How do you get over the lack of reaction to gifts that you spend so much time on?
Finish it for them. They may have been disappointed that they did not receive a finished gift (even if they understood the circumstances). Often when a person receives an unfinished gift (even if the giver intends to finish it), there can be hard feelings of unworthiness.
