I agree with the suggestion of a coaster for the work desk. Several of us shared a desk space and there was always a complaint about the sticky desk top.

Covers for travel-size tissues are quick and easy and use scraps. There is a nice tutorial at: http://twobrownbirds.typepad.com/two...sue-cover.html

These are some I made:

There is a great tutorial for small tissue holders in the Tutorial section. And any size little zippered pouches are always nice.

I like this one ---- I need some of those!

I've made gifts for the gals in the office for years now. Some of the things I've made have been:

Rope bowls (made from clothesline rope)
Thread bowls
Coasters
Humbug bags (zippered bags)
Quilted Scarfs
Coke Can Koozies ( a big hit)
Pillow cases
Microwave soup bowl pot holders (these were a big hit -- I even included bowls)
Knitted dish rags
Yarn hot pads (you need a frame to make these on)
Dryer Balls (made from wool yarn)
Pot holders
