Scarves for the infusion unit at the local hospital (for cancer patients). Could be knitted or sewn. The crafters could add beads or rhinestones if they wanted.
Also, there is a local charity by me that puts together a "layette set" for new mothers. People contribute hats, bibs, booties, receiving blankets, diaper bags, small stuffed toys (my favorite is a little felt bear that I make as a rattle by taping together two lids from prescription bottles with rice inside & sewing that inside the bear to make noise), etc. The organization adds in onesies and sleep sacks & presents to the mothers. I like it because each person can decide what they want to contribute.
