I sometimes make little train locomotives, cars, planes and rockets with wrapped candy. I found the idea online many years ago. I usually make a bunch of cookies, but that gets expensive! For work, I'm sticking to the butterscotch Chex Mix (everyone raved when I made it last year), and the candy locos (for my closer work friends and those in my department). I'm thinking the FF box would be perfect for the chex mix!

Or maybe alter my Cold Survival Kit (see my gallery) and add a small pad of paper, pencil, candy cane, etc.
Here's the poem I wrote to go with my December Survival Kit. Feel free to use it:
December can be so busy
Rushing from here to there,
There’s not time to get things done
Let alone have it to spare.
So here’s a little something
To help you out a bit.
I hope that you enjoy
Your December survival kit.
Perfect! So glad this was posted.

All my friends and relatives now have one of everything that I make. Over the years they have received loom knitted hats, beaded bags, fleece beanies and scarfs, art dolls, and crochet plarn totes.
I think I'm down to Kindle gift cards, I-pad sleeves, and mini-albums. Oh wait, that's not so bad. Thanks for getting me thinking.

Im decorating cleass glass ornametns and give away.
Mum last year gave a way christmas-goats.
That might be only a swedish tradition, but its essentialy a goat shaped thing usuallt out of hay-straws but mum made them out of pine branches and decorated them with red ribbons. They were in the size of goats and used as decorations outside of pepoles houses.
Google image search for julbock and you will get an idea of how they look.
There are also tonnes of nice tuts on christmas whreaths wich is a good gift, appriciated by many.

I finally found a crafty gift idea on Pinterest. The problem I have is a gift exchange with a group of friends (13 people, including me) so it can become rather expensive and not everybody likes everything. I know a few won't like the necklaces (she won't wear anything around her neck and even tears collars off her shirt a la "Flashdance") but oh well. I'm making rolled t-shirt scarves/necklaces, braided chain necklaces and flower pins to coordinate with both. I don't have pics of these, but you can google and find a few different tutorials on the scarves. The flower pins are turning out really cute, and I may keep making them well after the holidays!

Those nine little tags might be thinking they're for your other future projects so they might not show up now, their replacements might be just in front of you. Replace them with red triangular cut outs of anything then put cotton to make the triangles like Christmas hats.

This is a stickied thread, it really doesn't need to be bumped. Needs the gold-farming spam reported and mopped, but doesn't need bumped.
