Sometimes I think people are so spoiled and ungrateful if the gift is not the latest gizmo that is advertised. Give me a handmade gift any day especially if it is made by my DGC or nieces. If it comes from someone else and not to my taste, I will later "gift" it to someone else who it might fit better. For example, I received a frilly apron handmade by a guest who came to visit from out of state with my best friend. Just not my style but I will find someone who appreciates it and it will go to a new home.
