I've really, really been enjoying crafting intentional things for people this season. We're doing a "no-buy" year, meaning that if we do give gifts to anyone, we're using items that we either already have on hand, or that we can forage from our land, or that we can make ourselves. I'm not sure how many of my partner's family members will adhere to our request for no gifts unless they're re-gifted or handmade, but at least amongst our friends it feels really nice to not have the pressure of spending a lot of money. I'm finding also that the gifts just mean so much more to people when they know that this is something that was really thought about deeply, and made for them.
