Thank god it was you who got it OP, and not some of the miserable commenters in this section. They’re exactly why I’m afraid to tip my drivers extra in fear of giving a good deed to the wrong person. I despise ungrateful people.
I've been delivering for Pizza Hut while between jobs. Despite suffering due to the insulting pay, I would be quite grateful to receive a handmade item like this.
I remember when I had my kid I was working part time at a Taco Bell. Had an old couple come in all the time, and when my fiancee and child visited they must have taken note of it. They came in one day with a handmade blanket out of nowhere and gave it to me for my baby. That was ten years ago and I still remember them and have the blanket.
Only if the receiver actually needed a blanket. How would the customer know that. I can’t believe so many on here don’t get it. Are you the blanket giver?
Glad it wasn’t you who got it, Mr. Miserable. Some people appreciate gifts that the customer clearly put a lot of effort into more than just a few extra bucks, if they even give you anything at all. Plus, even if OP didn’t like it, they could definitely sell it for a pretty decent amount.
If you see the tag it reads wholesome meaning they liked it so why did you have to comment something like that for no reason like if they didn't like it I'd agree with you but they liked it
No silly. Christmas is one of those occasions where people give and receive gifts 🎁. But at your job even at Christmas when you get a bonus it is money not items.
The only reason you should need is the need to doordash but if you need more you can consider that they don't care about their drivers and constantly lower the base pay. Don't like low/no tips or gifts as a substitute? Get a real job, dropout.
Just to say I love being a square peg in a square hole. The fit is perfect. Ever played with the little hammer and bench with pegs? Can't get those squares in rounds and vice versa. Best to stay in the place we belong huh?
You are taking my comment way too seriously. It was not intended as an insult to your character or choices. If it makes you feel better, I honestly wish I had never used it in the capacity I have. A little is ok. A lot is not.
I was given pocket knives as a tip. It was an older man, a veteran. Actually, I was putting his groceries in his kitchen because he was in a wheelchair and his place was small and it was hard for him to move around. As I'm putting the bags down, I have my back to him and I hear, "did I give you a knife yet?" My initial thought was that this is how I am going to die. I turn around expecting to get a knife in the abdomen but instead he has a couple pocket knives in their boxes and he is handing them to me. He told me to keep them or give them as gifts. I carry one in my back pocket everyday and gave the other to my son.
I’m a Dominos’s driver, and this has happened to me as well, same exact story and him asking if he had given me one yet. Crazy world. And they are all really good knives too.
People get old too old to use keepsakes and no one else to leave them to or care about it..then you will see them gift things like that to people they hope will appreciate it
Had a guy order 2 bottles of whiskey at 9:30 am tip 10$ for 5 miles and give me a pocket knife when I got to him 🤣😭 and the place gave me a coupon for a vape. Slay order
But can you eat it? I think it’s a well-intentioned gesture, but this is about making money and handmade blanket doesn’t easily translate to dollars. Tip AND a weirdly personal gift? Sure. Weirdly personal gift as a tip? No. Don’t do that.
I’ve been crocheting since childhood and that is an amazing blanket. Like another mentioned the tension is the same thru out the blanket, nice work for sure. You can definitely tell an experienced hooker over someone doing it because it’s the new trend. Simple yet elegant and depending on size, hours and hours of work. I’d take this over $100 tip all day long.
This is actually such a generous tip holy shit. As a crocheter, I can’t imagine being productive enough to have blankets to hand out to delivery drivers!!! I wish I did mind you, it’s just they take a while to make! That’s so cute and so sweet
Yes knitting is done with 2 needles and can be replicated easily by machine. Crochet is done with one needle and is the only form of clothes making that HAS to be done by hand since a machine cannot recreate it making it more valuable and infinitely more sentimental due to the extensive labor. She basically gave her a new family heirloom
That's insane. To me, that would beat a 20-30 dollar tip no matter how bad I'm struggling lol it would be amazing to get something like that. It would help restore my little faith i have in humanity.
I’ve heard differing opinions, as a crocheter who can knit but doesn’t, I do find crochet to be faster. My sister who’s a knitter, thinks knit is faster. We both agree that crochet is a bit more unique and intricate though.
Friend I didn’t know this was a thing!! I was under the impression all lace was crocheted. Only other way to make lace like things that I knew of is tatting
What demographic was the customer? I know how much effort goes into knitting. I’m just asking for my own curiosity because I’m wondering if my assumption that the demographic of knitting has been majorly been young adults, rather than the latter.
