I want to get an early start on some of my Christmas gifts. My current plan is to start with a bottle of dollar store hand sanitizer. I will remove the label and redecorate it using vinyl and my Cricut. I am thinking a monogram of some type.

I would like to find something else to make to go along with the sanitizer and still keep the cost in the $7-10 range. Would I maybe be better using liquid soap and decorating some hand towels? I just can't come up with anything to go along with the hand sanitizer.

Any suggestions, ideas or thoughts would really be appreciated.

Do yu crochet? You could still do hand sanitizer and towels. One towel makes 2 hand towels. 2 different towels (go togethers or matching colors), cut, makes 2 sets. So 2 towels and 2 sanitizers make 2 gifts at $3.00 each. Make a cover (cloth or paper) for a mini pack of Kleenex. All 3 would be a great gift. All matching.

This first post shows you a lot of different ways that you can decorate your sanitizer bottle. I think a couple of hand towels would be nice with it. You can sew a ruffle with Christmas fabric on the bottom of them or a strip of fabric or ribbon along the bottom. The second post shows you ideas how to decorate towels.
