When we think about the gifts we plan to give the people in our family for Christmas - or a birthday - we tend to think about a gift we will purchase. While there is certainly nothing wrong with purchasing a gift, think this year about giving a gift you make to those on your list - December 3rd was National Make a Gift Day - which clearly I missed, but there is still time to make gifts for the ones you love, so today I'm writing about this. When my grands were younger I made crocheted hats for them each Christmas. One year I decided to make something different and crocheted them each a scarf - it looked like a tongue sticking out a mouth with teeth! I just couldn't crochet a simple scarf!
Whether you crochet, sew, knit, bake, paint, or craft with beads or something else, consider making at least one gift for the people on your list. It is a wonderful way to give a part of yourself to those you love - and gives you the opportunity to pray for the person receiving the gift while you make it.
What do you do to craft gifts for the people you love?
