Something I found handy and inexpensive is a magnetic wand that you use to pick up pins and needles that fall on the floor. They come in lots of colors and are both cute and useful.............mine is blue. Tie a ribbon on the handle and how easy is that!

And even if they already have one, it is always nice to have an extra. I've got a couple. One is in my quilt room, another by the chair I sit in when I watch tv, and another is in a little pack I keep for taking to class, though I loaned that one out and I can't remember to whom. :roll:

It is handy to have things stashed all over to save you time and steps. I have my hidy holes all over the house.

If there is a ruler sale -

I gave the members of my group the 1x6 inch ruler.

Another year I gave them that hand cream that comes in the black and white packaging.

Last year I gave them a microfiber cleaning cloth.

Does it have to be something you've made?

Needle threaders? a pack of assorted needles?

Here is a cute Christmas tree made from folded fat quarters. After Christmas they can unfold the fq's and use them for something else.

What are criss cross coasters? I know what coasters are, just not the criss cross part. At a guess it sounds like plastic canvas, but I'd rather ask then guess.
