Would you appreciate a handmade present?

[Litsea]

Or prefer a generic boots/body shop type gift set?

Handmade bathroom, aromatherapy oil type stuff.

Neither! Most people dislike receiving toiletries IMO

I wouldn't like anything homemade because I have sensitive skin and need to know all the ingredients - sorry

If it was a knitted or handmade item of clothing, jewellery etc definitely but not toiletries or scented products.

Hmmmm. Valid points

I was given a £20 Boots voucher 2 or 3 years ago, I only used it 2 months ago when I thought that they were going under.
So I'd rather have homemade. But I'd prefer homemade soap to oils

No allergies. Home made sounds lovely, generic not.

No, but I’m quite funny generally about home made things.

I'd love some homemade scented veggie soap if you're offering

Bottle of homemade Sloe gin suits me 👍

My skin is so sensitive I'd be afraid to use it. I don't like bought sets either, as unless they are unscented I can't use them.

Now if you made me a scented candle, knitted something or crafted something for me I'd be delighted, really touched.

Homemade and edible, yes

Some people react quite strongly to certain cosmetics etc so unless they've specifically asked for it I'd avoid giving it, whether that is home made or shop bought.

I appreciate other home/hand made items though and, because they're made with more love and more effort has been put into them, they're more special imo

Definitely not anything that my sensitive skin might dislike and definitely not smelly candle/aromatic oil type things.

Most of my family and friends feel the same.

I do appreciate some handmade things, especially edible things like jars of chutney, sloe gin etc. as long as all ingredients are clearly labelled.

Either. I like any gifts, especially bath products.

Definitely handmade if it was made with natural ingredients (and preferably with a list of ingredients included)

Not toiletries but home or garden decor stuff or edibles with a reasonable shelf life ie not truffles which have to be eaten almost immediately.

Food is always good.

As is gin

I love home/handmade!

I love a handmade present, I would definitely appreciate aromatherapy/bathroom things. But I don't have sensitive skin or allergies so don't have to worry about that.

Im going to make some home made Christmas fudge and cinder toffee this year, to go in small hampers, it's so easy and cheap too. Might be a idea for people that might not like smellies.

I also have sensitive skin and lots of allergies. I would prefer a branded product that I am familiar with (this allows me to try testers and have the certainly that the formulation will be consistent).

Now a homemade sponge cake is a different kettle of fish - yum.

Love home made soap.

I would prefer a shop bought gift. Although I am quite happy to receive nothing at all!
