I recently made gifts for a wedding shower I went to & they were very well received. I made placemats, napkins, a bread basket liner (from a tut on this board- I've made many of these & everyone loves them) & a wine vest (a little vest that goes around a wine bottle). I got a nice basket for the bread basket liner. I, too was worried that they might think it was chincey or cheap but she really seemed to like them. I put a little note on the basket liner saying what it was and one on the wine vest too.
