Gifts for Crafty People

1 – Crafty Education

Is the creative person in your life looking to add a new crafty skill to their tool belt?  Consider purchasing a class for them.  Local art studios and community centers offer beginning courses in just about everything under the sun.

If that doesn’t seem like a good fit, you can sign them up for an online class.  Blueprint (formerly Craftsy) offers classes in just about every crafty endeavor under the sun:

Gifting Pro-Tip: Picking an individual class to gift can be daunting – consider gifting a subscription so the receiver can choose the crafts and classes that interest them!

Or give a crafting book. Check out a few of my picks below:

4 – Unique Craft Storage and Organizing Solution

If you know a crafter who has a serious craft stash, they are probably always looking for new organizing solutions for all of their craft supplies. Check out these fun options:

5 -A craft gadget they never knew they needed!

When I saw some of these products, it was definitely a “why didn’t I think of that” moment! These aren’t necessarily “need” items for your crafter, but they will love to have them in their supply stash!

(use the left and right arrows to scroll through the options)

Envelope Punch Board – you can make custom envelopes in any shape and with your choice of paper. Think of the possibilities… I would make envelopes for everything!

Fiskars Fingertip Craft Knife – You’ve got to see this thing in action! This definitely qualifies for the most useful craft tool for less than the price of a fancy latte at your local coffee shop.

Olfa Folding Mat – Regular cutting mats are bulky and awkward. And any crafter knows that you can NEVER fold or roll them. This folding cutting mat is perfect for crafting on the go or for crafters with limited desk space.

Lil’ Holster – this holster grips to the top of your desk (without being sticky or needing adhesive) making it perfect for holding extra glue sticks or other small crafting supplies.

Gold Crane Scissors – these scissors would make a beautiful addition to any scissor collection.

Crop-A-Dile Eyelet and Snap Punch – I would describe this to you, but I’m too busy effortlessly punching holes and adding eyelets to everything.

6 – The latest “it” crafting machine

We all know a crafter who treats their cutting machine (think Cricut or Silhouette) like it is attached to their body. There is nothing that can’t use a trendy decal! Help them up their crafting game with the latest, greatest cutting machine: the Cricut Maker.

With it’s rotary blade, your can precisely cut various types of fabric and even delicate crepe paper. But you can also cut ticker materials (up to 2.4 mm (3/32”) thick). That means materials like balsa wood and leather are free game. Read this review if you want more details about the Cricut Maker.

7 – A Gift Card

I know that gift cards can seem a bit impersonal, but any crafter would love to receive a gift card to their favorite craft store. Then they can select the exact supplies that the need for their next project.
