My DD's are making bath salts for Grandparents and Aunts.

I make Pumpking bread, brownies with fudge topping, chocolate covered pretzels for my DH's work. Lots of guys there and they have already put in the request for me to do this.

For my kids teachers (there are 14 between Sunday school and school) I am making baggies of kisses from my ds who is 4 and my dd who is 6. My 9 year old wants to give them some personalized stationary.

The girls are going to make some foam Christmas decorations that I found at Dollar Tree. Those can be gifts to the grandparents and to their great-aunt. Every year I make sugar cookies and give some to our neighbor.

I'm going to make some cookies & mints as well as a few cookie mixes in a jar. I like the wine idea too as we have a ton of it so I may incorporate that into a few gifts that I have to do.

I am making stuffed toys for my Grandson and Nephew. The only thing I will need to buy is a bag of fiberfill. They are both < 1 y.o. and how much toys and stuff will they really need? Nephew will get just the toy, grandson, the toy and money to put away for his 529 Education fund.

I'm making poop! Chocolate reindeer and snowman poop! I know it's pretty gross but I think it's funny and I know everyone will get a kick out of it. I saw them in a catalog for like $7 a bag and thought I can do that. I'm thinking chocolate covered peanut clusters for the reindeer and white chocolate covered marshmallows for the snowmen. I found these cute poems to put on the package too Treat Bags of Candy with cute little poems. Halloween Poop: Pumpkin, Witch, Bat, Scarecrow

I will do a ton of baking. But that is all I am making.

My mom is making something. She keeps collect mason type jars. Says she is making something for Christmas gifts. I have NO clue what it could be.

I also am making a crotchet throw for a good friend. I have already made two scarves for a couple of my son's little girlfriends. Almost done with a quilt for a little two year old who is a good friend of the family. I will soon start baking - which will be for hubby's co-workers. I would like to tackle another small quilt throw - with pictures of my kids on it for my grandparents, but we'll see how the time goes.
