My family depends on something from the sewing room each year. A few years ago, all 6 grandkids got quilts, Last year, it was purses for the gals and quilted vests for the guys. I keep a supply of hats and scarves knitted up for the unexpected Christmas guest(boy friends/girl friends) that the grandkids bring to our holiday gathering. This year I'm doing some of the microwave bowl holders, table runners and place mats for those with their own homes or apartments and still looking for an idea for the high school group.
