Do you ever struggle with choosing gifts? For me, I give at least 10 gifts every year: parents’ birthdays, husband’s birthday, friends’ birthdays, wedding anniversaries, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, friends’ weddings, etc. I once gave my husband the graphics card he had been wanting, and he was very happy when he received it, but a year later he liked a different model. I gave my mother expensive high heels, but she rarely goes out, and after happily trying them on once, she never wore them again. I gave a friend a pair of carefully selected cute cups as a wedding gift, but when I later visited her house, I found that the packaging hadn’t even been opened…

After discovering that the gifts I had carefully chosen were being put on a shelf, I began to think: what is the best gift? If our gift appears to the recipient as an everyday, readily available item, it will be difficult for them to feel our blessings and sincerity, and it will also cause a great deal of idle waste. The essence of a gift is the embodiment of emotion; it carries our most sincere feelings, and when the recipient touches it, they can feel warmth and comfort. With this in mind, I found what I believe to be the perfect gift—handmade wool felt products. Wool can be shaped into any desired form; it is natural, safe, durable, and easy to carry. The following is the birthday gift I gave my husband, and it was also my first time trying this way of giving gifts. I chose Loopy, his favorite cartoon character. This gift is now placed in the most visible spot on his bedside table, so he can see it every morning when he opens his eyes.

Here are the handmade wool felt line puppies that I gave to my friend for her birthday. They were two that she had been trying to get in a blind box series for a long time. She loved them and even carefully arranged “luxury cars” for them.

The joy of my husband and friends encouraged me greatly, and I began to try realistic images. The following is the dog that has been with my father for five years, which I gave him for his birthday.

When my father saw this gift, he was so excited that he shed tears. Not only was it a perfect replica of the dog that had been with him for many years, but he was also touched that I was willing to spend months making this unique gift for him stitch by stitch, making him feel incredibly lucky and warm. “For me, this gift is more precious than the most expensive diamond in the world,” he said as he hugged me with tears in his eyes.

This is a fast-paced era, and time is the most luxurious gift. I am willing to put down my phone, stop, and make a unique gift for you and your loved ones stitch by stitch. When you touch it, you will feel my sincerity. This gift will forever remind the recipient: in this world, there is someone willing to stop for you and carefully weave a unique blessing.
