bucket tool tote organizers?
Car air fresheners (sashets that men would like)
Emergency car kits with flashlight, tire guage, pair of gloves and a little pocket for cash, in Texas a bottle of water would be smart, cheap cutter of some sort (utility knife, box cutter, pocket knife)Make it one of those roll up things they can keep under their seat. You could even but new car smell air freshener to scent the fabric. To really sell these you would need to fill them with all items except the cash. Even then, they wouldn't cost much.
Also, with kids going off to college, laundry bags.
Not for men, girly hairbows with all those wonderful scraps, or binky and sippy cup "leashes".
If it is a sewing show, pin cushions seem to be an easy "thinking of you" gift.
That is all I can think of at the moment.

Also made some baby bibs to see how they will sell - those are quick & easy.

I would love to have a bag of lovely smelling balsam pine needles!!! There are not any within a couple of thousand miles of here - the gulf coast of Texas!
I like them for pincusions, because they give out a whiff of the unique scent, when they are poked!
It is the smell of christmas trees, and along with many other places, the whole of northern Vermont and New Hampshire smell like that all the time!
Perhaps you could use cloves, or lavender or other spices in pincushions, or little bags of them in the bottoms of bags, or in other things like mug rugs and table runners?

I'm making rice bags this Christmas. They are very easy to make and they can contain produce like deer corn as well. The bag can be warmed in the microwave for a heat pack or put in the freezer for a cold pack. I give them at baby showers in colorful kid prints, usually 2 one heat and one for cold. They are great for children with fevers or chills. I also make adult sizes. They all have a removable cover so it can be washed. They are great sellers! Last craft show I sold out the first day! The big thing is to have a large colorful sign with them so it's easy for people to know what they are and how useful they are for gifts, or personal use. There are several free patterns on the internet and probably in "Search" here on the board.

I sell lots of microwave potato bakers. Especially made out of chili pepper print or potato print fabric. I got my pattern from Clotilde and it makes round bakers. I just printed the instructions that come with the pattern and attached them to the baker with a ribbon and small gold safety pin. Be sure to use Warm and Natural Tater Batting, it works the best.
