Like everyone else, I struggle with those demons. I hope you keep making and giving -- and I will, Quiltdivajuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15593385265961892847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7567148070676790205.post-30759537151632020542014-08-16T22:08:27.068-05:002014-08-16T22:08:27.068-05:00I know exactly how you feel so I always make a wal...I know exactly how you feel so I always make a wallet for my nieces and grandaughter in which I will include a gift card to their favorite store but I have heard from both of their parents and they love the things I make them more than the store bought items. Some things that appeal to young girls even college ones are cover composition notebooks. I embroider their initial on it and I pick the most modern fabric I have and they love it. I have also made them quilts of which they love love love.<br />For people I work with I have made simple earrings that match our school colors so they wear them on spirit days. For secretaries I have made tea wallets, holiday decorated kitchen towels usually four, one for each season, sometimes holiday placemats and table toppers with a candle or candy dish always are a hit. For my pregnant coworkers I give scrappy baby quilts and for some reason every time someone at my job is pregnant, there always seems to be a shower invite in my mail box. Lol. So google ideas, go to Pinterest or just search my blog. Keep doing what you do and feel proud that your gift is unique and you took the time to make it. As for your daughter google things that are appropriate for her age but if she is a teenager there is way too much peer pressure to follow the current trends. When my daughter was a teen I only made her quilts. Now as a future mother I have made things for her wedding, bridal shower, bridal party, baby shower and things for her home and. Y sons home so they will grow out of this phase. I still see that some of my daughters bridesmaids still use the initial tote bags I make them. I hope I have helped you with ideas.Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16992246515171206371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7567148070676790205.post-20077097415017459812014-08-16T20:10:33.872-05:002014-08-16T20:10:33.872-05:00Last year I made mug rugs for husband, daughters a...Last year I made mug rugs for husband, daughters and their boyfriends.
