What I learned I never give something handcrafted to this people. But as always there are exceptions...and for those people it is a joy to give e.g. a quilt.
I agree and most of them just plain don't appreciate or want anything that is hand crafted. In their minds, store bought is better. They truly would prefer a quilt purchased from Cracker Barrel or some other store than one hand crafted and it's truly their loss. The decor of their homes totally show this too as they tend to be homes without warmth and missing really personal items. Just my opinion.
