Tips for special presents: why handmade is the best gift

The holidays are the perfect time to reflect on what really matters. We look for gifts that are not only beautiful and fun to give, but also have meaning - something that stays, touches and inspires memories.

It tells a story: that of the maker, of the time and attention that have been put into it and of the conscious choice to give something unique.
