Bad ideas for handmade Christmas gifts
At this point, when the consumerist society is more insensitive than ever, is it still valid to give handmade Christmas gifts?
It depends on the gift and what they have asked the Child of God, right? Because if your loved ones wait for the 24 under the tree to appear a Ferrari or an iPhone, you can hardly make them by handbut if you’re not that picky, here’s a lousy list of bad ideas.
For the cousin who spends his time pouring beer, nothing like a unique and unrepeatable bottle opener, made with all your Creole creativity…
For the aunt who spends her time making preserves, nothing better than beautiful empty jars of jam, subtly decorated…
For the guy who isn’t an alcoholic because he can’t afford to keep drinking, how about some liquor-flavored toothpicks? This way you will always have the taste of the drink in your mouth…
For the arrogant nieces who spend their time taking selfies, a frame for them to pose live and direct…
For the teenage nephews you always give socks to, this year give them cell phone cases, but made with wool from old clothes!
For the children of the family, nothing like a good rubber band made with materials that you find in any patio and/or neighborhood drug store…
For your grandmother, you can replace that glass you broke last vacation with an elegant and unique design derived from a bottle…
For the marijuana brother-in-law, a pipe with a slight corn flavor is ideal…
For the mother-in-law, the first tree in the home garden that she talks about so much…
For grandpa, a safe without a key to store his pension…
To distant relatives, with whom you barely have a political relationship, you can give burnt DVDs with the latest releases, but empty or with university papers! But if you think that the digital is not worth as handmade, easy!… Keychains!
We consulted some of these ideas in Artofmanliness, but others we take from the experience, because we have all been given a gift like this or worse, we have given it. And you, Do you agree or disagree with giving handmade Christmas gifts?
