I got most of my shopping done, but still want to do more for the adults in our family. Found out yesterday that my 3 year old dd has pneumonia (after just a couple days of cough and fever) plus it's raining and near freezing here, so running out is not likely...

So any ideas that I can make at home? I'm pretty well stocked on supplies. I was thinking maybe some glass marble magnets and maybe printing out a qp album to put on a board book...

I'd love ideas you have for last minute gifts- this place is always brimming with inspiration!!! :)

Heather Ann (http://heatheranndesigns.shutterfly.com/) has some cute ideas on her Shutterfly blog, I'm thinking about making the purse calendars for the Grandma's if I can find the time! I still need to finish my CD calendars first though!

I think board books with Quickpages would be the best & easiest idea. Unless you have Tumblers laying around ... those are always well received.

You could also make some ornaments.

I was going to suggest ornaments too. :) Or if you have little boxes lying around, alter those to be used as jewelry boxes. I made one for a friend and it was SO easy, so I plan on making a bunch more :)

I'd definitely recommend CD calendars! There are several varieties in the shoppe and they are SUPER easy to make and print. I got mine done in just a couple of hours the other day.
