Thanks for the good ideas! I'll add those to my list. I am also thinking of:
Civil War reproduction
Batiks - in specific decided-on colors
Asian style
Black & White with red
Stitch 124 - - - if you decide you need a break from your gift making, I hope you'll jump in. Even one set could be a welcome relief to whatever you're working on.
Also - - - I think I'll plan on posting a picture each month because we're visual people, right??
