How to stay motivated while making holiday gifts?

I’m halfway through gift 2/5 (all beanies) and I am so burnt out already! Last month I made 3 birthday gifts (2 beanies and a bat amigurumi) plus a beanie for myself. When buying the materials for the gifts I also got yarn for myself that I’m really excited to use and wear the FO’s, so I’m trying to tell myself to just power through the gifts so I can make my own...but I’m worried that after the gifts are done I will lose my desire to touch a hook for a long long time. I’m already giving my hooks the side-eye squint lol. Plus I’ll be going back to work soon and won’t have as much free time.

Any advice? I’m considering giving up on the gifts as I doubt my family will actually wear these beanies and aren’t expecting them, and I don’t want these gifts to ruin my love for this craft that usually helps my anxiety and depression. But I also don’t want to be selfish. Help!
