You can take any bag such as a shopping bag, tote bag, or backpack with a thoughtful design to give to someone who loves getting thoughtful gifts. The tote bags come in a variety of colors and sizes. Buy a tote bag from the nearby store, and get some cut-away stabilizers and patterns that appeal to the recipient.

If you have time, you can embroider a quilt. It is a beautiful gift and will be cherished for years to come. Pillows are also easy to stitch so you can embroider them with any design they enjoy daily. You can also make embroidered baby blankets with names and minimal stitching. Make sure to take care of fonts and stitches when embroidering a cozy plush blanket.

7) Gifts in a jar

You cannot embroider the jar but design a jar top and put little things on top. For example, you can take a fabric wrap for the top, cut it, and put it under the jar’s ring. You can also embroider labels for the jar. Again, there are a lot of ideas about which things to put in jars. Simply browse Pinterest for jar gift ideas.

For example, you can embroider the cover for mason jar, tea, or drink jar top with an embroidery machine. Another example is, if you do your canning or give someone homemade pickles or jelly in the jar, you can use your embroidery machine to decorate the lid cover or wrap fabric around it with a short note or label. It is one of the prettiest gifts to offer to your loved ones by being creative with embroidery.

8) Embroidered warmers

It’s an excellent care package to send to loved ones. You can use them for foot warmers or sore muscles. It is just a fabric bowl filled with something but make sure not to burn it. There are a couple of free designs if you want to make a foot warmer in different sizes. 

You can embroider whatever you want, just take your favorite design and put it on it but make sure you use the right materials. You can give these warmers to adults in your family, not to kids. If someone is not feeling well, make a care package with this warmer and make it more personalized by embroidering “get well soon” or just their name. It is a thoughtful gift with an emotional vibe to give to your close friends and family.

9) Towel basket

This is one of the memorable gift ideas that is useful and impressive. You can gift a basket with all kinds of towels including hand, bath, bleach, hair, or kitchen towels. It doesn’t take time to embroider a towel. There are so many things you can embroider a towel on. 

You can download emdigitizer’s free designs of all categories to personalize towels accordingly. If you don’t need to invest in designing a basket, you can just take a piece of cardboard, cut it to towel size, and wrap the towel around. That’s a good way to make the towel stand out in a gift basket.

10) Plush or stuffed animals

Plush toys appear popular among children, but some adults also enjoy them. You can embroider the blank areas such as tummies or plushies or even some people embroider ears and feet. You can embroider on any area you want in the hoop. Consider a basic teddy bear with tiny portions of embroidered cloth and fleece in various spots. Research reveals that a large number of men and women population have one or more stuffed animals and plushies. When someone crafts these embroidered stuffed animals specifically for you, you won’t be able to get rid of them.

Wrapping of gifts

Once you have your projects, you can also use embroidery to make the wrapping special. For example, an embroidered gift bag is a beautiful way to present a gift. You can also top off your gift bag with an embroidered tag. You can have an embroidered name or just write them with fabric markers. If you are giving a gift card, add a personal touch with an embroidered gift card holder. You can also add embroidered greeting cards as well.
