Homemade Gifts. AIBU or is he?

[WonderLime]

This evening, whilst stuck under a sleeping baby, I’ve spend the evening browsing Pinterest. I’ve seen some great home made gift ideas and I was feeling really inspired.

DP comes home and I tell him about my idea to make a homemade gift for my Secret Santa present this year, as I think I can do something really cool with a limited budget (I’d been thinking bath bombs and sugar scrubs as they look easy).

DP says that ‘no one appreciates home made gifts unless they are really, really good - and anyway, it will end up costing you more’.

I’d told him just today how I’d been feeling quite low and fed up being on maternity leave, so it was nice to feel excited about something. However now I feel disheartened and don’t see the point anymore.

AIBU thinking about making home made gifts, or was his response unreasonable?

They look brilliant op. Absolutely nothing wrong with homemade. My daughter made truffles for her friends about 5 years ago, big mistake as she now has to do it every year for her friends and their partners by request. Glad you have found something to lift your spirits.

Well done WonderLime they look good, hope they pass the bath test!

I'd love fudge or brownies as a gift. Taking care to present it in a nice jar with some ribbon or a fancy tag really makes it feel special.
