Crochet toys (particularly amigurumi) are very popular with children and teens.

Crocheted baby blankets (and if you can be bothered, full size ones, too) are also in fashion - the ripple ones in particular.

Have a look on www.ravelry.com for inspiration - there are thousands of patterns on there smile.

I was going to say cards too Puddelchen. A good idea. Something personal that most people enjoy getting.

I do cross stitch cards. I get the fun of making them and the recipient is usually pleased but isn’t under any obligation to keep long term.

They are crying out for crocheted items for the animals in Australia affected by the fires.https://www.thesprucecrafts.com/help-australia-wildfire-animals-4781336

Nobody of a younger generation wants pot plant mats of milk jug covers any more. Nor does anybody want embroidered hankies.

Can anyone think of anything small but useful I can make, using crochet or embroidery? So far, have thought of making pefume sachets for drawers and embroidering them with a small motif.

I so enjoy the manuality of these activities but want to make things that my nearest and dearest can enjoy and make use of.
