homemade gifts have come a long way from the things we made as kids to give to our mommy and daddy and other relatives at christmas. although clay ashtrays and finger paintings were acceptable when we were 6, i just don't think they have the same charm coming from anyone older than 12 at the most. there are so many forms of homemade gifts that can be given these days that are super simple and just as lovely as something you would buy at a store.
however, you shouldn't just make someone something because you think you are going to save money. you should still carefully consider the person you are giving your gift to. don't make someone a gift they aren't going to be able to actually use. a scarf would be pretty useless for someone who lives in a warm climate.
