Christmas Gift Guide for Crafters

I thought it would be fun to feature a gift guide for crafters. I have included three different guides below in three different price ranges to give you plenty of options. I hope these lists inspire you to find a gift you think your creative friend will enjoy! Merry Christmas!

1. Seeing Flowers Everyday Tote Bag by Rifle Paper Co. I have a confession, I love purchasing tote bags (especially pretty ones). They are a great storage option for all of my different hobbies. They are also perfect for on-the-go crafts when I am waiting in my son's school line, at the doctor's office, wherever. I feel you can never have too many pretty totes, and this Rifle Paper Co. tote is so cute!

2. Sew Sampler Monthly Subscription Sampler Box. I think this would be such a fun gift for your avid quilter friends and for those interested in quilting. It would be so fun to receive a new creative, surprise project in the mail every month.

3. Stanley Toolbox. Though it may not be glamorous, it is very useful. I have this one-latch toolbox from Stanley, and I love it. It stores my hot glue gun and glue sticks, good scissors, nice tapes, sewing thread and needles, measuring tapes, and other items I want to have nearby but don't want the children to get their hands on.

4. Embossing Heat Tool by Paper Source. Regardless of the skill level, I believe any crafter would love this embossing heat tool. I purchased this one several years ago, and I enjoy embellishing thank you cards, Christmas cards, birthday cards, and other fun paper crafts. It is almost magical watching the glitter solidify before your eyes.

5. Wood Calendar by Artifact Uprising. Eventhough I have never purchsed anything from Artifact Uprising before, they have been on my radar for years. I love their minimalist style that allows you to focus on the photos. And these wood calendars would be so fun to personalize and gift to any crafter.

6. Hot Glue Gun by Cobiz. For years I have been working with very cheap hot glue guns. I recently upgraded to this hot glue gun, and I wished I would have done it sooner. It heats up quickly, and with two different heat settings allows me to work on different mediums (styrofoam, plastic, and cloth on the low setting) without burning myself. Any hot glue lover would appreciate this quality hot glue gun.

1. Magazine Subscriptions. Magazines provide me with a lot of inspiration for my projects. I love receiving them every month in my mail. There are so many niche magazines to choose from that I believe you can find one perfect for your crafter.

2. Bauble Bar. I discovered Bauble Bar several years ago, and I find myself browsing their website several times a year to see what ceative piece of jewelry I can add to my wish list. Their products are well priced (especially during a sale), and are very unique. I am sure you can find something for your creative friend.

3. ImpressArt Metal Stamping Kit. I believe metal stamping could be a fun hobby to get into. Your crafters will enjoy personalizing their metal, leather and wood creations.

4. DIY Candle Making Kit. I love a fun, inclusive DIY kit. This candle making kit will get any crafter started, and possibly hooked on a new hobby.

5. Gift Cards. Crafting can get expensive, and I know any crafters would appreciate some help funding a hobby. Gift cards are an especially great option for your friends that dabble in a lot of different crafting hobbies.

6. Craft Festival. There are craft festivals around the country that focus on niche crafts. The one I have featured is the International Quilt Festival in Houston and Chicago. It could be fun to purchase a ticket for your crafter and for yourself. It can be a great bonding experience. Craft festivals can also be a great learning experience with classes and exposure to new products. There is also an opportunity to support artisans at the booths. When purchasing a ticket keep in mind the cost for travel, food and drinks, and any items you plan to purchase during the show.

1. Silhouette Jewelry by Le Papier Studio. I have had their fine jewelry on my wish list for several years. Le Papier can create a silhouette from an image you provide onto a piece of jewelry, or you can choose from their stock silhouettes. What a beautiful way to honor someone special to you.

2. Silhouette Cameo 3 Bundle Pack. I received this bundle pack for Mother's Day last year, and I love it. After a little learning curve I was able to create beautiful paper pieces that I wouldn't have been able to by hand and in a much shorter timeframe. This summer I created over 50 paper flowers for a photo backdrop for my son's school fundraiser because of this machine. It is the most expensive item on my list, however it will get a lot of use as any crafter will appreciate it as a very helpful tool.

3. Custom Short Half Apron by Oatmeal Lace Designs. What avid crafters wouldn't love a custome apron to keep all of their necessary items around their waist while crafting? Even better if your crafter has a nickname or side-hustle business name that you can customize their logo onto.

4. Women's Keds and Rifle Paper Co. Anchor Vintage Blossoms Shoes. I own a pair of these shoes and I wear them all the time. They are perfect for on-the-go errands, while also feeling put together with their adorable design. They are also very comfy and will work well during any crafternoon.

5. Chunky Throw Wool Blanket. These trendy large throws are perfect for the cold months. Not only would your crafters appreciate the quality, but they would like that you are supporting an artisan through Etsy.

6. 2019 Daily Simplified Planner by Emily Ley. Emily Ley's products are the epitome of simple and classic, yet pretty. I fell in love with her Simplified Planner several years ago when I first purchased one. I use my phone and this planner to create my to-do lists everyday. There is something so satisfying about physically marking out a to-do list item. For those who love to write in their planners, this one is perfect because there is plenty of white space with prompts to help get the planning process going.
