Our families love getting gifts that have to do with the boys and you know they aren't going to get rid of it! There are times when making gifts for friends is a little difficult for me just because I am not an expert on anything I do. I am going to attempt making a reverse applique pillow for my nephew with the first letter of his name on it. I hope it turns out because it will be his first birthday and I just want to start giving more homemade things. It is easier to just buy something however, and it's not always cheaper to make things yourself. Sometimes, the materials used might not cost much, but the time you put into it makes up for the cost. Cheers.
