I did not add anything that I myself wouldn't like to receive, my sp and I have quite a bit in common and I added some of my favorite fabric(s) and items, plus a really neat V****** S***** item.
(no worries I did not breach my $10 limit, Joann's near us is closing in July and has been clearancing out lots)
no more hints from me though :)
You don't have to make anything.It's just a way to save some$ and give a personal touch. I have sent pakages with no homemade gifts. Just depends on what I have and what the person likes. I usually make items that don't take long such as pot holders,tissue covers manicure kits etc. I make these when I have just a little time to sew and don't want to work on quilting.Just gives me something to do and helps add to my goodie bag. These things don't really count in the $10 limit.just like your own stash does'nt.Hope this makes things clearer.I didn't mean you have to make anything.Just giving ideas to the new comers. Mary
