The most meaningful gift I made someone was two colonial American Girl doll dresses for my niece, and I also made her a wooden doll bed for her Felicity doll. The thing that made it so meaningful was that I let her help me sew the mattress and bedding and that started her interest in sewing!

The most meaningful (and time consuming) gifts I have made for someone is the hand cross stitched birth announcement samplers I did for each of my 5 granddaughters and then had custom framed. They love them, the 2 oldest granddaughters are 18 and 14 and they still have them hanging in their room. My 6th grandchild (a boy) got a machine embroidered birth announcement sampler! It was still meaningful but didn’t have the wherewithal to hand cross stitch another!!
