Oven door towels. The ones that hang over the oven handle. There are different kinds you can make. I made several that looks like a dress. The bodice part is what is fabric & lace & the skirt part is a hand towel. Every one loved them. Also the microwave bowel cozy. I sold many of these.

Use the USPS priority shipping boxes. I have to ship things to my grand kids. I always stuff those boxes for a flat rate. If you do it online you get a little break too. How about a journal cover or a fabric book cover with bookmark. I made cosmetic bags recently and the girls loved them! They were super easy and shipped cheap too.

I think that's a great idea.
Or you can make something similar, a makeup brush roll-up case like this:

It doesn't seem difficult, it's useful... and it's small, so the shipping cost won't be expensive.

thanks everyone, so many good ideas. I did a bunch of kitchen towels, but you can always use more. I like that idea of the oven door one. also the boxy bag, and the shoe bag.
This is a great thread, because you all have come up with such great ideas. In the past 4 yrs, I feel like I've made her everything. She does travel a lot, so the shoe bag is a good idea, and I also like the boxy bag for shoes too.
If you were getting the gift. would you like the shoe bag of shoe fabric or other fabric, and if so, what kind. Should I applique a shoe on it?? Thanks everyone for wonderful ideas.

Fabric Basket Color
When in doubt, ask God Almighty to help you. He designs my quilts and I sew them. He tells me what colors to use. He can do that for you also if you put your trust in Him; He'll lead you in the right direction. (Proverbs 3:5-6) Enjoy! The King's kid since 1982.
