Crafty Links

So I host a little group of people to my home to talk about food storage/family preparedness and being frugal. This month's theme is 101 gifts for under $10. I'm hoping to find more than 101, but it's taking all my free time coming up with ideas (beyond the generic ... make them a quilt! idea). Here's the first 60 links that I've found so far:

• For the forgetful: fabric key chain tutorial
• A spa treatment: Bath Bomb Cupcakes, Candy Cane Scrub, Ginger Cinnamon Body Scrub, Basic Bath Bombs,
• For the emergency prepared in your family: Emergency Pocket Kit, Tissue holder, this website has lots of great things for cheap (and check out wal-mart too!)
• For your neighbors: this article has lots of great ideas!
• For the scrapbooker/family historian: Life Story Pages by Becky Higgins,
• For Artists: Sidewalk Coloring Paint, Notebook Covers, Notebook & Pencil Holder, Crayon Rolls, Recycled Crayons & Lisa's fantastic idea for the reshaped crayons (scroll down a bit).
• For the fashionable: Covered Wooden Bead Necklace, Over sized Owl Bag,
• For the musicians: Music Bag, Piano Look-a-like Bag
• For your baby: Soft Baby Cubes, Owl Crinkle Toy, Paci Clip Tutorial,
• For bathtime: Bathtub Paints, Hooded Towel,
• The Traveling Family: Road Trip Pillow Case,
• For the Family: Growth Chart,
• For the Environmentally Minded Family Member: Grocery Bag Dispenser, Reusable Shopping Bags,
• Flowers, Flowers Everywhere!!!: here, here, here and here.
• For the Chef: Posie's kitchen dishtowels, oven mitts, chef's hat, or ANYTHING Bakerella puts out (this is one i'm dying to make!). :)
• Aprons Galore! Dishtowel Apron, girl's garden party apron, cottage apron, copy cat apron, piece of cake apron,
• To help you survive church: Quiet Book, Church Bags,
• Paper Dolls: Career Themed, Five fun themed sets,
• For your little girl: Hair bows, and more hair bows, Little House Pouch, Fabric Headbands,
• For Dress-Up Time: Felt Crowns, Medieval Gear, No Sew Tutu
• Softie Toys: Scottie Dog, Suey, the super pig!, Lamb,
• For your kids: Splat Mat, Sock Puppets, Make a Puppet Theater!,

Then I was thinking of other ideas like:

• Rather than an easy bake oven (which the ingredients can be SUPER expensive!): Make some pre-made cookie in a jar mixes, add an apron & a chef hat!
• My kids favorite thing to do is search for books at the local thrift store. Grab a handful of books *used* and it's usually 25-50 cents a book, instead of $8-$15!
• Make a family recipe book and gather the recipes from all the extended family. Each year (for the next several years), send them one section of the cookbook.
• Trade services (like baby-sitting, etc.) with someone who IS crafty & has the time, to do it some things for you.
• October is clearance time for the toys stores ... get $15 gifts for 75% off (that's only $3.75 each!).
• Pre-made cookie mixes are always a hit!
• For a great selection of ideas, check out this blog posting!

So ... do you have any more ideas???
