My itty-bittys are on a lanyard with a mini pin cushion and/or needle nanny. I've even added on a spool of thread at times. I do my handsewing sitting on the couch, so this works great to keep everything close at hand .... and from disappearing into the couch!
An idea for the small gifts, perhaps?
The fabric is virtually free for all you need.
The expensive part is the itty-bittys!

I figured out that if you made 40 of them, used a layer cake, 9 yds of zipper by the yard, with 40 zipper pulls, that would be about 40 + 13.50 + 10.00 = 63.50 / 40 = 1.59 each.

I made myself a mini sewing kit that I use for sewing hexies. I found a little tin at Hobby Lobby with sewing notions on it. Inside, I put a pair of my itty bitty scissors, a lighted needle threader that looks like a green ladybug, needles,hexie papers and a bobbin of thread. Just makes me smile! And it is useful, too.

The most used and (unfortunately) useful tool I have is the seam ripper. I have at least 5 of them somewhere in the house, but not a one of them is ever where I am when I need it.
It would be useful to have a batting shear, but that's probably a bit pricey.
