What stamping-related gifts are you planning to give this year?

[wagonwheelorchard]

I am gearing up for the fall craft shows! Since most purchases made at the shows I do are for gift-giving, it got me wondering...what types of stamped goodies are YOU planning to give (whether you make them yourself or get them from someone else!) this year?

Here's a wedding gift I just did for my best friend.

I'm also making a purse for my SIL and filling it with bath beads, lotions, etc. It will be a larger version of this one I did for my neice. It will be done with more patterns because her case doesn't have the stars.

I was thinking of doing some seasonal name frames too.

My relatives don't craft at all. I'm thinking of making them the decorated lunch box tins to hold cards.

I am going to make recipe books for my family. It will have various family recipes. I may get that cute Voila set to decorate the front.

I made cards and holder for many people two years ago.

Last year I made coasters (a set of 4) for many people. For my MIL (let's just call her that because it's easier) I made a Journal Jar and a Journal. It was designed for her to answer statements and questions about her childhood, teen years, meeting her husband (52nd ann. this year), getting pregnant, raising her two kids, and some highlights of the many trips she has been on. The Journal Jar was given to her and her only grand child (son) in hopes she'd fill out all the starters and give the Journal to him this Christmas. At the beginning, she got right into it and was adding in her own starters about things she wanted to share. I'm hoping to see it in december. I know the memories will be cherished.

This year I'm stamping clothed napkins with craft ink. I have choosen dark colours to stamp with the White Craft Ink. I'm also making a few accordian books of some special moments during the year with certain people. I am also giving a calendar to my partner of pictures I have taken from each month (and scrapbooked them together) this year to remember for next year.

Hope this helps.

I am doing Paint cans (the smaller ones at Mike's) filled with nice chocolate/candy/cookies, Clipboards, some sort of mini SB with my kiddos' pics, and prolly a few lunch tin card holders.

Great ideas! Keep em comin'!

I always have my cards, card sets, coasters, tile and domino magnets! I am thinking about adding beaded pens, mini composition books, and paint cans filled with some yummy goodies with that cute little Voila chef!

I was thinking of doing decorated checkbook covers with matching pens for the ladies in my family. It has become a stand by that I make a pack of cards for everyone as well. Last year I did personalized stationary for everyone. This year everyone is requesting a variety pack for different occasions so they have them on hand.

One of my good friends just demanded an altered clipboard. She just got a job, her first one since finishing her masters and since having a baby 4 years ago. So it will be a nice gift. After that she says I'm suppose to make her one of those bulletin board type thingies with the crisscrossing ribbon that hold cards/pictures in place. Ummm, I've never made one of those before! What the heck!!

I'm going to use the monogram alpha and a canvas to make a larger name frame. Also, I'm making ABC picture books for my nieces and nephews and my boys. It's a scrapbook except educational. I haven't figured out my small doctor's office/postman type gifts yet. I'm working on the big stuff first.

I plan on making the lunchbox tins for all the ladies in my family. I will include the dividers and a dozen cards. For the guys, I am making coasters. For my girlfriends, I plan on making monogram notecards in a nicely decorated cardbox. I always send a handmade gift along with a storebought gift.

I plan to give a tin card organizer with all occasion cards and envelopes to some of my family members. It wil be a great gift for older people.
