Thanks everyone!!!
Good ideas on the reversables, or the matching male/females. Most in the gift exchange are in couples, but not all, including moi! So I am definitely conscious of these issues, as what would I do with the "men" things, so relate to others.
I've thought of the lap quilt idea, though am concerned it may look a little "much" in comparison to what the others will have.
Generic gifts are always so hard especially when they also need
to be gender generic too.
I've got some ideas rolling around now .... though am not fully decided yet .... so keep 'em coming, if you will!
Besides, maybe it'll help some of you for ideas too!