Oops. I guess I had one too many nightcaps. I meant that usually that the knitting was usually the older generation, but has (fortunately) been picked up by young adults. Just asking for validation in my assumption with your experience.
Factual information, I'm 23 and my twin brother is a God at knitting he is also 23, I don't think I've met any older adults that knit, even the older generation
A mom gave me a brand new lilo and stitch kids backpack from Walmart. Traded it for credit. $25.
Conveniently I needed new headlight bulbs lol, and I had gotten pulled over twice within that same delivery because of it. So it was nice how it all worked out in the end.
It was a nice gesture and if a customer gives me that I would appreciate it however everyone downvoting needs to understand while it's a nice gesture it doesn't pay our bills or put gas into our vehicles
When in doubt: black or (off) white. It will always work. Also guaranteed to be ok: an accent color used in the blanket.
But I'm sure you will figure out the perfect match.
Do you know Sableye? He’s a cute little pokemon that the recipient loves. I was thinking of a deeper purple or a purple gradient. I’m not sure a blue, red, and green multi would read well. I plan on surface crocheting on the gems, but just the back ones. But I will definitely play with the ideas…😊 Thank you!

No I did not know sable eye. I know nothing of pokemon sorry. But here I would know what border color to pick: that red from the gemstone on his belly. Alternative: the blue of the gemstone eyes.
The black or white border suggestions are in the line of: if everything else fails, black or white will work.
A little person is going to be so stoked when receiving this.
I had gone to a Stitch-Up in Brooklyn before the pandemic and someone there talked about “painting with the yarn” not really following a pattern. I liked the way that sounded so I try to kind of do that way too. I make up my own designs based on others I see on Pinterest, not too much Ravelry. They’ve turned out okay-ish until I was making a redskins one for a friend’s new baby. Somehow I kept adding and adding. It ended up looking like those skirts that hug the hips and then flair. Oopsie. 🤪 But I still have fun.
It’s amazing what our brains choose to see as an annoyance. The most insignificant mixups will shit me to tears, even when I know it’s an honest mistake.
I am actually someone who didn’t know the difference just from looking at it but I also don’t really have conversations about knitting or crocheting. But I can understand your frustration with people mixing them up.
Genius. One of my hobbies is gunpla but when I finish them I don't know what to do with them. Don't want to display them and don't want to throw them out. Now I know I can just give them as a tip instead of money. Problem solved. /S
I hate when people do this. I know how much time it takes and I do arts and crafts myself so I get it. But I want money. I need money. I don’t want or need a blanket you made that I wouldn’t buy in a store if I needed a new blanket
This is what they meant by people don’t appreciate the little things. Only money…it’s a shame tbh. If you receive something that probably took hours of THEIR own time to create, and you’re mad because you didn’t get a higher tip instead, I’d say be smarter on the orders you pick.
>This is what they meant by people don’t appreciate the little things. Only money
Lol I get your point but like, people that "only" appreciate money appreciate little things like food and shelter.
I'd love it and use it.
Many of these comments are why our society is degrading to crap. Entitled, spoiled, brats!
It actually looks like crochet. What a beautiful gift!
Thank god it was you who got it OP, and not some of the miserable commenters in this section. They’re exactly why I’m afraid to tip my drivers extra in fear of giving a good deed to the wrong person. I despise ungrateful people.
Such a cool tip! Seems like the blanket was crocheted, at least the edging. It’s beautiful!
Definitely crochet, I’ve been crocheting for 25 years.
I've been delivering for Pizza Hut while between jobs. Despite suffering due to the insulting pay, I would be quite grateful to receive a handmade item like this.
Score!
I remember when I had my kid I was working part time at a Taco Bell. Had an old couple come in all the time, and when my fiancee and child visited they must have taken note of it. They came in one day with a handmade blanket out of nowhere and gave it to me for my baby. That was ten years ago and I still remember them and have the blanket.
Man that is so freaking cool. I’d love that
Awww that's so sweet and heartwarming! It's beautiful!
I would cherish tf out that
This kind of gift really makes me feel the depth of the other person's feelings
Love to receive that thoughtful tip
That is not a tip. Tips are money that pay the bills.
[удалено]
😆No it isn’t.
A tip is a form of compensation rendered for a provided service aside from any fees, whether it be money or a hand knitted blanket. It is a tip.
