Gift Ideas
Tea Bag Wallet with a box of tea. This tea bag wallet has actually been quite popular on this site. It's easily one of the most visited tutorials. The wallet is filled with a few tea bags, and gifted with a box of the recipients favorite tea. I also added a note about what the wallet is for. Also, it doesn't require too much fabric so the cost of materials will not be high.Marshmallow Gun and a bag of marshmallows. For the kids or kid at heart recipients, the marshmallow gun is a fun gift to give out. Just be warned, you may be targeted. Best make yourself a gun as well. I saw these selling at a fair for $10. Making your own saves you quite a bit.
Ribbon Bookmarks and a journal or book. This would be a good gift for a reader or writer in your list.
Tote bag and a gift card to the grocery store. For the environment friendly folks, a reusable tote bag to use for groceries would go a long way. Pick a fabric that they're sure to like and they'll love how personal the gift is. Here's a list of many other tote bag patterns.
A couple of reusable sandwich wraps and a gift card to the grocery store works well for your sandwich loving friends. Also, depending on the size of your gift, you may be able to use it to wrap your gift.
Easy Wine Glass Charms and a set of wine glasses, or maybe a bottle of wine. This is great for the entertainer or wine connoisseur in your list.
Cookie and Soup Mixes in a Jar These are great gifts for those that like to dabble in the kitchen. There are tons of different recipes to try out that aren't just cookies or soups. However, I would warn that you may want to try them out before you give them to your friends.
Homemade Fudge -- Tho some might not agree to giving me or some of my friends fudge, it's a wonderful gift to give. What's not too like... sweets, and chocolate. mmmmm. Nuf Said.

For Our Cat Friends
DIY Scratcher Time to go dumpster diving for your cat friends. A pile of cardboard can turn into this cool scratcher for the kitty of your list. Better they scratch cardboard than your furniture, or you.
Mice toys - I gave a couple of these to my sister's cat last year. So fun to watch her play with them. Haha... Ah, the memories. My sister had said before that her cat didn't really react to catnip, so I added a bit extra, probably don't need to do that next time. Cats with catnip are funny. :)
