Crochet a blanket (I've given away many, but the way I crochet it would take a year or more to do one), cross stitch (I gave a beautifully framed "Home Sweet Home" picture I cross stitched to my best friend when she got married), have Walmart put their pet's picture or family picture on a mouse pad (I've done it many times), have a photo collage put on a coffee cup (yep, Walmart), propagate plants from one of yours and put in a pot with a nice bow (yep), DIY soaps, embroider a nice picture and frame it (yep), burn their last name on a nice piece of wood with a magnifying glass and the sun (yep). Next year I'm going to take all of Mom and Dad's pictures and scan them and put them on a thumb drive(s) for everyone. I've already mentioned the recipe book I made. I can't wait until I retire...I'll be a crafting fool!
