Christmas to do list from The Crafter's Apprentice

Hello, me again!  I've finally finished my Christmas present to do list, so here it is (items in orange are already made:

Mum - CRM cross stitch cushion - I've been working on this for a while
        - glasses case from this tutorial
        - slippers
        - mani pedi kit (can't find the link, I'll publish it when I've made it)
        - amigurumi pig
        - tea cup candle
         - pocket tissue pouch
        - Christmas decoration
I'll probably need a few more items for my mum, she'll also get homemade biscuits/sweets

Dad - glasses case
       - Flash drive keyrings
       - Keyboard duster
Arghhh!  Really stuck, dad's so hard and he has a birthday in November.  He's diabetic so maybe some diabetic biscuits and diabetic cookies in a jar

Mother in law - mani pedi kit
                      - Frilly apron
                      - Spa kit (I'll publish a tute when I've made it)
                      - tea cup candle
                        - glasses case
                      - pocket tissue pouch
                      - Christmas decoration

Father in law - glasses case
                     - non-frilly apron
Think I'll need more for FIL too, sweets and biscuits probably.  I was considering trying jam or chutney, but I'm not sure I'll have the time

Brother - Flash drive keyrings
             - Yoda amigurumi
             - crochet R2D2

    For the items you're making multiples of, do assemblyline sewing to save time. Do all the cutting at once, all the interfacing, make all the handles at once - etc. etc. I would do the main gift(s) for each person first, then make the extras as you have time - that way if you run out of time you're not totally screwed (and you can always pick up little fillers at the store to round out the gift). For the 9 month old baby - make him a stuffy - you're ever so good at that, and you do lovely work! Add a couple of patchwork bibs (maybe with his name initial on them?) and you're good to go!

    Thanks for the suggestions Adele. I've already made him a taggy and a blanket - but the tshirt might be an idea. Thanks!
