Day seven of Handmade Christmas Challenge- Gifts for the Home

Get ready for a slew of long overdue challenges.  Today is gifts for the home.
There are a few things in life that are certain, death, taxes and laundry.  Make it more pleasant with the right accesories:

This laundry bag is easy and very pretty.  Here is a really cute laundry pin bag to go with it (you can find clothes pins really inexpensively and you could go as far as painting some clothespins to go with the theme, (these would be very appreciated by someone who is trying to be green by using a solar dryer, you know a clothesline)

For a really cute door decoration for any season (depending on the colors you use) here is a pom-pom door wreath from Whip Up.
This next gift is so customizable and everyone eats so everyone can use some handmade cloth napkins.  Here is one that uses up the fabric scraps leftover from other projects from sew mama sew.
and for the bathroom, a crochet faux toilet paper roll, toilet paper roll cover from Irish Lace.  This gift would be a funny conversation piece.
For the magazine lover,  here is a tutorial on how to make a magazine holder
Here is a cute gift to go with the cloth napkins, a utensil placemat
Hope you got some ideas, now get to work!
