What do you think about home made gifts?

I appreciate a gift where it's obvious the person has given it some thought, whether homemade or bought. Food gifts are great because you can eat them-knicknacks not so much-I have a whole shelf of Christmas decorations gathering dust because I live alone and my decorating is minimal. People who know me and put thought into their gifts don't give them to me, except one friend who plans on me regifting-she likes to shop and knows I don't, so that's her gift to me : )
