Handmade & Homecrafted: Gifts for Kids

This year my pledge is to give handmade gifts as often as possible to family and friends - I'm even getting the kids involved (but forgot to take photos of their gifts for Grandma - doh!).  After continually tidying up after 2 young children and trying to find a home for everything, I have come to realise that birthdays are a nightmare for accumulating the clutter, and so the gifts we'll be giving will be a mix of small ditties, useful ditties and edible ditties.  Here are a few that I've done so far for my daughters school friends and their siblings.  Sadly many of them are not yet available in the shop but only because I havent made enough to stock supply yet....maybe in the not so distant future....perhaps.
Notelet Set - Pack of 8 - Includes a pencil, sealers and 1st class 'stamps'!
Perfect for writing thankyou notes for all those lovely presents.
From top left: The Fifi Jo Boutique Set, Fast Cars and Flyers Set & Hook, Line and Sinker Set. 
All stamped with my own hand carved eraser stamps (yes, even the 1st Class stamps!)
Present for a 7yr old girl:  The Fifi Jo Boutique Notelet Set, Handmade Woven Bead Bracelet (made by my daughter) in handmade box, all packaged in one of my upcycled handstamped gift bags.

Present for a 5yr old boy:  Fast Cars and Flyers Notelet Set and 3 lollies packaged in one of my upcycled handstamped gift bags.

The label for the Science Gak the kids and I made at home.  I've packaged some up in a plastic egg-shaped container and called it Achromatic Gak - it can keep kids occupied for ages! Packaged with the Hook, Line and Sinker Noteset in one of my upcycled gift bags, this will be a present for a 7yr old boy.
