<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bluumz, post: 197656, member: 649&quot;]Another unappreciative gift recipient:</p><p>I love to do hand smocking/embroidery. One year, I made the women of the family (my mother, sister, and sister-in-law) handsewn lavender sachets, very nice for tucking into lingerie drawers. Each was completely handmade by me and painstakingly hand-embroidered with their own initial among colorful flowers using a variety of stitches. Each sachet took hours and hours to do.</p><p>The next Christmas, the sachet I gave my SIL showed up in the White Elephant silly gift game we play. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" /></p><p>I realize that some people just don&#039;t put the value on handmade gifts that I do but it still hurt.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
