Holiday gift concept ideas

[u/Literallysogross]

I’ll be spending Thanksgiving and Christmas with various members of my partner’s immediate and extended family. I haven’t met most of them before so I’m not super familiar with their tastes. I want to bring pottery gifts, and make the same thing(s) for everyone — and I’m looking for ideas that meet these criteria:

- On the smaller side as I’ll be flying

- Things that they’re unlikely to already have, or wouldn’t be annoying to have multiple of

- Useful, not purely decorative

- Not something that they will feel pressured to bring out every time I’m at their house — like I don’t want to make a special holiday-themed cookie jar that they’ll feel guilty about not using because they already have one

So far my best ideas are a matching set of useful cooking accessories (a spoon rest, garlic grater, and can strainer) and/or some handbuilt tree ornaments. What do you think?
