Homemade & Heartmade

Whenever friends or family invite me to their birthdays, anniversaries or just a cozy dinner, I always wonder, if they will prefer a bought present or something homemade.
Even though the receivers always express joy when opening their presents, I am so anxious up until that moment – What if the colour is wrong or the pattern or they simply do not like whatever I have made.

There is no doubt about it – a homemade present is always made from the heart, and a lot of thought (and time) has been put into it from the creator’s side. With that in mind I am certain that many will love to receive a homemade present due to the simple fact that someone care about them.

In case you need inspiration, I have listed a few suggestions for what I find an ideal present.

Presents for the hostess:

  • Dish Cloths/Kitchen Towels (If you do not know the colours in the kitchen, choose a neutral one, ie. grey or off white)
  • Home Spa (Crochet an exfoliating glove and include a moisturizing body wash)
  • Hurricane Candle Holder (Use an empty glass jar and crochet a cover in laze stitches, place a candle inside)
  • Crocheted Cotton Pads
Crocheted Coaster Pattern

Birthday/Anniversary presents:

Crocheted Coaster Pattern
  • Toys, ie. amigurumi (for babies and children or childish souls)
  • Choker necklace/Necktie
  • Blanket – both for babies and adults
  • Scarf, mittens or even a pair of customized flip flops
I hope above is useful and if you have other suggestions, please share with all of us.