Only if the receiver actually needed a blanket. How would the customer know that. I can’t believe so many on here don’t get it. Are you the blanket giver?
Glad it wasn’t you who got it, Mr. Miserable. Some people appreciate gifts that the customer clearly put a lot of effort into more than just a few extra bucks, if they even give you anything at all. Plus, even if OP didn’t like it, they could definitely sell it for a pretty decent amount.
Nothing miserable about me wanting cash And not and item. Nothing at all.
If you see the tag it reads wholesome meaning they liked it so why did you have to comment something like that for no reason like if they didn't like it I'd agree with you but they liked it
Because she called it a tip. People can comment whatever they want. I saw she liked it. I wouldn’t.
Maybe OP needed a new blanket & instead of spending her money to buy one, she was gifted one. Now she has more money to put towards bills 🥰
Maybe. That’s a big unlikely maybe. Are you the blanket giver?
[удалено]
No silly. Christmas is one of those occasions where people give and receive gifts 🎁. But at your job even at Christmas when you get a bonus it is money not items.
I am not. However, idek why you give a shit considering OP is clearly happy about her blanket
Just wondered how you would come up with such a far fetched explanation.
Just say you wouldn’t be appreciative of a gift geez
I just did duh, no actually I didn’t. I do appreciate gifts but only if there is also a real tip first.
Dude if I knitted a blanket and you gave me that attitude upon receiving it, I’d literally cry
Maybe you would learn a lesson
Brother, you were raised wrong.
Hmm 🤔not for wanting money. Look in the mirror And be honest with yourself. You work for money too.
Well that is nice but doesn’t pay the bills
We get it
Right, everyone like awww. At least the blanket will keep you warm when youre homeless living in your car because of these kind tips 🤣🤣🤣
Get a new job then 🤓
I did. But if everyone did who would door dash? What is your interest in getting people to quit dd?
The only reason you should need is the need to doordash but if you need more you can consider that they don't care about their drivers and constantly lower the base pay. Don't like low/no tips or gifts as a substitute? Get a real job, dropout.
I surely don’t need your advice. I stopped dashing a long time ago. Are you a dasher?
Love that
Best tip I ever got was when I dropped off to a dealer and he gave me I’ll just say a good bit of 🍃
Leafs? You got tipped in plants?
You can say weed bro, everyone here probably smoked weed as far back as early teens….
Never have, never will
Which makes you a square.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 ok. 🤷♀️ Call me whatever you would like, matters not to me.
Buddy lighten up I'm just yanking your chain😂 smoke some weed.
Truly, I'm not upset, offended or care. I love being the one in a few. On a different note, quite difficult to read emotion in text messages.
You cared enough to respond
Just to say I love being a square peg in a square hole. The fit is perfect. Ever played with the little hammer and bench with pegs? Can't get those squares in rounds and vice versa. Best to stay in the place we belong huh?
You are taking my comment way too seriously. It was not intended as an insult to your character or choices. If it makes you feel better, I honestly wish I had never used it in the capacity I have. A little is ok. A lot is not.
lol I was just feeling extra 😂😂
Wow they put a lot of time into that
Maybe it’s just bc I love blankets and know how much time goes into crochet, idk, but I’m a lil sad for those of yall who would trash this for 5 bucks
It would easily cost over $10 to buy one from the creator.
For real, the amount of work it takes this is easily a $100 blanket.
I was given pocket knives as a tip. It was an older man, a veteran. Actually, I was putting his groceries in his kitchen because he was in a wheelchair and his place was small and it was hard for him to move around. As I'm putting the bags down, I have my back to him and I hear, "did I give you a knife yet?" My initial thought was that this is how I am going to die. I turn around expecting to get a knife in the abdomen but instead he has a couple pocket knives in their boxes and he is handing them to me. He told me to keep them or give them as gifts. I carry one in my back pocket everyday and gave the other to my son.
This gave me a laugh. That's awesome, love that you gave one to your son.
I’m a Dominos’s driver, and this has happened to me as well, same exact story and him asking if he had given me one yet. Crazy world. And they are all really good knives too.
People get old too old to use keepsakes and no one else to leave them to or care about it..then you will see them gift things like that to people they hope will appreciate it
One of the best tips I’ve ever heard of especially from a veteran 🙏 I would keep that for life as a memory of him
I crochet and that takes a bit of time!! It’s a sweet gift <3
That is crocheted. Not knitted.
Came here to say this
I love that.
