Making Christmas presents?
Options
So I've just started a Dmp and told pretty much all my friends that I'm going to be pretty skint for the next few years clearing these past mistakes up, so I wondered just how bad is it really to give someone something you've made?.
I'm trying to become an author and write constantly in my spare time, I love it. Would it be acceptable to give people personalised short stories or poems, maybe framed if short enough. (Personalised to their interests/humour etc)

Thanks guys, I've always been overly generous (which I guess is why I'm now in this situation!) so it's nice to have a little reassurance0

I make gifts for people and they seem to go down well. One 'priceless' gift idea is a promise of some time or a task i.e. an evenings babysitting or oven cleaning. I would be made up if someone offered to clean my oven.
I personally find it rather depressing the amount of overpriced tat in the shops that will end up in landfill this time of year. When did Xmas become the season of retail overspending?

I think your ideas are wonderful, OP! I know I'd be thrilled to receive a gift which had so much thought behind it.

Finding the ideal Xmas present is quite stressful. But their are quite simple home made presents that are wonderful. Make the season merrier by crafting a handful home made Christmas gifts. Including cosy coffee sleeves, ingenious artwork ideas, and personalized home accents and many more. I hope these Christmas gift ideas is sure to wow your loved ones.0
