I enjoy making kitchen towels for my friends and family. There are so many designs to pick from. Find out what colors and motifs are in their kitchen and got to a discount store to buy towels for less than $5 ( sometimes 2 for $5.00)
Have fun.

I also go for kitchen towels, or I make a facecloth with the first letter of their name on, this looks nice with a bar of soap.

how about casserole carriers? There is a free pattern on Emblibrary that works up great and is fairly easy! Good luck!

I buy aprons at Wal Mart put the person name and kitchen on it. Like Kathy's Kitchen. Everyone loves them.

I like FSL ornaments, especially those with the year on them. There is one in the Designs by Cuties for free!! Blessings!

How about the coffee sleeves that go around the styrofoam cups. These would be cute wrapped around a cup containing hot chocolate mix or a tea bag. Not too expensive .

My suggestion would be FSL ornaments.

embroidered mouse pad, pocket tissue holders, towel toppers, embroidered toilet paper (bet they dont have that)and a soap to go along,key fobs and last but not least one of Yorikos great doileys.

Kitchen magnets for the refrigerator. Embroidery library has cute ones for I think $1.00 each.

I have made MANY travel trays that are so easy. I have detailed directions in the project section, BUT I don't know how to direct you to the posting!! I can access it from my profile, but don't know what page to tell you to go to! Does anyone know how to do this? They are easy, different & wonderful to take on vacation, business, or any type of travel. Hope someone can tell us how to get to a project.

Thanks everyone I made me a list of all the different things so I don't forget.Will try to post some when I get them made.

FSL ornients. I did a bunch of those last year and were loved by everyone.

I like these gift bag toppers- of course with christmas motives and the names of the recipients.
you could fill the bags with selfmade cookies or chocolates.

Something I haven't seen mentioned, sleeve protectors for when you are wearing long sleeves.

They help protect your sleeves and cuffs and you could embroider funny texts on them such as: "This is my right hand - This is my left hand"; "Please clean the whiteout off your pc screen daily"; "Sshh! The boss might hear you whistling/humming/singing and reduce your pay!"; "Time's a draggin, so is my boss!"; or anything else you may think up with appropriate designs.

I'm not sure where you are from, but if there is a WalMart nearby...they have three packs of medium sized Tote bags for about $3. You could personalize a tote bag for each of them.

check at any dollar store for hand towels. They ususally come in pairs or up to 2 pair. Monogram the First letter of their last name. I did this for a family Christmas party, and everyone went wild. Only thing, they will not use them. They say they are too pretty to mess up! But, they do put them out when company is coming!!
