Toteable Towels: Any swimmers or beach lovers on your list? These are a fantastic idea for both young and old alike. Whip up some nice towels that can be quickly rolled up and toted about. Posted at Anna Maria Horner.

Unique Knitting Basket: This is a great gift for your favorite knitter or crocheter and it won’t cost you much to make–just use an old sweater. This makes a basket to hold the yarn, project and hooks & needles. Very simple and easy to make and it’s an idea from Martha Stewart. Posted on Tipnut.com.

Vintage Pincushion Sachet: Crochet Pattern: This is a pattern from 1944 for a pincushion that could also be used as a sachet, just replace the muslin body with fresh herbs or potpourri as needed. Pattern found at Tipnut.com.

Water Bottle Carrier: This is quite a sweet project for making a water bottle carrier. If someone on your list is a big sports/fitness/activity person, I’m sure they’ll love having one of these (along with anyone else who’s a big fan of bottled water). There’s a strap to hang over the shoulder and the bottle rests at the hip. Posted at Pink Chalk Studio.
