Do you give handmade gifts for Christmas ?

I sometimes give handmade gifts, but only if i know that the recipient will appreciate it or have it as a wish.

What do you do ?

Only for loved ones who appreciate the work.

And only because most people have hardly any idea how much work and, above all, time is involved.
Most people think, oh, it's just your hobby. And you always have time in the evenings anyway.

You could do the math. For the time I invest in hand-knitted socks, the recipient can clean my apartment.
