Great Last Minute Gifts for Crafters

Great ideas for the crafters on your list

If you are like me then you have a hard time figuring out what to give as gifts. I am probably the worst gift chooser in the world, especially when it comes to buying something at a store in a hurry. I have learned that if you know what your friends are interested in- such things as hobbies and crafts- then it is much easier to concoct a plan for giving them gifts!

Buy the gift that keeps on giving! If you have crafty people in your life, they will enjoy receiving something that will fund their projects and add variety to their hobbies. Whether they knit, quilt, or upcycle, you can find something fabulous for a gift!

For the one who knits or crochets

bouquet of knitting needlesFind a local yarn store and buy them the supplies to make you something! You can hand-pick the yarn and pattern (with the help of the shopkeeper), and that way your loved one will have an idea for you! This works great for kids especially, because they can in turn make something as a gift.

Supplies are always great, but sometimes knitters and crocheters enjoy getting the "extras" that they can't afford on their own or have never thought of buying themselves. Row counters, needle & hook cases, and yarn cutters all make special little gifts.

For the quilter

Wonky Square Quilting PatternQuilters love fabric! Anything from fat quarters to yards, a quilter is always in search of fascinating finds. Great gifts for quilters also include those pre-cut stacks of strips and squares, or get them some variegated thread so they can make their next piece extra special.

You can also find tools of the trade, such as cutting mats and rotary blades. Always ask a quilter if they need any special items for their sewing machine. I know I was very excited to receive a walking foot for my Baby Lock machine for Christmas!

For someone who likes to scrapbook

Vacation scrapbookGet creative with your gifts for the scrapbook fan. You can purchase a gift card for photo development, or provide some family pictures along with stickers and paper to make a few pages. Ink pads and stamps might be something of interest to them as well. The ideas are endless to the embellishments, paper, and tools you can gather to put together a "scrap-basket".

For the artist

WatercoloursLook for unique sketchbooks and utensils for the artist. Find out what their favorite medium is and find a few special colors for their collection. Paints, pencils, or pastels can all be bought individually.

Buy items for the artist that they can take while traveling. Miniature watercolor pads, small sets of premium paints, and manga pens are great for making small sketches on the go. They can keep busy while riding in the plane or car.
