  9. My favorite handmade gift was a ‘family tree” that was made from a birch branch and hung all the pictures of our family members.

  10. Guess I should read the comments. My grandma is one of the most special people in my heart! She has Alzheimer’s and is getting increasingly more forgetful, including forgetting who I am. She crochets “ugly blankets” using random bits of yarn. She made me one this year and I will treasure it always!

  19. My family loves making hand made gifts! Some of my favorites- scarves, mittens, slippers and tote bags! I love hand made gifts!

  20. The best handmade gift I ever received were ornaments that had our names on them in Christmas lettering. I love them because I never find anything with my name on it and the person who made them was a good friend. Now every year when I put them on the tree I am reminded of her and pray for her.

  21. Favorite handmade gift was the quilt my mother in law made my first born. She passed away shortly after my daughter was born.

  22. My favorite handmade gift was a scrapbook my husband made with my, at then 4&6 year olds, now 15 & 13!

Now that we have 4 boys, instead of just 2, that never happens! ha,ha, but I do cherish the one he did make! ๐Ÿ™‚

  23. My Grandmother had made some quilts out of silk ties. They were all done by hand…every bit of them…and I have one on my bed right now. It is just gorgeous.

  24. Hand made gifts are by far my favorite. Every year my husband (least crafty person ever!!) makes me one Christmas gift. A few years ago it was a necklace. . .so not him and I loved that he did that.

  25. A dollhouse my mom made for me out of a cardboard box. She wallpapered it, carpeted, decorated it, made and hung curtains in it, and furnished it with upholstered furniture made out of old checkbook boxes.

    I adored it and played with it for years until it fell apart. I still have all the furniture and curtains. Love them!

  26. My favorite handmade gift: Once my best friend’s mother asked me to finish quilting a quilt she had pieced and started but didn’t finish. It took me a very long time. I delivered it to her (she didn’t live near). We had a wonderful meeting that day. She died one week later. A few months later my friend gave me that quilt, and I treasure it. Okay, I have two, because another very elderly lady crocheted me a blanket when I was unable to have children after 15 years of trying, and told me this was for my future children. She died not long after, and a few years later, I had children.

  27. what an amazing giveaway!! i would love to win. My absolutely favorite handmade gift was from my little son who designed flip flops for me. ๐Ÿ™‚

  29. A wedding photo album made by my sister-in-law. A priceless gift! This would be a blessing of a gift for my daughter who sews and makes crafts to sell as she is trying to raise money to go on a missions trip to India. Thank you for the chance!

  30. What an amazing giveaway, and oh what fun I could have!! One of my favorite handmade gifts I’ve ever received was from my grandparents and great grandparents when I was eight. They refinished a dresser with a mirror and my grandma made me a pink gingham quilt, pink curtains (with cute little girls in various poses) and two good sized paintings. In the center of the quilt my grandma had embroidered one of the little girls from the curtain fabric, and the paintings were also girls from the curtains! ๐Ÿ™‚

  31. I have several homemade quilts and embroidered pillowcases made by grandparents and great-grandparents that I treasure!

  32. Feather pillows my Grandmother made for me. Yes, she saved the feathers from chickens she raised and made each grandchild a set of pillows. I still have and use them. The pillows are about 35 years old.

  33. Probably all the things both my grandmothers made, my paternal one made us the most beautiful dresses for hollidays among other things, and my maternal one made us all kinds of things,from doll beds out of oatmeal canisters (complete with mattresses, pillows, and blankets), home made paper dolls, and now as an adult coasters or those crochet topped dishtowels.

  34. I had a student who was really difficult. We struggled all first semester but towards the end I finally got him. He gave me this little hand made christmas tree, made of bits of fabric that year as a christmas present. It was so cool and I could tell it took him a long time to make. Definitely the best handmade present ever!!

  35. what a wonderful giveaway.. my favorite is quilt that my mom and great grandma made for me for christmas.. i still have it and my daughter use it.

  36. My favourite hand made gifts that i have received are cherished treasures that my now adult children made me when they were small. I have a box full of these priceless gifts that always tug at my heartstrings.

  37. My favorite handmade gift I’ve ever received would have to be the skirt my aunt gave me a few years ago. Sure, it wasn’t originally meant for me, but I ended up with it anyway, because I was the only person she knew who would it would fit! It’s actually still my favorite article of clothing.

  38. My boys would cry to know that I had that kind of dough for JoAnn’s and they are 17 and 15! LOL! Oh, the shopping I could do! And no I won’t be doing any of it on-line generally I have to be in the fabric store so I can touch EVERYTHING, yes, I am a little tactile! ๐Ÿ™‚

  39. I’ve actually never received something hand-made! But I have been learning to sew so I can hand-make items for my daughter!

  40. Recently I’ve been trying to get my craft space together, this would really help my efforts! I really love sewing especially but don’t really have the funds to get the supplies I need or want.

  41. I have just started sewing and would LOVE to make use of some of this cool stuff! My prompt was “What is your favorite handmade gift you ever received?”

    My mom died when I was 11 years old. Before she died she had started knitting a blanket which she was never able to finish. MY aunt found the unfinished blanket in her things and decided that it would not remain unfinished. Now, 17 years later, I am pregnant with my first child. My aunt presented the finished blanket to me and this sweet baby girl. My mom wasn’t the best at knitting, and as it turns out was working the pattern all wrong. So, my aunt finished the pattern as it read so I can tell the pieces that my Mother’s Hands worked and the pieces that my Aunt finished.

    I will always cherish that blanket and hope to learn how to knit, so one day I can teach my daughter and tell her the story of how she came to have that beautiful blanket.

  42. I don’t think I have ever received a homemade Christmas present but my son and I made presents for his grandparents last year and they were so fun and awesome!

  43. My grandmother made me a Raggedy Ann doll when I was 10 years old. She did not read the pattern beforehand.. once she started cutting the fabric she realized it was going to be a LARGE Raggedy Ann. She was 3 feet tall which was not even a full foot shorter than I was!! Grandma also included a wardrobe as well, a total of three dresses, two pinafores, two pairs of bloomers, and two pairs of stockings! At 48, I still have her and all of her outfits!

  44. I received a beautiful quilt from my mother. She spent many hours piecing and quilting it; it is such a treasure!
