Thoughtful and Homemade gifts

Hi all, I'm just wanting to start a new thread for anyone that would like some ideas for some thoughtful and/or homemade Christmas gifts. Maybe even some that you could create with kids help. Any ideas?

Last year for their cousins my children made pillows using polar fleece. I cut out two huge round pieces and then cut strips all the way around about an inch thick. The kids then tied the strips together and stuffed them. They were a hit at the gift exchange.

Do you mind me asking what you'll be doing? I love to hear other people's ideas.

We children have lots of Grandparents and Great-Grandparents. My husband and I both have divorced parents. So that makes many, many Grandparents. This year I am buying colored aprons at Walmart. I think they are around $5.00 a piece. I am going to have my children put their handprints on them with fabric paint and write some cute saying about Grandparents. I haven't found a saying yet. I'm sure I will find something on the internet.

I meant to say "My children, not, We children" It sounded kind of goofy after I read it. I could not edit it. Sorry!!!
