I am looking for good ideas. Each fall for the Border Route Challenge, I make stuff sacks as a participation "gift" for all the paddlers and fill them with small stuff (Band-Aids, Chapstick, sun lotion and the like) I also make some other small items - some years I have done insulated beer can covers or thwart straps. I need ideas of small useful things I can make and personalize. Oh, I also have the capability (special machine) to embroider on words or designs. Ideas?? And, if you have made any items - please add your pics!

Great ideas and good pics. I like the towel idea - it would be easy to embroider on and make a small case/pack for it. I will start looking for yardage to make them.
Your map case idea is also interesting. I think I will research that a little too.

Oh, I forgot to mention - good moose and there is a cute fox in your yard.

Do you have a source for microfiber towel yardage (like the material of Sea to Summit microfiber towels)? I've sometimes thought that a microfiber towel in a square shape, like a bandana, could be useful just as bandanas have many uses.

small 'bag' that one can fill with rock and close, with lope to be attached to rope for hanging food pack (for tossing line over/around tree) ….
