Handmade gifts have a soul in them. The recipient feels that they have been cared for and not just ticked off a “to buy” list. Besides, handicrafts allow you to take care of the environment and are a great way to express yourself. Many people say that they find crocheting a form of prayer and relaxation. You too can discover something special in it.
