NON FOOD Ideas for handmade christmas gifts?

[FabFiona]

oooo I would love a wheat bag!! Feel free to make me one!!!

Homemade tomato relish or fruit chutney is always a favourite. I also saw some mini yo-yos in the shop the other day. They looked really good.

Last year I made up a basket for everyone with some of my favourite recipes.
I printed them out on pretty paper and laminated it then put all the ingredients needed for it in the basket along with an apron.
Could be your hand made one???
I also added little things that could go with the recipe eg; cookie cutters for the biscuits, Silicone muffin tray for the muffins etc

These were a huge hit and my family really loved them

One of my friends made me vanilla ice and chocolate brownies, and wrapped them in cellophane. You know, they're the only gifts I remember recieving for Christmas last year - we took both with us on a roadtrip over Christmas and they were the perfect gift. And it was really special to receive something homemade. I'm thinking of doing something similar myself this year.

I have 3 children, so last year I took separate photos of them posing as the "3 wise monkeys" (see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil). I dressed them in white singlets each with a different pose and framed it. Cost next to nothing but looked really good and a bit different.

Can we keep the food related ideas to the Christmas Food thread too. I will be merging all the "food ideas".

Wheat Bags are great.
Bath Luxuries (Bombs, bath oils, bath milk powder)
Soap
Aprons
Wooden toys for little kids
Wooden Blocks for Babies (using decoupage for the sides, could use modern or vintage letters and numbers print outs)
Wooden Cheese Boards
