Simple gift ideas to make for friends or the homeless this Christmas

By
If you are having trouble finding that special gift to buy someone this Christmas then why not make something simple yourself.  You cannot beat giving gifts that people know you made especially for them instead of ducking into the first store and buying any old gifts of the store shelf.

These gifts, can be made from wool, crochet, woodworking, seashells, driftwood, stained glass or anything at all. It is not what or how you make your special gift it is the time and thought that goes into making it for that special someone.
