The right time to give handmade gifts
Looking for great gift ideas in Singapore? Handicraft items can be used as gifts that express the giver’s thoughtfulness and creativity to the recipient. They are a symbol of your hard work and effort into picking and creating a gift that will speak out to them.
But that isn’t always the case. When giving handmade gifts, one should take measures to select one that is high-quality and made with careful consideration-- a low-quality, poorly made gift tends to have the opposite effect on the receiver. It betrays a certain lack of appreciation for the craft and might make them not appreciate your gift.
