I love handmade because you can feel the love that went into creating each piece. The individualism is also nice - to look around a world where a lot of people have the same thing and know that yours is different.
Nimrodita couldn't have said it better. I feel the same way. It is so satisfying to know that you have something that is special and was made with great love and care. That can't be said about products that are mass produces. It's even more special when someone compliments something and I get to tell them the story of it.
Handmade is supporting an artist's work, not a CEO's vacation home.

I like that it is a way to own something original and beautiful
I love handmade because it is always something special and unique - even if there are several copies available, they will never be exactly the same.
Handmade shows time and care. It's dedication. It's more personal. I prefer to support small businesses, especially those of my friends, than large anonymous businesses that only care about their profit and not their product or their employees.
Also handmade is usually more unique and thoughtful of a gift. No two are exactly the same.
I love handmade because it's more unique and personal. I prefer to support small businesses instead of large corporations that don't care about their products, customers, or employees.
Handmade products show the care and dedication of their makers and each is unique. No two are ever the same.
I love handmade........everything! I have always made things since I can remember. I believe in supporting us folks that take pride in everything we make. Big corporations really don't care what we think and how we want to use our products.
I love handmade because it is made by someone who cares about the item and is passionate about what they do. They also want to share that with other people. I would rather support that than a company that doesn't care about their products or their staff.

I love thinking about the person making a craft that they love. Items with fragrances are even better because they are the gift that keeps on giving! I also love to use handmade items in my BAM sets that I sell in my shop and am always looking for new companies to try out.
Kerry Ann Vollmer: I love homemade because of all the LOVE put into it, generally the homemaker loves what they do and it doesn't come with a Made in China sticker on it :-) Seriously there is absolutely nothing on earth that says more than a homemade product.
I love handmade too because handmade is the kind of creativity. I appreciate your work.
