What Makes A Holiday Meaningful?
I have always loved Christmas. I am sad when I hear people say, “Oh it’s just all commercial.” Christmas, or the holiday you celebrate, is what you make it.
From baking, to decorating, to socializing and gift giving, our traditions have always centered on family, friends, and our spiritual beliefs. It is a time to focus on love for others. Gifts are very thoughtfully chosen or hand created.
When I was 16 years old, my father presented me with a watercolor painting of the Oregon coast. He and I loved to explore the small caves along the coast, and my memories with him are some of my favorites. The painting hangs in my home today, and I cherish it.
Your hand created gift contains your heart and soul, and the love, thoughtfulness, and effort put into creating it. Whether it's carefully stitched needlework, a personalized piece of artwork, or handcrafted furniture, your gift is much more than just the item itself; you are giving a piece of yourself as well.
Some of the items on this list are our most popular projects. We chose to include them because they are useful and beautiful. Enjoy!
