Statistics show gift purchasing has grown to a more than $500 billion dollar industry during the last decade. Due to the growing popularity of online shopping, items available in stores are no longer limited to only customers living in the general area of the store in question. In terms of the shopping industry as a whole, this means that chances of consumers being able to find a unique gift for a friend or relative are becoming more and more difficult. As a result, the sentimental value of one of a kind offerings is growing. Considering the increasing availability of commonplace commodities to the general public, consumers are trending toward hand made gifts for the sense of individuality they seek to bring to the world. In order to fill this newly and rapidly growing niche, grabahook has launched their new shark slippers crochet pattern.
