I’m of the opinion that gift-giving has a bit more meaning when the gift you give was made by you with someone special in mind. Below are all the gifts we’ve made at Ali Does It over the years, with more to come as they are created. If you’re looking for ideas to give someone you care about something a little bit special, then check out some of these suggestions below.

Forgot to mention , this is a great idea.. Problem here i.e in India I will not find such cute spoons and also the colours which do not run on washing as we hand wash our dishes.
