Tonight the MOTH and I are going to the Christmas break up for his Lions club. I was fortunate enough to draw a woman in the Kris Kringle, which is meant to be between $5.00 and $10.00. Yesterday afternoon and this morning I was industriously knitting...................
a leaf patterned bath set with facewasher,
soap sack (including a bar of nice soap) and
a back scrubber.
To add a little bit of luxury I also included a lovely wax candle from Sugar Creek Scents. I have bought 
quite a few products from here, and have always been impressed at their quality.
On Saturday the MOTH and I will be attending the Christmas breakup of my Lions club, and once again there will be a Kris Kringle, similar costs. This time however we are to take something "unisex", so I don't think I can utilise my knitting talents and will have to actually go out and search for something that can be for a man or a woman. I'm not one who can easily source such a gift, so this is going to be quite a bit more difficult for me. I'd much rather buy for a definite gender. Ah well, we'll get there, I'm sure.
If anyone has any ideas I'd be grateful to hear them.
Well, this is just a short post isn't it? Better than far too long though I guess. Take care everyone, and happy knititng.
Oh how much fun doing Kris Kringle. I would have knit up a unisex colored scarf in a nice pattern for the pressie. At least if the recipient doesnt wear it perhaps their partner or friend could have it. I like the little soap sack and scrubbie too, how cute a gift.

Your bath set looks lovely. :) I knitted washcloths for my volunteers last year - 7 men and two women. The men loved their knitted cloths. I chose a simple pattern and a neutral colour - a surprisingly big hit.

Oh I love that bath set, what a perfect gift. I'll absolutely keep that in mind for all the birthdays coming up after Christmas.
Thanks for the tip!
Take care
