Thanks for the link to studiokat...I found a lot of free projects I liked and I especially like her free patterns!
I like the krackers idea, would really work for my extended family with just a little something for everyone in them. Perfect for just fun!

I also have gone the ornament route in the past...mini stockings (several different crocheted ones as well as various ones from fabric), several styles and sizes of angels, snowmen, snowflakes, clothespin reindeer, bead and chenille stick wreaths and candy canes, claydough gingerbread men and other shapes, crocheted doily type covered satin balls, ribbon trimmed satin balls, folded ribbon or fabric covered styrofoam balls & eggs (pinecone), various plastic canvas and counted cross stitch ones, and my MIL made some really cute ones with plastic miniatures (teddy bear, deer, etc.) and clear plastic pill bottles.

Praline Pecan Crunch
16 oz box of Quaker Oat Squares (8 cups)
2 cups pecan pieces
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Heat oven to 250 degrees. Combine cereal and pecans in a 13 x 9 inch pan. Combine corn syrup, butter and brown sugar in 2 cup microwavable bowl. Microwave on high for 1 1/2 minutes. Stir well and Microwave for 1/2 to 1 1/2 minutes more or until boiling. I usually let mine bowl for 15 to 20 seconds longer. Stir in vanilla and baking soda, mix very well. Mixture will become caramel colored and very creamy. Pour over cereal and pecans, mix well. Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 20 minutes. Spread on baking sheet and allow to cool completely. Break into pieces. Makes 10 cups.
Enjoy!!

One year I made mini first aid kits. You use a purchased pot holder for the outside and inside put baggies that hold the first aid items.
They're good for general bumps, bruises and small calamities.

Sorry, it has to be my being unwell. I made my niece 2 cushions -- 1 for her birthday and 1 for Christmas since they were a day apart. she wants another cover with dolphins on it both sides so she can wash on and still have the two covered. Terribly sorry for not saying that before. :-(
