For the girls, how about those cute fabric baskets with some nail polish and emery boards in them. For the boys, why not jean material aprons for them. They can cook too. There are always pillows and fleece blanket that come in handy. JoAnn's always has a great assortment of printed fleece and you can often get it on sale.

Someone here on QB posted a pattern for a small neck pillow, and then you could make mug rugs to give with a filled mug or little bags of various sorts or the above mentioned fabric boxes filled with things -- or a fleece throw as boys like soft and cuddly too!!

I made a rag quilt for my great niece and all the teenage boys in the family promptly asked for one for them. I did two layers flannel and backed with Minky they loved them Even my 20 something nephews are asking for them now.

I recommend you check out Craftsy. They have hundreds of free patterns and more patterns the you would pay for, most of which are downloadable (instant gratification <lol>). There are cute tote and purse patterns, wallets, notebook covers, zipper pouches, "ditty" bags, etc. If they travel, you can make them a set that includes a ditty bag, luggage tags, eye covering, tissue holder, etc.

If they have automobiles, you could make them a steering wheel cover and matching trash bag.

You can make them a microwaveable bowl holder, or a placemat, mug rug, napkin set.

And Craftsy has wearables patterns, too, like skirts, tops, etc.
I made this lunch bag for myself, but found it a little small, so am going to alter the pattern slightly. Then, my 7 year old granddaughter has claimed it for herself.
