Padded Hangers
A gift you can make for a special lady... This is for hanging sweaters or dresses needing a padded hanger.  Purchase a package of satin padded hangers (usually 3) and 3 five inch in diameter lace or crocheted doilies, also silk ribbon roses in your colour preference, and ribbon to compliment the roses and the colour of the padded hanger.  You slip hanger "hook" through the doily center and anchor it with a few slipstiches or hot glue stick. Then make some bows with the ribbon and set the ribbon roses on top of the ribbon bows anchoring them with stitches or hot glue.  Leave 12 inches or so of ribbon ends hanging down.

For a new bride, you can do this all in white, using strands of pearls to make some loops and then satin bows over the tips of them to anchor them down.  Mothers seem to also like this gift.

Button Pin
Another very fun gift to make and to give is a heart shaped button pin.  You will need a sturdy piece of cardboard, an assortment of buttons, and pin back (purchase at the craft store) and hot glue.  To begin, you cut the cardboard into the shape of a heart (this will be at the most 3" across) then you will begin arranging the buttons in a pleasing cluster... rearranging until you have a grouping you like. Then glue the buttons in place... overlapping them as you go.  You may end up using a dozen or so buttons or far less if the buttons are larger.  Then glue the pin backing on and allow to dry.  Make up a little card for your gift bag.... you can say:  "You're cute as a button!"

Heart Pin
You can make heart pins from fabric, cut into the shape of a heart & sewn together (sew right sides together, leaving a small space for turning the heart right side out and for stuffing, then stitch the small opening closed.  You would then finish with a pretty button sewn at the center and a pin backing stitched or glued to the back.  You can make the small heart of patchwork, too.

Here's a new gift idea from WendyMcD  
Bubble Bath Jelly Jars
Supplies:
      1 packet Unflavored Gelatin
      3/4 cup Water
      1/2 cup Clear Liquid Soap or Bubble Bath
      Fragrance Oils - as desired
      Food Coloring - optional
      Small objects (silk flowers, toys, small figures, etc.)
      1/8 sheet Cardstock weight Paper
      Ribbon, Yarn or Raffia (for bow to tie label on jar)
      Clear container with lid, such as a small glass canning jar
Instructions:
Empty the packet of gelatin into a large mixing bowl. Set aside. Heat water in a saucepan, until just boiling. Immediately remove water from heat source. Carefully pour the hot water into the large mixing bowl and gently mix with gelatin powder. Allow gelatin to completely dissolve. Be patient!  This may take a few minutes. Slowly and gently stir in the liquid soap to the gelatin mixture. Add a drop of food coloring and 5-8 drops of fragrance oil. Be careful not to beat mixture or bath jelly will become foamy.  Pour mixture into a clean, clear container. Place your chosen small object inside container, nesting it inside jelly. Refrigerate Bubble Jelly until set (about 4 hours). As the jelly sets, come up with a name for your creation. Then using your cardstock paper and ribbon, make a label for the jar. Attach label to bath jelly jar by punching a hole in one corner of the label.  Thread ribbon, cut long enough to tie around the jar, through hole on label. Tie around the jar!  (You can also decorate your jar with additional small items or dried flowers, as desired.)

To use: Scoop a small amount of jelly (1 - 2 Tbsp.) into your hand and hold under warm running water for a bubbly bath treat! Note: This craft can be made for both children as well as adults! The container and object placed in the jelly can be adjusted to the likes and interests of the person you are making it for. Let your imagination run wild, and you can come up with some very imaginative bath jelly jars!
