I first made these 10 years ago for my older daughter & her college roommate. This is probably one of my most popular ideas. Filled with treats, black nail polish, body glitter, silly socks, novelty earrings, party lights. The boys also like cough drops, dried fruit, nuts, cocoa packs, cereal bars.I have made maybe 30 for all the college kids in our lives. Then one for Baby's lst Halloween with bib, etc. One for a boy in the hospital, cards, comics, etc. Of course my new ones will be pieced & quilted. Keep this in mind for that special friend!
P.S.
Michaels has wonderful buttons & felt embellishments. I'm sure other crafts depts do too.

First ones were made in felt

For the young cook: potholders, kitchen towels, cupcake liners
