Travelmad they are gorgeous!! You might get some ideas from this website, 12 Crafts, where the blogger was working on various toys as Christmas gifts and made a lot of tutorials to help along the way. Although she doesn't seem to have posted much since that Christmas!! 
(I was following her and a few others that year, as I had great hopes of wonderful crafting - then life just got progressively more hectic and I have tubs of fabric and ribbons and half-done projects just lying abandoned.....).
I want to get started on my organizing again, and plan for some crafting in the quieter time over summer, but life is just too hectic. Savings are going into everyday just now, but I have plans for building them up again soon. And we are not travelling home this year (so that's already a saving of €800 on a house and easily another €300+ on food/drink for others - although we will now have to cook our own turkey so maybe the food/drink money will be similar as we will entertain at home a little).
I booked our summer holiday yesterday - 13 nights in France, flying, but with checked cases for all 3 of us. So there will be some spare capacity for bringing things home (DD, 11, already lit up at the thoughts of "France, cheese, bringing some home..." so I hope there will be some space left once her wants are sorted!).
Our supermarket changed its loyalty scheme recently, and I can't figure it out. There are plenty of "spend €100, get €9 off" types of vouchers for a few weeks together coming out, and money off specific products (rarely ones I use!), but I don't think there are any more "free money" ones (get 1 point per €1 spend, and get vouchers back for those points quarterly if you go over 250, each 250 points equaling €2.50 cash back). I must start to use Boots more for regular toiletries as that seems a better return at this stage.
