Default Inexpensive (aka cheap) gift idea

Help!!!!

One of my stitching groups is having an early holiday luncheon Wednesday. If
interested in participating in a gift exchange, we're supposed to bring
something stitching related that costs under $10. All the regulars have been
stitching for eons and therefore have a lot of stuff; they're also very, very
accomplished stitchers and crafters. Other than a gift card, I can't think of
anything.

Help!!!!

A book on an obscure technique?

A selection of fancy threads.

Those funky pins to mark counts.

Packages of needles.

A pair of scissors to travel with (under $10 = I don't care if I lose
them) on a lanyard.

Any help?

Buy some square quilted potholders. Fold in half and stitch up bottom
and side edge to make a glasscase.

Or with quilted fabric, run up some travel cases for makeup for
brushes. i.e. make some of the pockets, wide, narrow and in between.

Ditto to what Mary said! I love mine and use it all the time! It fits so
nice in my hand!

Adding on to Linda's great ideas, stitcher's magnet - there are so many nice
looking ones - that have a top/bottom and sandwhich your fabric, so they can
hold your needles, threader on top - make a great place for parking things.

Also, someone once gave me a whetstone specifcally for my embroidery
scissors.

Needle tugger, or little stitcher's clamp (like mini-hemostats)

Great hand lotion.

Stither's diary/journal. Stitcher's bookplates, labels for your finished
pieces.

Just some more ideas.
