I have seen boxes that were over $200.00 if they were a penny..
... I don't even want to post how much I have spent... even with making a lot of the gifts-- but it is over $75.00- and if you price it as retail well ? But because I have a talent to sew may mean the gifts are wonderful to some, but other may be disappointed in "made" gifts... it does get complicated.
To be honest I get a little carried away with the sewing and making and planning.. that is the fun but putting a max amount may be good too?
I think a lot has to do with expectations and we all need to be on the same page.
I will close with this ... I have been blown away with the friendship and generosity I have had shown me in this last ge... I think that caring is the most priceless thing of all!!
