Know what's all the rage now?  High School Musical fabric book covers.  Easy to make, just straight stitching.  Make a bunch for party gifts (need to know a standard book size, maybe your kid can help here).  You could even sew a pencil pocket on the front or on the spine.

 

Be the coolest parent on the planet and make a book cover out of cool High School Musical fabric.

 

If you make one, take a picture and send it to us! We'll post it here.

You could also make a poncho or a scarf or a comfy throw using High School Musical fleece or flannel fabric.
