I spent some time locating those who use such things. The church where we vote at also produces blankets for homeless shelters and I donate any sewing materials I don't need to them.
That said, how about making a small 'sewing themed' wall quilt and add some bobbins to it for effect? I've also made gifts of sewing kits for non-sewers. The bobbins take up less space and you could include 4 in different colors.
