with another.

Adding a few useful extras ensures longevity of the gift, encouraging proper care & maintenance, giving the gift opportunity to become an heirloom for others to cherish.

Caption: On the tag place 2-3 extra yards of yarn.
This will be a lifesaver if ever holes need repairing or buttons need securing.

Caption: A "coupon" for a free bit of mending by me or a lesson in repair how-to's for the recipient is always a big hit!
I often share further details on laundering the gift as well.
I generally use recycled brown paper bags for these notes as well as wrapping the gift.
An extra thoughtful treat is a small bit of gentle care soap!
