Our PTO Holiday Fun shop consists of the usual stuff but also homemade crafts. I'd love to help out but i have ZERO ideas!

Any good ideas?!?! Someone mentioned lifesaver trains; someone else is making reindeer dust.

Thanks!

If you can crochet or are willing to learn, crocheted face scrubbies are the easiest project imaginable. I actually really like using them now instead of cotton balls for washing my face/taking off makeup. They are great.
I don't have a pattern, I just make little squares. Here is what I am talking about: http://www.etsy.com/search_results.php?search_type=handmade&search_query=face+scrubbies&order=date_desc&ship_to=

Cookie mixes in a jar are quick and easy. You just put all the dry ingredients in one of the big ball jars, put a piece of Christmas fabric over the lid and attach the directions.

Painted trivets - easy to make, could make them for holidays easily with stamps. See craft forum for how I have done them in the past for cheap.

Cloth diaper burp clothes - with a sewing maching you can frill up a cloth with a bit of ribbon.

Cards - stamp cards/stationery. Gift tags are expecially helpful around the holidays.

Gift wrap - dare you do a gift wrap center and wrap what people are buying?

Cookies - can never go wrong with selling your famous ______ cookies.
