With the holidays quickly approaching, it’s a good idea to get a head start on choosing the perfect presents for the people you love. However, before you head to a shopping mall, you may want to consider making gifts by hand with help from a quilt shop. Here are a few reasons to give handmade gifts this year. 

Why You Should Give Handmade Gifts

1. Show How Much You Care 

A gift recipient will feel extra special receiving something created with them in mind. A handmade gift provides the chance to personalize the item for your loved one, whether you choose to sew a quilt for a sister who doesn’t sew  but loves handmade things or sew a cute pillowcase for your friend. 

When you shop for fabric supplies at a quilt shop, bring along your notes about the people you love to pick materials that speak to their personality.  

2. Offer Something Unique

3. Enjoy a Relaxing Activity

Whether you love to quilt or have recently gotten into sashiko, creating a handmade gift is a fun way to make something special. Some even choose to craft in groups, making it easy to bounce ideas off of other people.

Plus, crafting is a powerful stress reliever that works like meditation since you can lose yourself in the process and relax. If you need a stress release, start your holiday crafts soon.
