Ren Kexin is preparing a Christmas gift for her best friend. It is a cross-stitch(十字绣). Making the gift takes up a lot of her free time.
“I’m interested in making gifts myself,” said the Grade 10 girl, “and I believe my friend will like it very much.”
Many Chinese students make gifts instead of buying them. Ren is one of them. A DIY gift is not only cheaper but also interesting to make and it has a special meaning.
Teenagers also make other gifts like bracelets(手链) and Chinese ties. “Gift shops may sell many of them, but any gift you make yourself is unique,” Zheng Ruobing, a 16-year-old girl said. She once made a gift for an American teacher. Her teacher was excited with the cross-stitch.
However, not all students are DIY fans. Luo Dinghan thinks making gifts is a waste of time. “I often buy gifts for my friends, as time is more important than money,” he said. “And some gifts you get from stores are much more beautiful.”

任可欣正在为她最好的朋友准备一份圣诞礼物。那是一幅十字绣。制作这份礼物占用了她很多空闲时间。
“我对自己制作礼物很感兴趣，”这位高一的女孩说，“而且我相信我的朋友会非常喜欢它。”
许多中国学生选择自己制作礼物而不是购买。任可欣就是其中之一。一份手工制作（DIY）的礼物不仅更便宜，而且制作起来很有趣，并且它有着特殊的意义。
青少年们还会制作其他礼物，比如手链和中国结。“礼品店可能会出售很多这类东西，但你自己制作的任何礼物都是独一无二的，”16岁的女孩郑若冰说。她曾经为一位美国老师制作过一份礼物。她的老师对那幅十字绣感到很兴奋。
然而，并不是所有的学生都是手工制作（DIY）的爱好者。罗定翰认为制作礼物是浪费时间。“我经常给我的朋友买礼物，因为时间比金钱更重要，”他说，“而且从商店里买到的一些礼物要漂亮得多。”
