I crochet very well, so the crochet quality is fine--it's just that so many things end up looking so very "handmade."

I think a scarf is a lovely gift. It will look handmade, but that's part of the charm! And many storebought products are trying to imitate that handmade look.

I second occ's suggestion. Also useful to crochet (or knit) are oven hot pads--I knit one years ago as a trial for a baby blanket, and it's been my favorite hot pad lo these many years.

"Crappy handmade gift?" I think not. Handmade is the greatest!

Ipod cozies that look like animals--you know, with ears on the top. Here's one that looks like an old-school tape:

And: one that looks like a hoody. You could use these for cell phones too... http://www.macobserver.com/article/2005/10/cozy.gif

Can you knit? Is your giftee in the tech industry? This "binary" scarf is pretty cool: http://knitty.com/ISSUEwinter06/PATTbinary.html

You could always make a cute hat, and I agree with the other responses. Handmade is much better; it shows that you put planning and work into the gift.
