Decorate the lid of the box with multi-colored knitted flowers and leaves, complementing the jewelry with beads. Any woman will be happy with such an unusual gift.
Candy box

Some take ordinary napkins as a basis, soak them in a solution of starch or sugar and put on a blank, which serves as a suitable bowl. After that, an unusual object appears on the table with sweets inside, reminiscent of the holiday, on the occasion of which it was presented.
Toys
A huge number of options for such products. They are made from a variety of yarn. Some fit in your pocket, others can even be used as a pillow. If you tie a funny cat or bear to a child, it is quite possible that he will become a real friend for the baby, without whom he will not want to go to bed.
Trinket
A crocheted item of this kind can have any shape. Many crocheted trinkets are the same toys, only of a very small size. At the same time, they allow you to quickly find the keys in a bunch of other things.
If you carefully think about the design of the gift, taking into account the nature and preferences of the person who is supposed to give it, you can only rejoice how much the present came to the place.
Plaid
This cozy gift will come just right on New Year's holidays or on the birthday of someone who was born in the cold season. It is advisable to use for knitting threads, which in a large product will not gain a noticeable mass. Then the plaid will not become unnecessarily heavy and will not create problems when washing.

Such a gift is good not only for your beloved grandmother. This is a wonderful decoration that completes the image of a modern woman. A crocheted openwork shawl, for example, is a great addition to a coat. According to the scheme, such a product can be created in a few days, sitting at the TV.
Hats
This is a great option for "gift creation." Hats and berets for any season are knitted for people completely different in age and character. Such things are done literally in an evening or two, but the gift is remembered for a long time.
A bag
Given the variety of methods for crocheting, the craftswomen create unique practical products. Such a gift will be especially appreciated by a woman who regularly goes on vacation to the sea. On the beach, a knitted bag is very out of place. This is a stylish accessory where you can remove a lot of irreplaceable items that should be at hand on vacation.
Knitting gifts
Many products look much better if they are made with knitting needles. Large canvases are softer and more pleasant to the touch compared to those created by crocheting. In addition, knitting large-sized things is sometimes easier on knitting needles, especially if the tools have a large diameter.
Scarf
Such a gift is by the way for any person. For particularly fashionable, you can "release" another variety - snud. The scarf can be plain, striped, with braids made of garter stitch and so on. For knitting, it is undesirable to choose pure wool, it is preferable to take yarn with a high acrylic content.
If there is a lot of hair, the scarf will crack, creating discomfort to the skin of the face and neck. In addition, the wool quickly rolls up, and its appearance is lost faster than things with acrylic.
Socks
This gift is definitely not lying in the corner. Socks can be worn at home and worn outside in cold weather. Under the "specific recipient of the gift" you can arrange them in the form of golf. When knitting, you need to take into account the size of the feet of the person who celebrates the holiday.Although, taking into account that the socks are somewhat stretched when donning, if you are slightly mistaken, it’s not scary.
Gloves and mittens
If the size of the future gift coincides with the size of your own hand or the brush of another person who can try on a knitted product in the course of its creation, there is no doubt that it will fit in with someone who is planning a holiday. Gloves are a little more difficult to knit, since you have to knit each finger separately, but mittens are not at all difficult to implement. You can do these things in one tone with a relief pattern or create a jacquard pattern on them.
Such things presented for the New Year look wonderful, especially if they are made in the appropriate colors and themes of the picture. For example, with snowflakes or Christmas trees. Although, at will, you can depict flowers, stars or traditional folk patterns on them.
Pullover
A variation of this option can be a jacket or a vest. Since knitting full clothes requires time, it is advisable to start work much in advance before the expected time of delivery. If you do something in a hurry, the result may not be at all what was expected. But if you knit calmly, competently, the sweater will become the very thing with which a person will not want to part even after years.
Pillow
Knits of this kind look elegant and are not lost among other additions to the sofa. The knitted part is only the cover. To make the product look attractive, it is important to consider its design, taking into account the shape of the pillow itself. Here, a variety of patterns that can be knitted with needles will come to the rescue, as well as thread colors, combined in different ways.
Case for phone
An exclusive little thing does not require much time for manufacturing, but it looks original. You can decorate it, depending on the features of the person to whom such a gift is intended and taking into account the shape of a particular phone. It is also necessary to make sure that it is convenient to use the cover.
Tips
Knitwear when used requires special handling. Given that they need to be washed periodically, the gift holder must know in advance how to do it correctly. Together with the present, it is advisable to attach the instruction manual for the thing. In it you need to specify:
- what specific threads are used when knitting;
- what washing conditions they require;
- how to dry them.
