Do you have a go-to pattern for gift?
#22
I recently made gifts for a wedding shower I went to & they were very well received. I made placemats, napkins, a bread basket liner (from a tut on this board- I've made many of these & everyone loves them) & a wine vest (a little vest that goes around a wine bottle). I got a nice basket for the bread basket liner. I, too was worried that they might think it was chincey or cheap but she really seemed to like them. I put a little note on the basket liner saying what it was and one on the wine vest too.

If they celebrate Christmas a tree skirt would be nice. I made one for my friend's daughter when she got married about 12 years ago and every time I see her she tells me how much they love it and think of me every Christmas when they get it out and put it under the tree.
I also think a holiday table runner would be nice.

Well, most people use potholders and drink coasters and drink coffee or tea. How about a set of neutral potholders, four pretty coasters (have scraps?) and find a nice, reusable wicker basket (kitchen counter, bath storage) and a couple of mugs, with a sample bag of coffees and teas?
Or, potholders, a gender neutral apron and a little steamer, or set of nice fry or sauce pans.
