Glad you added that Linda -- I didn't mean to make it sound like you needed to make something. I just meant some of the simple handmade things meant a lot. I also loved the notes they took the time to write, the toys, the clothes, the wrapping paper, the surprise! I loved it all. I know it was for my pups but I got a much bigger kick out of than even they did. And all of mine loved opening the boxes! Give them a box with some paper to tear up and they are all happy campers.
