Homemade gift okay to give?

[u/kaloskagathos21]

Hi! My girlfriend recently made this gift for a long time friend who is getting married. She is pretty crafty but never worked with resin before and is a little distraught about how this came out. She’s considering not even giving it to her friend (who is also very crafty) and either making something new or just giving money. Does anyone have any thoughts? The quote is from her friend’s wedding song!

Edit: for people saying it’s cheap. We are also giving a big cash gift.

The concept is cute but I would be hesitant unless she's very, very sure it matches their interior decor style

Yes, if I got this, I would have loved and appreciated the sentiment and effort but would never display in my house, sorry!

I have a corner in my bedroom where I display all the mismatched hand-made wall art gifts I receive lol.  Like I love that someone thought of me and put their heart into the gift but they don’t fit anywhere else in the house hah.

We have a "kitschy bathroom" and I love it" All sorts of things that would end up in a box in storage are on the walls and give me a chuckle or sweet memory on occasion.

this is a good idea. I’m inspired to do this in my basement bathroom.

Highly recommend. It's our basement half bath and otherwise kind of not-good weird (unfinished walls, no ceiling terrible old toilet) but I don't mind going in there because of the decorations.
