Curling iron/straightner covers, use the insulated wadding intended for pot holders. These are great for putting hair straightners in when youve finished using them and if traveling you can put them straight in your luggage, without worrying about scorching anything. Products shoukd always be unplugged before putting in cover.

Who will be receiving these gifts? Adults? Grands? Kids? A few I can think of, quilted or sewn, are sachets, clutch purses, cosmetic bags, eyeglass sleeves, pillow cases, mini tote bags, slippers, lap quilts (patchwork front or purchased panel with fleece backing - tada! no quilting!)
I, too, will be watching this thread as all this is in my head right now - Christmas, yikes! Almost here!

How about this idea? They are from a pattern called A Little Duffle Do It.
http://www.amazon.com/Little-Duffle-.../dp/B003H2387K
I made these sets using coordinating fat quarters. The pattern has directions for four sizes. I can make the medium, small, and tiny sizes from two fat quarters. I reversed which fabric was on the outside for the small size, so they made a cute coordinated set. They are fun to make, and can be done easily in a morning. Be careful though....they're addictive!

If someone has pets you could make the collapsible water bowls --

I made some of these -- but I enlarged it and used fabric (improvised as I really only wanted the folding directions) to use for some hostess gifts as bread baskets and all. Easy to store them.
