Homemade presents for adults/teens?

[SolidGold]

Any ideas?

Money is incredibly tight, as dh is unemployed.

I can sew, crochet a little, don't have a sewing machine and can't really sew. I can cook reasonably.

We don't really do much for adults anyway, but I just want to give my parents, mil, sister in law and nephews/niece (teens) something small. Mil has no hobbies at all and doesn't eat chocs or anything really except the bare minimum! I thought of making a calendar, but don't really have much in the way of photos and also did one last year anyway.

Added problem: gifts for inlaws will be sent through the post as they live quite a distance away, so not sure when we'll next see them.

I'd be really grateful for any ideas. I've searched through previous threads, but can't find anything.

Thanks.

I'm making a big batch of this foot soak and packing it in large coffee jars ive scrounged from work (I have no idea how to link on the app, sorry!) tidymom.net/2013/diy-lime-mint-foot-soak/

I've also bought a few cheap books from bookworld and am packing both of these thing together with some homemade kahlua for a relaxation kit. Cheap as chips

The foot soak sounds lovely!

Drawings by the children? I would love to receive these!

I like the idea of making this: scarf as it seems pretty simple - thought you could also sew a button on the front - make it look a bit different.

Any more knitting patterns out there?!

Not all cheap but there are a few ideas on this Pinterest page including birdcage ornament from bottle cap and russian doll from a ring pull. Also the joe's toes slippers - not cheap but a very impressive yet easy gift to make. pinterest page
