Sew Mama Sew blog are going to do a big post on this in November including stuff for the blokes – always the hardest. It will include heaps of tutorials and great ideas.
Ive been agonising for weeks about doing this! It will mean no games for my little pink thing!(i guess a new tattoo is ok though?!) If you’re in , im in!
If you are looking for tutorials/tips on making items, I started a little side blog back in June to house all the excellent tutorials/tips I found on the internet.
It hasn’t been updated in a while but some of you may find some great gift ideas there:

Ooh, that’s an early post. I actually went one better some years ago and made all the Chrissie presents … I had to start early, but it was such a good thing to do. Chutneys and shortbreads for friends and workmates, framed prints and cross stitch designs, aprons, christmas decorations … we made all sorts of things. People loved getting the chrissie decorations we made.
That is so weird…I just came from that site to yours – I went straigt back & signed up!
