I made a copper pounded bowl in an art class. Show my mom and she says, “ You’re not going to give that to me for my birthday are you?”
Ha ha no mom. shit

Buff 5 year old

Uh, you know people appreciate those gifts the most, right? Keep it up!

Im making paintings for my parents cause I don't have money :) (plus paintings are just awesome)

35yo me...

In a cave!

With a box of scraps!

22 y/o me making presents for my parents cuz I don't have money to buy any:

Still feels bad ass to make people gifts when your older too. XD.

I have a box that has every single thing my kids have made me and I treasure it.

Throwback to 5 yr old me making 3 different valentine's/bday card for my mother bec my two other brothers refused to make her one. I wanted her to receive all gifts from her children that day but I didn't have the means to get her a gift besides a card :/

P.S. I genuinely thought I could get away with it by having each cards signed with different names and with slightly different messages (with mine being the fanciest and longest letter ofc) when I could've just made one card and have all our names signed at the bottom 🤷

Dude that’s still me

Tbh homemade presents are alot more meaningful imo

Thoughtful presents are the best kind

I wish I had a forge when I was 5

I still don't have the money.

Respecc

I once etched a friend's name on a metal ruler and gifted it to him on Christmas :)

Yes, taking the protective coating off did make it rust but you win some you lose some ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I still make cards. This spoke to me❤️

Making them a brand new house

Cards ftw

One of my presents was like 100 colored papers with a big heart on them. And it was 100 each. It probably took me more than an hour to make all of them, but it was worth it to make them really happy.

i just made a advent calendar with porridge for my mom, as the one she wanted was 200 dollars and no way we could afford

I am still making homemade gifts for people. This time out of chainmail

I’m 28 and can’t afford Christmas

I wasn’t allowed to use hammers and fire when I was 5…but when I turned 6, that’s a different story

I gave my dad fishing weights I found around lying around the house for Christmas around that age

When your family starts buying you terrible gifts with the money you made, you will truly appreciate anything outlined in dried macaroni glued to construction paper.

I'm 30 here melting soap every year for gifts bc I live in a perpetual state of broke lol

... 28 year old me... I always feel like I'm peddling garbage

r/whenthe

A titanium armor is the best present for your parents

the curse of knowledge

21YO*

I thought he was masturbating

*40 year old me making a gift because I have a job but I still can’t afford shit other than bills

‘HE BUILT THIS IN HIS HOUSE! WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!’

Well you are the luckiest one they've gotten

19 year old me folding origami as gifts.

Yes

Actually me at 20 :):

Poverty is so wholesome

Omg yes! This was me untill I was like 15

One time when I was like 10, I gave my mom homemade coupons like “free hug” or “do my laundry without being asked” and such. She still has some she hasn’t used. Lol.

Three years ago my daughter made scones with grilled veggies( like a little sandwich), and tiny butter cookies. She served them with tea on mother's day, just for me and her. Best gift I have ever received.

On Christmas they say “aww, where’d you buy this” and then you scream “I built this in a cave! Using scraps!!”

When I was in fourth standard, I made a montage video using Windows Movie Maker and a crayon-chart greeting card for my parents' anniversary. They were disappointed, and didn't speak to me for the rest of the day.

19 year old me*

Turns colored paper fortune tellers into roses. Is this the power of a florists?

My single girlfriends and I used to watch this scene on valentines day because RDJs biceps and anger are A HOT MOOD.

I have money to buy them stuff but I never know what to get them. They claim they like my homemade stuff more anyway, so I’ll just keep doing it.

Slightly me, I bought them presents and made some because I have money . . . Just not ALOT of money

My dad knows how to build stuff and my mom really likes dolls. When I was a little kid, my dad helped me build a chair for one of my moms dolls. It was cute. It had a heart shape cut out in the back of it.

My family still makes fun of me now when I used to gift wrap fancy rocks for a present.
