I get some hand-made gifts from my mom like kitchen towles to go over the handle of the stove, embroidered dish towels and so on. Mom knows I won't make those for myself, so she does. My mom said she would make me a quilt, but I can make my own.
My mother-in-law is into glass fusing and said she is making something for me, but I have yet to see it. My mother-in-law and I have complete opposite tastes in art and craft items, so she tends to not make me things. I do like to make things for people that I know will appreciate it. If there is a chance they won't use it, treat it well, or will not like it, I will not put the time and money into making something for them.
