Losing your mojo right before a handmade Christmas is a bit of a disaster. Ok. Completely disastrous actually. This is what I am doing today. Getting a Birthday gift together for my Mum. (She doesn't have the internet at her house, so I'm safe-ish showing you this. Just as long as she doesn't pop to the library or visit a kindly relative!)
My Mum loves pretty tins, so I thought this one was a winner. And today I am sitting here looking at it, trying to decide what to put in it! It did come with shortbread, but since Mum has celiac disease (no wheat products allowed) I ditched the shortbread and was thinking I would sew a little pretty something and put it in the tin. So far I've got nothing! Suggestions welcome!

Make her a couple of quilted pot holders and buy some gluten free shortbread (I am sure you can get it).

That is disastrous if you have lost your mojo, hope it comes back soon. That is such a cute tin, maybe you could fill it up with something that she is allowed, candied nuts maybe (Charlesworths have a good selection)
How about a few quilted ornaments. Some small star blocks would do the trick! Dark blue or black background with silver and/or gold stars would be pretty.
What about a pretty apron ?? Hope your mojo returns quickly :))
What about making it a baking tin with some pretty patty pans, a few cookie cutters, mini loaf tins (perfect for when she wants to make GF cakes) and some cute toppers.
Or you could do a mini sewing basket?
I second the potholders - or perhaps a zipped pouch (you can never have too many zipped pouches)
I agree with never having too many zippered pouches, I like the spectacles/sunglasses cosies - Is she a gadget mum? I-pad or Kindle cover? One of those over the armchair organisers for projects. I've also seen some patchy frames, you could make a few and fill them with family photos?
