I just finished making Christmas tree napkins for a Guild do. Large half circles, face to face. Sew around and then turn inside out and topstitch. Then fold into tree patterns. Check youtube for the directions.

Lavender Sachets, I don't know if you live somewhere that gets cold weather, but scarves (even decorative) ones are nice.

Lavender sachets were a huge hit for my work friends last year. I actually made them for my family and then forgot them in the packages home, so I took them to work to pass out. I thought only the women would like them, but the guys wanted one (or two!) also.

I like using my scraps and making small little totes with fairly long straps. These are used to hold your phone, id and a couple dollars when you don't want to carry a purse. They can be as small as 5 x 6 so you can get several from a fat quarter. If done with a snap foldover piece instead of a strap, they can be hooked over a belt. Make them in black, camo or denim and they work for a guy who doesn't want to put his phone in his pocket. I have found they are great for when I work in the yard or walk to the park - need that phone but nothing else!
