    I just finished making Christmas tree napkins for a Guild do. Large half circles, face to face. Sew around and then turn inside out and topstitch. Then fold into tree patterns. Check youtube for the directions.

    A very useful gift is a Bah! Humbug Bag for your sewing friends. You can look up the pattern as it has been around for years. I made one for everyone in my guild one year and they were well-received.

    One year I gave my Dr. and all those that worked in the clinic a Kleenex holder and they said they really appreciated them, especially since it is the cold and flu system; plus they work up quickly.

    Lavender sachets were a huge hit for my work friends last year. I actually made them for my family and then forgot them in the packages home, so I took them to work to pass out. I thought only the women would like them, but the guys wanted one (or two!) also.

    I sent my sister a mug rug for her desk at work. She loved the size because she could set her Lean Cuisine on it at lunchtime.

    I like using my scraps and making small little totes with fairly long straps. These are used to hold your phone, id and a couple dollars when you don't want to carry a purse. They can be as small as 5 x 6 so you can get several from a fat quarter. If done with a snap foldover piece instead of a strap, they can be hooked over a belt. Make them in black, camo or denim and they work for a guy who doesn't want to put his phone in his pocket. I have found they are great for when I work in the yard or walk to the park - need that phone but nothing else!
