This same subject is always discussed regarding cross stitch, which I used to do a lot of! Personalized samplers made with the couples name and wedding date. Framing those can cost lots of money too, hundreds for larger pieces. I know today's world is a lot of matchy-matchy, then toss it all when the theme is changed.
I also read a comment once about those who lived thru the depression always had handmade, so store-bought was a huge, special thing! Everyone is different. It just makes me try to me more expressive in my response when I receive something.
