What about a no-sew throw that's easy to make, inexpensive (under $20) and is perfect for personalization. Find a print that's fits what the recipient collects.
You've probably seen versions of these throws in the stores, but why not make your own version as a quick and inexpensive present. There are fleeces that can be used for just about every collector and this is a one-of-a-kind edition they won't already have!
The washable fleece comes in a multitude of colors and patterns, I guarantee you can find one to fit the recipient. There are licensed sports teams, licensed characters from Disney, Sesame Street or Warner Bros., Nascar, etc. But you don't need to use a licensed design, the generic designs can fit just as well.
For example there are fleeces for horse, dog, frog or cat lovers and collectors. Vintage western prints that remind me of old travel postcards. Trains, planes and automobiles for transportation enthusiasts. Teddy bears, patriotic for Americana collectors, galaxies for Star Trekkers, Coke, football themes for sports collectors, bowling prints and numerous holiday prints.
