When an item is handmade, a part of the designer goes into that piece. Artists put ideas, personality, style, uniqueness into their work. When you find a handmade good that is just right, you find a gift that speaks volumes about who you are. Being able to support artists creates a strong community and makes special bonds. Sending a personal message to someone that created your favorite dress is immensely different than grabbing someone with a nametag and telling them how much you love your new necklace. Owning goods to which you can put a name or a face to is an amazing experince that creates a very personal connection to an item. When it can stop being stuff and start being art, the value of it shifts. Most handmade items don't usually end up in the trash bin in five years or become outdated. Handmade goods become pieces of the heart and soul that hold memories of special times and people. They are unique and many times one of a kind, so there is little possibility of seeing someone with the exact same item. Having a one of a kind item makes that item even more special to the recipient.
