MAKING A HANDMADE GIFT
Making a handmade gift is one of the most thoughtful, creative, and meaningful ways to show love to someone. It takes time, effort, and care.

Instead of buying something from a shop, you use your own hands and imagination. You might make a card, paint a picture, knit a scarf, or create a photo album. While making it, you think about the person and what will make them smile. The process may be a little messy, but it is full of joy. When you finally give the gift, the other person feels special and truly appreciated.

Handmade gifts show that love is not about money, but about the heart and the time we give to others.
