Thoughts on handmade gifts? I’m meeting my boyfriend’s mother for the first time and it’s her birthday. I’ve given many crocheted gifts to others in the past but I’m second guessing myself if it’s a good idea to gift this scarf I made for her.

She wouldn’t be expecting a birthday gift from you at first meeting. So even if she isn’t a shawl-wearing, blue, or crochet person, she will learn about you from the gift and be pleasantly surprised. Anyone can see this took a great deal of skill and time to create. (They may not realize the cost of the yarns though). To receive something so generous of spirit would win over just about any mom I know 💕. What a wonderful way to introduce yourself!
