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:
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.
