I don't think a gift has to be bought or new to be of value or a treasure. If you give something that is thoughtful and meaningful to both you and the recipient, then it is a lovely, wonderful thing. The idea of gift giving is to give something you know someone will appreciate and enjoy, not how much money you can spend on it. I once got an old dog item that someone had treasured and it meant a great deal to me because it was special to that person. Go for it if it has meaning for you. It's about the feeling, not the price tag.
