Default gift for dh boss

i need some ideas of what to make for my husbands boss.
she's in her 40's, no kids no husband. doesn't have any particular likes.
hates animals. I've made her an assortment of bags and totes,
potholders and towels. Something not to pricy, but something she'll like.
I thought of a potholder, but she doesn't have any thing in particular
she likes, so what can i do to make it look pretty and that we were
thinking about her. thanks everyone.

Potholders ... just pick out any block pattern that you would like to make and make it!

Alternatively ... instead of a pot holder, use the block pattern and make a candlemat, table topper or runner.

All depends on how large of a present you want ... or how small of a token!

just a small token, about $10-15. I've made her potholders, and tablerunners, and mats. I've made her embroidered bags, and totes. i'm out of ideas.

[h=1]How about an infinity scarf? There are many youtube videos on these cute scarves. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zRyCWbe0Xfc (Not sure this link will work, but you can do a search on youtube)[/h]

How about just a card?

A check to a food shelf in her name?

Does she support any charities?

It does not seem that she needs anything - - - - -

Does it need to be sewing related? I was thinking of homemade bath bombs, or "brownie in a jar" type recipes. Here is a sugar scrub recipe: https://www.theidearoom.net/peppermi...ne-sugar-scrub
Here are some other ideas, such as a do-it-yourself Christmas mug, spa in a jar, apron, etc.:

What do you think about a microwave bowl set? Seems that a woman with no husband or kids would use her microwave quite a bit.

I think an assortment of home-made cookies is very nice too. A friend used to give us a plate of cookies every year at Christmas and we loved it. She is now 91 and doesn't bake anymore.
