Crochet a simple scarf and make it special by adding a scrunchie to hold the scarf around the neck or for the recipient’s ponytail. I love this scarf:

coupled with this scrunchie – the easiest thing to make. The yarn will MAKE it!

Last, there’s no one who can’t use a treasure bag. I have them made up in a variety of yarns – from traditional camouflage for a little boy, to pink baby yarn for a delicate little princess, to a hearty brown wool for a ‘real’ man, and a ‘standard issue’ navy that would suit most anyone. There are many patterns online – or you can just crochet a rectangle, seam it up, and feed a tie through it. Easy. Throw in a tiny ‘hot wheel car’, a pair of dice, a raffle or lottery ticket, or a piece of jewelry – or even a couple dollar bills. One size fits ALL.
