Make your own gifts to get back to basics
Christmas has not always been a holiday where many gifts were given! Initially, this pagan holiday became Christian to celebrate the birth of Jesus. Gifts that represent those that the Magi gave to the newborn baby began to be made at the end of the 18th century. Remember what your grandparents told you, often they received an orange! And they were the happiest then. The main thing was in the gesture and the sharing.
But the consumer society has made Christmas a big holiday where gifts are the stars. Yet so many people resell the gifts they receive that it makes you think about the very meaning of the gift. This is often bought in a hurry without really thinking about what would affect the recipient the most. Obviously, the lack of time urges us to push the doors of shops or go to a site to fill a basket in a few clicks. By making a gift yourself, you reconnect with the desire to share and to truly please.
Offering a macrame creation allows you to:
- create a tailor-made gift;
- make a pretty and original gift to create a surprise;
- make a gift on which you have spent time and therefore in which you are really invested. It touches because you have placed all your affection there;
- give a memorable present that anchors a memory in time.
