Last minute trinkets

I've been coming up with little trinkets to make with my spare yarn to give as little gifts for the holidays or birthdays.
I made a friend a little cell phone or ipod bad by casting on 20 and knitting in the round, with a ribbed top. Then a i string cord to close it. And a little strand of string with a ring clip to clip onto a bag or belt. I'll post a pic when Iget a chance. I want one for myself, but need a phone. lol.
adding pic:



Journal cover
I just thought that it'd be cute to make a journal cover too. Just make a bind in stochinette or some other cute stitch, fold pages in the center and make a little braided string to bind them to the cover. Use the same braided string as a page holder. I will try that for a Christmas present.

Sachets
It would be the same idea as the ipod case. Filled with dried flowers soaked in lavendar and other eos. Yummy.

Child's small handbag/purse
I was thinking of making my niece a purse for christmas. Again, same idea as the ipod case, but bigger. With a straight strap attached to each side. Or just weabe a long icord through and use the same icord as the straps.

Happy knitting!
