I love them because it shows the person took the time and effort to make you something. Who cares how much a gift costs.. as long as it is from the heart.

Answer 2

Yes I do. I prefer people buying me stuff.

Answer 3

no. it shows that you care about someone and that you care and them and you took the time to make it. whereas, buying is impersonal.

Answer 4

Only if they were made by me LOL

Answer 5

Pure tacky ewww i end up throwing in the bin lol

Answer 6

i think its cool, not everybody has money to blow on their friends and family, its the thought that counts

Answer 7

no. One of my best friends gave me a card with a silly pic of me when i was little and had a little saying in it. i love that card

Answer 8

I'm an artist and everyone always wants hand made presents from me but I always worry with this same question in mind. Also its a pain in the anus and much easier to go to Walmart.

Answer 9

I truly appreciate it. If someone cares enough to take the time and effort to make me something they must really care. Money doesn't always buy the best gifts.

Answer 10

No! Because homemade gifts come from people's pure heart. And I also think gifts are better homemade that means you can't find anyone else with your gift. Not enless the person that gave it to you makes another one.

Answer 11

No it says you put a lot of thought in the gift. You know whats bad people who regift.

Answer 12

I think it means more cause they had to put more thought into who you are to actually make you something you would like

Answer 13

u can clearly tell the difference from a person trying to be stingy and the person that cares from the quality of the present.

i appriciate handmade presents from a pesron who cares...it means they were actually bothered to sit there and make something for you....i think thats quite sweet....

Answer 14

I am honored that person took the time and thought enough of me to make me something. It is the thought more than the actual gift sometimes.

Answer 15

no. i think sometimes they can be even better than a store bought gift. last year my best friend made handmade soaps for everyone. she used all different shapes & colors and they were really pretty.

Answer 16

No... I don't think it's tacky at all. It depends on the givers motivation. If there just being cheap, I'd prefer they gave me nothing at all. If it came from the heart, I'd cherish it.

Answer 17

I don't think it's tacky at all. I would much rather get a handmade gift that someone put thought and effort into. It means a lot to know that someone made that gift with you in mind.

What is tacky is getting one of those lame gifts like a Chia pet, or a coin organizer or something. I would rather just get a nice card instead of one of those "Oh yeah, I guess I'd better buy you a gift" gift.

Answer 18

Not at all my best friend did an oil painting for me one year and I cherish it. The only one that would be tacky is the macaroni necklace from an adult.

Answer 19

if someone has the knack to do stuff like that..more power to them...i got a present once,and it was a jar ,decorated on the outside very pretty,and inside was a small strand of clear christmas lights,in some pot` pourrii`.it was a great gift and a neat idea..

Answer 20

NO NO NO.....


Handmade Christmas gifts are NOT tacky. It shows that the person cared enough to give you something that they made with their own hands, whether they could afford better or not. They made something just for you, putting a bit of themselves into it, since there is not another gift like that in the world....

Answer 21

I Look At It As If Someone Really took The Time Make Me Something And I Rather Have Something Handmade then Store Bought Because I Know They Took the Time To Make It By Hand

Answer 22

I love hand made gifts,those come from the heart and it was made just for me not everyone else who can go out and buy them every day.

Answer 23

No l don't.

Answer 24

no

Answer 25

no
