Need Help for Gifts given for Christmas

[rshseaeagle]

Hello All,

Where do go when you need some answers? Well Crochetville of Course!

 

I made gifts for my son's teachers for Christmas this year. We gave each one of them a trinket bowl made from ww cotton so they are about 5 1/2 inches across and a crocheted snowflake. I didn't even think to include a note explaining what the trinket bowls were for. I also sent one to my son and future daughter in law who asked what the heck they were.

 

Now I wonder if the teachers know what they are for? What should I do? Should I send a note in telling them what they are and what to do with them or just let it be?

 

Thanks alot,

TLOL,

Toni

I'd leave it be. Since it can be used for many things. Like candy, or trinkets or to put your keys in or.....

Let it go. If someone gave me a bowl like that, I'd be able to figure out what to use it for (which im my case would be to keep hersheys kisses close at hand).

Just how difficult is it to figure out that something bowl shaped is a bowl? Of course, last year I crocheted wash clothes for Christmas gifts. I wrapped 3 wash cloths together with a very nice bar of face soap from Bee Folks. Now to me, it seemed obvious that the 3 crocheted squares made from worsted weight cotton,with a bar of soap, would be wash cloths, as things given together generally go together. I had two people thank me for the nice doilies.....

See what I mean Faedragon. My son who is an attorney called me and said what is the blue round thing for? I also made him a 1900's dragon filet (it's in doilies show and tell) and he thought is was supposed to be something like a data card. He didn't realize it was a dragon until I told him. He must have originally thought I lost my mind sending him such things. Once I explained what they were he really like them.

 

I will take all your wonderful advice and just let it go.

 

Thanks everyone,
