If you don't mind giving her something that only she will see there are directions on Nancy ziemans site to make permanent dryer balls. Use in dryer instead of fabric softener. I'm going to make them once I get the wool roving.

she hasn't requested anything. when she got married last August, I made her placemats, napkins, towels, crocheted wahrags, and pot holders for all the holidays. I've made her tablerunners, toppers, and even fabric covered flipflops. quilts for Christmas and a throw. I've made her ornaments, and this year, music ornaments. I'm clear out of ideas. She's financially well to do at 27, this is her second house. She loves hand made items. Maybe I won't be invited and luck out. I still feel I need to send something to her. Don't know what kind of house they are getting yet. She mentioned something about a colonial. I don't know what to do.
Maybe a a gift certificate to a big box store or garden center

I purchased the periwinkle template after watching the periwinkle mug rug on Missouri Star Quilt to make star shaped mug rugs for small gifts. They make up in about 30-45 minutes and are really cute. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiFOsVye6IE

How about an apron or some little zipper bags? I made a bunch of little bags in bright colors and they are coming in really handy to store charging cords, makeup, loose stuff in the desk, medicines, etc.

I've made her a tree skirt about 3 yrs ago. She lives in VA and is moving to PA I live on Long Island NY, so some shipping problems need to be addresses. I can't mail too heavy of an item. I love the wreaths, but it's cumbersome to ship.I've made coasters, towels washcloths, dishrags, place mats, ect. I just made hr a boxy pouch for her birthday with a lace necklace I made and some makeup brushes. i''ve done Christmas stocking and ornaments every year. I don't know if she drinks.The microwave bowls sounds like something she could us. I'll try some them.
keep the ideas coming. and thank you.