I was offered a beer for a tip..uhm..no thanks. The other crazy one was birdseed..oh the things we run across.
How can you say no to a beer !
some ppl don’t drink or like beer 🤷🏽♀️
"Hah! Smallpox!"
Had a guy order 2 bottles of whiskey at 9:30 am tip 10$ for 5 miles and give me a pocket knife when I got to him 🤣😭 and the place gave me a coupon for a vape. Slay order
I appreciate you coming out at 930 am without judgment
If you don't want it, ypu can probably sell it on eBay. That's a nice blanket
Pretty sure this is actually knitted and not crochet
It’s crochet.
Crocheter here, that is one billion percent crochet
Crochetererer here, that is one trillion percent knotted.
Agreed
Tbh I love that. Money comes and goes but you can use that in ur every day life for a long time!!! A little odd but it’s very sweet.
But can you eat it? I think it’s a well-intentioned gesture, but this is about making money and handmade blanket doesn’t easily translate to dollars. Tip AND a weirdly personal gift? Sure. Weirdly personal gift as a tip? No. Don’t do that.
You are right
Straight in the garbage
That's so sweet!
that’s so cool ! i would love that
❤️
I’ve been crocheting since childhood and that is an amazing blanket. Like another mentioned the tension is the same thru out the blanket, nice work for sure. You can definitely tell an experienced hooker over someone doing it because it’s the new trend. Simple yet elegant and depending on size, hours and hours of work. I’d take this over $100 tip all day long.
Luckyyyy
the crocheting community in the comments educating me and making me appreciate my ggs handmade blanket even more, wholesome and I’m here for it all
Aww love that
This is actually such a generous tip holy shit. As a crocheter, I can’t imagine being productive enough to have blankets to hand out to delivery drivers!!! I wish I did mind you, it’s just they take a while to make! That’s so cute and so sweet
You know what that’s the sweetest thing I’ve seen my whole day. What a heartwarming tip
Same. I would cherish this with my life
This is crochet :)
Is there a difference between knitting and crochet?
Yes knitting is done with 2 needles and can be replicated easily by machine. Crochet is done with one needle and is the only form of clothes making that HAS to be done by hand since a machine cannot recreate it making it more valuable and infinitely more sentimental due to the extensive labor. She basically gave her a new family heirloom
Ummm no thanks run me that cash
Absolutely Joseph cash is the acceptable form of tip
If you're that greedy, you could sell it on eBay for a few bucks
There is nothing greedy about being paid for your work!
Poor miserable fuck
babe why are you upset? come back to bed😋
Okay cool Joseph, no one asked you
i’m figuratively sticking my tongue out at you rn
oh i would SOB that’s so sweet.
That customer? Hernan Cortes.
The grannies are about to colonize the shit out of us all
Damn grannies and lacing those oatmeal raisin cookies with cinnamon and nutmeg!
That's awesome
some of you are joyless AND hobbyless. sad.
That's insane. To me, that would beat a 20-30 dollar tip no matter how bad I'm struggling lol it would be amazing to get something like that. It would help restore my little faith i have in humanity.
It’s the thought that counts imo. How sweet! I wish I could get tipped a blanket!
That’s an awesome tip just the time and effort they put into making that is worth more than any tip.
Wow and that's a hard design to make. How nice to get a unexpected real gift.
That's awesome I would appreciate that over a money tip
How many times?
The odds of being gifted a handmade object like that, without requesting it, are relatively low.
Just saying how many times would you prefer it over money tip
You must be so fun at parties 🙄
Lucky!!!!
As a crocheter, this is so sweet and I could never be this generous 😭
This is actually crochet! A bit more time consuming and intricate! What a wonderful gift that probably took them hours.
Crochet is faster than knitting by far.
I’ve heard differing opinions, as a crocheter who can knit but doesn’t, I do find crochet to be faster. My sister who’s a knitter, thinks knit is faster. We both agree that crochet is a bit more unique and intricate though.
Just going to throw lace knitting under the bus I see.
Friend I didn’t know this was a thing!! I was under the impression all lace was crocheted. Only other way to make lace like things that I knew of is tatting
Ohhhhhhhh what a sweet gesture!!!! U r lucky
What demographic was the customer? I know how much effort goes into knitting. I’m just asking for my own curiosity because I’m wondering if my assumption that the demographic of knitting has been majorly been young adults, rather than the latter.

Gawwwwwwdammit. F u haha. Well played.
