 People would have their favorite gifts that they received on their birthday. On my 11th birthday, I invited my friends to my house so that we could have a great time together. They showered me with elaborately wrapped, beautiful presents. Among them, I received a hand-knitted mini bag from my friend Tiffany and it was the best gift I had ever received.

 I was surprised to receive this custom-made gift because I expected to receive small gifts fresh out of a department store or a similar sort of place. However, Tiffany shyly handed me a small paper wrapped gift, saying “I made it for you! Hope you like it.” My reaction was “Wow, how could you make this?” It shows how much my friend thought of me. Indeed, she spent so many hours working on this art piece just for me. Regardless of my personal taste or the perfectness of the gift, I was moved by it - the gift of my friend’s custom-made mini tote bag. Of course, Tiffany proved her advanced knitting skills as this bag was undeniably pretty. I liked the colors and the design of the bag, with a colorful rainbow contrasted on the black background. It looked adorable and I couldn’t stop looking at it. My other friends also complimented how cute it was. Also, the details of this little bag was remarkable, which included a small pocket inside the bag, a handy feature that serves as a purse.
