I'd like to make as much as possible for holiday gifts this year, both to save money but also for a creative outlet. What are some things you've made families and friends as gifts that were a hit? Could be food or beverage, art, etc. (I don't know how to knit so no sweaters/hats please.)

Looking for peel-and-stick tiles that don’t suck. Ready for a tiled kitchen backsplash to hide the wall stains behind the stove but not ready for the cost and work of installing real tiles, so want to try out peel and stick first.

Heading to Richmond, VA for the weekend with a friend. Where should we eat/shop/see beautiful things?
