Unappreciative Receivers of items

I wonder if these people stop and think.....
how many of us, or our kids/relatives, have a special momento such a blanket grandma made, or a dress your mom made you, or a costume from when you were little you and someone special made together.

How many people do you know who keep something off their shower gift registry? When its bought from a store, its just one of many of the same thing. There isnt anything special about it.

When I was first expecting my first child, a had a friend who was also expecting. My baby was due first, and she made a blanket for her. It was nothing special....plain mint green backing, and the type of front that has a pic that you just stitch over. She didnt have a machine, so she did it by hand. My daughter is now 15 and still doesnt sleep without that blanket. It really means a lot to her that before she was even born, somebody cared enough to take the time to make that blanket.

I doubt she would have felt the same way about a mass produced blanket from Penneys.
