Always mean to.... but can't get caught up enough to.
I think I would make bookmarkers, guest towels, etc.
I did my last craft show last Nov. and have some baby bibs left (in case I need a quick baby gift.)

I try too but when charity work starts up I'm always behind.

I have tons on towels and pot holders for gifts and baby blankets..

Would like to have a few things, but I do have a some stove towel hangers.

I usually have things that have not sold at a shop...rarely sell anything. If I need something quick & don't have it, I run over to get something in the shop! Since I like to personalize things, I don't keep a stock of things on hand.

I usually have lots of baby items, bibs, quilts, burpcloths. There's always someone having a baby. I also have handtowels. I always have someone calling to see if I have anything on hand they can buy for a gift.

I always have a few greetings cards made up and a selection of small items but I prefer to make personal gifts when I can.

I'm working on that this year, so I have something available for gifts or last minute things. Not much so far, I get something done, and than I need something, lol!

Have always wanted a "Back Up" but never get caught up to the Present!!! Hahaha! Hugs, Judy

Sure I do. I have an inventory FSL items - which would be what I would be giving to most of the people that I give gifts (bookmarks, doilies, angels, ornaments & more - Hehehe! However, I also have flour sack tea-towels for the kitchen, finger tip velour towels for the kitchen and bath, tee-shirts and all occasion greeting cards.

I usually have some items left that did not sell at the craft market, and then I quickly run to my carboot to get something from there. It always stays in the packaged cases, because I have a back problem as well, and cannot lift the heavy stuff in and out all the time. Just add or take out, as needed. ****

Yes, I have a supply of ornaments, angels, bookmarkers, lots of coasters.some towels, and a few table runners, lots of greeting cards. I even have some Christmas tree skirts made up,

I like to have tea-towels done to match candle scents I have purchased from Bath & Body. Good for all seasons and sexes.

No stock, Only plenty of ideas. I also think it is difficult, 'cos if I sew a gift for someone I like to take into consideration their prefernces (color, fav animal, pratical thing-lover, modern-lover,...)

Don't have anything made up ahead of time, but I have a very large closet full of blanks so I usually can whip something out in a hurry.;)

I have teen daughters very active in sports most of my stash as they call it, are hand towels, stocking hats or fleece blankets with sport or school emblems on. Easy for them to grab a gift for friends of either sex.

ok this is what I have learned: Make kitchen towels & potholders to match as these can be for either man or woman, baby items are always a good idea to have on hand & Towels should be on hand but not done in advance because this way you can personalize them! with mono-grams or to match their colors!FSL items like angels & bookmarks are good to have on hand too!Well I like this & have learned alot thank you ladies for educating me again! I think that I will have to focus on creating a surplus for when the need arises!

ahead ? What is ahead ?

Yes oh yes I have a "gifts to go box" and have tretowels , oven mitts, tissue holders coathangers , hand towels , aprons , an just now am doing Christmas bunting , it has saved my skin a few times , could not be with out it. Cathy

Good question! I don't have anything made up ahead of time. I usually have to wait for some kind of inspriation. Wish I did have things made up. Hugs & Flowers Liz

I have a lot of zippered bags made up and I also keep a box where I throw all of my extra experiments and duplicates of things I have made. It adds up so I can say i have something for almost everyone. fsl,pincushions,scissor holders and just a mix of things.

I have a drawer with made up things that seem to be easy to give away!