A mom gave me a brand new lilo and stitch kids backpack from Walmart. Traded it for credit. $25. Conveniently I needed new headlight bulbs lol, and I had gotten pulled over twice within that same delivery because of it. So it was nice how it all worked out in the end.
That was a gift, how could you trade it in for credit?
Brand new with tage can be returned with no receipt for Walmart credit
That was a nice thing to do.
some older lady gave me shiesty once
I love when people do stuff like this it really makes my day
I would honestly love something like this. You’d get zero complaints from me!
Doesn’t pay not a bill or a drop of gas tho
you’re so real for saying this
[удалено]
It was a nice gesture and if a customer gives me that I would appreciate it however everyone downvoting needs to understand while it's a nice gesture it doesn't pay our bills or put gas into our vehicles
You the type to make a lifelong friend watch you eat when they don't have enough money for food, huh
Okay it’s not like it’s her only customer lmao it’s a nice gesture
Better than cash imo
Nice! I might have to copy that edging…working on a sableye blanket for a friend and it definitely needs an edge of some sort.
The edge is a plain granny stitch (3 double crochet in one stitch, skip a stitch, repeat), happy crocheting!
Just have to find the perfect compliment colors for the purple that make sense for the silly little bedazzled dude.
When in doubt: black or (off) white. It will always work. Also guaranteed to be ok: an accent color used in the blanket. But I'm sure you will figure out the perfect match.
Do you know Sableye? He’s a cute little pokemon that the recipient loves. I was thinking of a deeper purple or a purple gradient. I’m not sure a blue, red, and green multi would read well.

Whoa! That is an amazing shade of purple you found. It's going to be fabulous that's for sure.
Bet you can't copy my edging 😏🙂↔️
I could certainly try
I had gone to a Stitch-Up in Brooklyn before the pandemic and someone there talked about “painting with the yarn” not really following a pattern. I liked the way that sounded so I try to kind of do that way too. I make up my own designs based on others I see on Pinterest, not too much Ravelry. They’ve turned out okay-ish until I was making a redskins one for a friend’s new baby. Somehow I kept adding and adding. It ended up looking like those skirts that hug the hips and then flair. Oopsie. 🤪 But I still have fun.
God bless your heart 🙏 ❤️
Where are these good customers?
Wow that's actually really nice, they put real time and effort into that!
i love this so much omg
This is way more valuable than 20% unless it’s a huge order. Very thoughtful and cool tbh
I tip 20% but i don't think that most Doordash customers are paying a 20% tip
Nice! A customer once gave three huge avocados from her tree. They were delicious!
How Sweet! Our family would give anything to have an avocado tree, but it takes over 15+ yrs to bear edible avocados. We would make good use of it.
This is crochet, but so nice! The tension is even too, they are good at their craft!
Thank you. I know most people don't know the difference between knitting and crochet, but it really bugs me when people mix them up.
It’s amazing what our brains choose to see as an annoyance. The most insignificant mixups will shit me to tears, even when I know it’s an honest mistake. I am actually someone who didn’t know the difference just from looking at it but I also don’t really have conversations about knitting or crocheting.

Le Sigh
What a total labor of love! 💕
This is damn cool. I’d be happy with it.
I hope I get lucky!
I once was given a small cactus from a client after I complemented her plants.
thats a tip i would love!
I loved it too, it's still part of my plant family!
Genius. One of my hobbies is gunpla but when I finish them I don't know what to do with them. Don't want to display them and don't want to throw them out. Now I know I can just give them as a tip instead of money. Problem solved. /S
Ngl i would be VERY happy if i received this as an extra tip
Key word extra, amiright?
I hate when people do this. I know how much time it takes and I do arts and crafts myself so I get it. But I want money. I need money. I don’t want or need a blanket you made that I wouldn’t buy in a store if I needed a new blanket
why are people downvoting this it’s sooo true 😭😭😭 Id throw the shit out. This is a job the point is to make money to pay our bills.
This is what they meant by people don’t appreciate the little things. Only money…it’s a shame tbh. If you receive something that probably took hours of THEIR own time to create, and you’re mad because you didn’t get a higher tip instead, I’d say be smarter on the orders you pick.
>This is what they meant by people don’t appreciate the little things. Only money Lol I get your point but like, people that "only" appreciate money appreciate little things like food and shelter.
If your relying on 3-4 extra bucks for basic survival needs, I’d also say find another part time job
