NON FOOD Ideas for handmade christmas gifts?

[ss_storm]

I found a blog called Make It and Love It that has some really great sewing ideas.
I also found another one (can PM you the link to it if you like) with a tutorial for fabric flowers on it. I've already made 8 of them and they look awesome. The tutorial just makes the flowers themselves, and I added some stems with wire in them so they can stand up. So i'm going to make a bunch with 4 each for MIL, SIL, my mum and my nanny for Christmas and bought some handmade soap to go with them.

Make-It-Do it is also another great blog, as well as Dana Made it.

I am loving all these homely crafting sewing blogs. I desperately NEED a sewing machine.

another for little kids too- fabric fridge magnets. I'm going to make some for DD and if they turn out ok will be making some for some other little kids I know.
There's a tutorial on the BluDor blog that I'm going to roughly follow, just waiting on the magnets I ordered to arrive. She loves playing with the magnets already on the fridge, but these ones will be a bit easier for her to pull on and off the fridge. i'll make them in different shapes, like a butterfly, flower etc. I just can't seem to find any suitable fridge magnets in stores so I thought I'd try making my own!
