CHRISTMAS IN AUGUST something the kids can actually create and give with a little supervision. -cupcake in a cup- http://familyfun.go.com/crafts/cup-cakes-661762/

This cupcake-in-a-cup, another fun craft from FamilyFun.com, makes a great gift

TIP: Shop secondhand for cups that were made in the USA --that meet no lead requirements for heated foods. Cups usually say on the bottom where they were manufactured.

CHRISTMAS IN AUGUST Quilts--Fast and Furious lap quilt from fitted sheets. Shop the secondhand for these! Great for picnic blankets, pet bed gifts, extra crib quilts, car quilts, or lap quilts for the elderly. http://daisyjanie.typepad.com/daisyjanie/2011/01/how-to-quick-quilt-from-repurposed-fitted-sheets.html

No marking, no piecing, no binding and minimal measuring - so minimal that I'm not even sure it counts. Not a great deal of thinking either.

Such a cute idea! Ask the kids how granny makes her best recipe and write it down on a white cotton towel for a gift! Hilarious! http://crafts.kaboose.com/recipe-dish-towel.html
