You may be crafty and have a niche for making cool gifts, but does that mean you should give your homemade creation to family and friends this gift giving season? It depends. There are some considerations on whether your homemade gift will be well received. Links:  Follow our Facebook, Instagram and Twitter pages! Learn more about Triangle Credit Union Transcript: Welcome to Money Tip Tuesday from the Making Money Personal podcast. Your intentions may be great, and if you want to make sure your homemade gift is well received, here are some practical considerations to think about before you spend 8 hours knitting a sweater for your aunt, who lives in Florida and suffers from chronic hot flashes:  STYLE: Is your gift something the recipient would pick out for herself? This is probably the first question in the litmus test. I love to make family ornaments to give to my husband's seven siblings—the problem is some of his siblings don't have the same taste that I have. These ornaments have more a modern farmhouse theme, and one sister is a gold leaf gal who loves Italian impressionists, and her Christmas tree is decked out in gold balls. Be considerate of how these gifts may be received. If you can adapt to each one's interests, then that's best. PALATE – No, this does mean pallet furniture. This is about physical taste, as in food gifts. My best friend is a connoisseur of butter crunch and her annual gift of a tin of butter crunch is received with great anticipation and fanfare every year. If you have a special recipe and are excited about sharing the best chocolate walnut fudge recipe ever—do remember those with allergies and plan accordingly. SIZE – It's not the size of the box that matters, right? Correct. What's in the box is more important, but if your daughter lives in a 200 square foot studio, she may have to move if Dad makes her a handmade armoire. Homemade gifts are heartwarming, sentimental, and cherished. Each gift reflects the giver's time and effort…and truly, there is no higher commodity than someone's time. If you make homemade gifts, or are interested in trying something new this season, do a little discovery. What do your relatives want? What are their interests? What's trending on Pinterest, and here's a pro tip: Whatever you give, make the unboxing experience amazing! Unboxing has become a gift in and of itself so take the extra time, like you did when making the gift, to create a beautiful gift presentation. May you have a wonderful time of craft making and enjoy the season of giving! If you have any comments or ideas for additional tips, please email us at tcupodcast@trianglecu.org. Be sure to follow the Making Money Personal podcast page on Facebook and IG for more great content. Thank you to our sponsor, Triangle Credit Union, and to you for tuning in! Have a great day everyone!

Certainly the "best" homemade gifts is subjective, but I'm basing this list on the gifts I've given or received and had the gift receiver come back and compliment, or ask for the recipe (or more) of what you gifted them! To me, that's a pretty big compliment. For more information, or to read the podcast transcript, visit melissaknorris.com/284.

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with a little Chicken Soup for the Soul inspiration for you, and today I’m sharing two stories from our new bestseller, Chicken Soup for the Soul: Christmas Is in the Air. I don’t know about you, but this year I’m planning to give some homemade gifts. It just seems appropriate since we’ve all been home for months, and in my case I’ve learned some new skills. So I loved these two stories in our new book about two women who discovered how much their families enjoyed receiving homemade gifts instead of ones bought at a store.

LH 169: Easy Ideas for All-Natural Gifts From Your Garden There’s something special about a homemade gift. But it becomes even more special when it includes a little piece of your garden as well. It can be as simple as a dried flower or an herbal sprig. But that added touch means that you are sharing something that you nurtured with your own hands. And THAT can't be found in a store. In today’s episode, host Theresa Loe brought back garden author, Stephanie Rose, to share her tips and insights into making extraordinary crafts that can be shared as gifts. And she has graciously included a recipe for Tub Tea that you can print out and make this holiday season…or any time of the year. Just got to our show notes at: www.LivingHomegrown.com/169 to print the recipe/instructions. You will learn: Why botanical gifts can be the best gifts of all What type of equipment is needed when crafting at home Why we should avoid chemicals on our skin The difference between essential oils and fragrance oils What a lotion bar is and how they are made What are bath melts The joys of Tub Tea Tips for gift wrapping the things you make How long homemade body products last And SO much more...  As always, you can get more links and resources at www.LivingHomegrown.com/169 as well as a full transcript of the show.
