Many people don't like handmade. Both of my grandmothers despise anything like sewing, knitting, handiwork, one told me it was "all busy work, I'd rather get a nice job and buy stuff than make it myself." I think she views it as a symbol of female oppression or something. It's worth noting she wanted to be a doctor but coming of age in the mid-1940s she didn't have much of a chance. Anyhow, I'm glad that as a female I came along in a different time and I don't bother with making homemade for folks that I know won't appreciate it. I go to the big box store to shop for my grandmas When my friend list her mother she threw out all these lovely homemade quilts without telling me "they're just stuff" I was so sad, I could've rehomed them
