As I am retired and on a meager fixed retirement income I am forced to make my presents this year(I like that though). I am now making a Irish hooded scarf with pockets for my wife. Color is a Denim Heather.

That is a nice looking pattern. I think handmade gifts are wonderful. I just hope that your family and friends appreciate the amount of love and time you put into knitting them. Most do.
