I agree. My kids got a few gifts (nooks to read with) and some clothes. Other than that.... everything was homemade and have to say I have never gotten so many hugs. I about cried when my eldest son (13 and not very huggy... I might get an arm around the shoulder kind of thing) gave me a huge hug for the quilt that I gave him and it wasn't even finished. I got the top done but still have to quilt it. He says he can't wait to have it on his bed. All my children loved their homemade gifts, but this is the one that I will remember giving forever. I just may stick to home made from now on lol. I spent the same amount as usual when you add up the supplies but I think they will get more enjoyment out of this more.
