> A desk name plate in "Braille". The dots can be made with puff paint. I think that almost any homemade gift would be treasured, just as you treasure those that your child made for you.

> I have seen plastic molds for chocolate or homemade soap on ebay that have messages in Braille. They aren't very expensive and can be used over and over.
>
> There is a type of candy that you may have seen that are colored dots stuck to a roll of paper. The dots are just like a Braille cell. You can carefully remove the dots to make a message. The dots can spell "For You" or some cute message.
> Make bookmarks brailled with inspirational quotes, especially by people with visual impairments. I used old calendars (the APH calendars are great) because the paper is stiff enough to braille and to be an efficient bookmark.
> Here is a link to a website that sells braille jewelry this link pasted below is for a teacher's necklace
