todo a gauge swatch or not


I was just wondering how many people when not making wearable items actual do a gauge swatch or not??? Im embarassed to say i only do it when working on a pattern for publication and then sometimes i forget and have to go back and do one :( does gauge really matter in stuffed animals or jewelry and things of that nature ??) would love to hear what others feel about this please let me know

crochet hugs to all
