...of the non-lame variety. That's what workitmom.com bloggers milkandcookie promise in their hilarious post today. What they don't give is a bunch of instructions (click the links for that), but truthfully, once you look at the pictures you can figure it out. All you need is, well, the stuff below, and some crafty kids with a little time on their hands.
Have fun!!!

Homemade bath salts. Sea salts, bath oil, cute jar, KERBLAM, gift.

Chocolate dipped spoons.
Super-easy, super-fun-for-kids-to-taste-test method for making
chocolate dipped spoons. Put them in a fancy mug with some gourmet
ground coffee, maybe.

I made aprons for the women in my husbands family and my daughter's teachers.
i made a carebears sheet with matching blanket for a cafemom in need, i made homemade snowglobes out of marshmallow fluff jars, i made felt reindeer out of LO's hands and feet (the antlers will grow with the years!), i made puffy photo ornaments, i made some necklaces, earrings and bracelets for my nieces as well as picture frames with horse themed stickers all over them, i had my LO finger paint on some ceramic dinosaurs, and of course i made tons and tons of good stuff to eat as gifts, choc covered pretzel sticks, puppy chow, madaleines, rasp choc cookies, rosettes, beef jerky, baklava, the list goes on and on, but yeah, i have def. made stuff this year for gifting, and found a few new cool ideas for future use here on cafemom
I made frames with my sons footprint, name and the year for all of the grandparents. My sis made barbie clothes out of left over fabric and clothes her kids ripped to shreds.
I made scarves for the group of girls my teenager hangs out with. They all sing in choir together so she gave them their gifts early this year so that they could wear them to all their caroling gigs.
I also made toddler scarves for my friends with toddler girls. I made toddler crayons and coloring pages. For adults, I made dishcloths and pot scrubbies. And, I'm making a Christmas tutu for my toddler instead of buying a Christmas outfit.
