Handmade vs. Store Bought Gifts

Let’s get honest! How many of you prefer a handmade gift vs. a store bought gift?

I know a lot of people will tell you to your face that they prefer a handmade gift because they think it’s the politically correct thing to say but if you survey them (anon) they will be honest and tell you that they prefer a store bought gift or a gift card to shop at a store.

For myself personally, it depends on the situation and what kind of handmade gift we are talking about and is it something I would really use or something that would sit around and collect dust. The same goes for a store bought gift! I don’t need any more knickknacks or other nonsense taking up space in my home.

I read some survey results on this topic and an editorial piece on those results and wanted to share it all with you but now I can’t find it. Ugh! With that said, I wanted to hear all of your thoughts on this topic and please…be honest with them!

Do you REALLY prefer handmade gifts over store bought gifts? Thoughts?
