Thread: Two months to crank out ~10 gifts... ideas?!

Pillow cases would be great and for the little one a pillow case in plush fleece would be great. Lots of themed fleece out there.

I try to do something handmade for my family members each year. One year I made lots of fun potholder sets and put together cookbooks for each household. Another year I bought sets of Christmas plaid drinking mugs, filled each with my spice tea recipe and made a tin of pumpkin cookies for each household.

This year I am working on making pillowcases for adults and children from my stash. I am using the pillowcases as the wrapping and will stuff a little something in each. My family knows that I am working on quilts for everyone, so whichever ones I have done by the holiday, I pass those out.

I normally scour clearance aisles throughout the year, especially after holidays, for stocking stuffer items for the Christmas holidays. I have plenty of stuff to stick in the pillow cases. For the teenager, you may want to do some sort of gift card of their interest in a fun wrapping.

Last year I gave my friend's son a gift card to the Itunes store (for music downloads) with an Axe Men gift set (body products)that I found on clearance for $5.00 all in a fun gift bag. If your teen is a girl, maybe you can do a gift card to Bath & Body Works or whatever her interest are. Some have Kindles and want to purchase books or games. You have license to be creative in making 'I am thinking of you' holiday gifts and plenty of time.

I do ten min table runners. They can be used on a dresser too.

I made 4 fabric boxes over the weekend. Your could fill them with whatever you'd like or make sets for the couples.

I'm on my iPad and linking doesn't work well. I just posted a thread about the boxes last week.

I am making table toppers from charm squares. They go together quickly.

I think microwave bowls or pot holders/oven mitts would be good for the married couples and any individual adults. The teen girl would probably love a scarf, either of fleece or a fabric infinity scarf (I have four granddaughters ages 7-16 and they all love their scarves).
For the little one, a pillow case with a favorite character would be great.
Good luck with your projects. I'm sure whatever you make will be well-received. It's the thought that counts.

I just made a bunch of these bags for a craft fair. Most women like them and would find a use for one. Just google "zippered bag tutorial" online if you don't know how to make them.
