What gifts are you making for holiday (Christmas) presents?

I'm unsure what to make for gifts for Christmas this year. Jewelry is my latest obsession, however the people I need gifts for either don't wear jewelry or only wear real gold jewelry.
I was wondering what you were doing this year or have done in the past. The ladies are adults, one in late 30's the other early 60's.

I make soap for pretty much everyone if I can. As long as I make a nice mix of essential oils, they tend to appreciate it.

This year, I'll probably be making clothes for my closest girl friend, and some novelty jewelry for my other friends.

Also, my fiance's mom is in her mid 60s and she loved it when I made a custom glycerin soap batch for her. It was scented like Japanese lotus blossom. This year, I'll probably make her some super-nourishing cold process soap with lavender and jasmine essential oils in it.

My friend who's in her mid 20s loves the sugar scrub I make and she goes through it quickly.

For everyone else, I'm making some sort of festive alcoholic drink or just random little things.

Great ideas! I like the spa set idea and I've just started to embroidery and was thinking of trying some towels. Bath and body products are always appreciated and useful for all ages. Especially when they're homemade. They smell so much yummier. Thanks, ladies!!

hm... well i don't know actually what I will make for my family this year. I may make little chocolates, greeting cards, and tea sets. Since me and girls enjoy hot drinks during the fall/winter time.

I might be making my sister an apron out of vintage new kids on the block sheets. I'm making my niece who will be born on Dec. 26 a bunch of headbands for her newborn, 3 months, 6 months,9 months and 12 year photos and I'm making all the new grandparents gift baskets with mugs, plates and Christmas bulbs stamped with my baby's feet along with a picture of him framed.
