Even though I’m not the craftiest person myself, I’ve always loved receiving handmade gifts. A few years ago, my aunt Donna made everyone these gorgeous knit scarves. I loved it then, but now that she’s gone, it’s even more meaningful. I treasure everything I have from her, but that scarf was made with her own two hands, and I like to believe that she was thinking about me as she knitted it. I believe that when we make something for someone else, whether it’s an edible gift like cookies or something they can keep forever, we’re putting a little piece of our own spirit into it. It’s really a magical thing! Here are some great ideas to get you started! This list has something for everyone (even your pets)!
