Letters in the era of instant messages, stargazing in the era of Netflix, cooking in the era of ordering in. Don't these things give a warm and fuzzy feeling? We agree that when activities become more physical than virtual, they create a more mesmeric and compelling experience.
2020 has us all craving some form of closeness with our loved ones. So why not try to give them that warm feeling without disturbing social distancing norms? Of course, you can always send them something off the internet to remind them that you miss them, but will it have a special mention of you or them in it? Probably not.
This is why handmade gifts are way up a notch when it comes to gifting. Hence, here's a few reasons as to why hand made gifts are better than any other item randomly picked, wrapped, and sent to them.
1. Show of Effort - Looking at something that someone invested time in, put in the effort, and made specially for them assures one that they are super loved.
Handmade gifts are all the rage about being a constant remembrance of the relationship between you and them.
2. Personalization - Imagine the extent up to which a gift can be personalized. A handmade gift gives you the freedom to make every inch of the gift about them. No nook or corner is left meaningless when it comes to a handmade gift.
3. Distinction - From photographs to handwritten notes, maybe some homemade chocolates, and a few inside jokes here and there will, of course, make the gift distinct for them. Some memories only you share that can not be expressed via anything else apart from a handmade gift is what will bring the feeling of exclusivity to the gift.
4. Expression - A gift off the market can be special because of the person it is coming from, but never will it contain what you wanted to express to them. All your feelings can be expressed intensely in a handmade gift that you will have as much fun while making as they will have receiving.
Need we say more about why we are pro handmade? We think not. We are sure one such gift will bring out a wider smile on the receiver's face, and in turn on yours too!
