Here are 10 fantastic gift ideas for a crafter:
High-Quality Crafting Tools – Precision scissors, rotary cutters, or an ergonomic craft knife set. My favorite has to be a pair of non-stick titanium scissors.
Cutting Mat – A self-healing cutting mat for precise and mess-free crafting. While not typically a cutting mat but you can cut on it would be my glass mat from GlassBoard Studio (link includes a discount). It is a workhorse of a surface and is magnetic too.
Die-Cutting Machine – A versatile tool like a Cricut or Silhouette for cutting paper, vinyl, fabric, and more. This is a higher priced item and one you would need to know the recipient really wants. There are a variety of different die cutting machines from manual to electric.
Craft Storage Organizer – Portable or desktop storage for organizing supplies like beads, threads, or tools.
Washi Tape Set – A collection of colorful, patterned tapes for endless decorating possibilities. A crafter can never have too many rolls of washi tape, for some it is an obsession.
Paper – Specialty papers, such as textured, metallic, or handmade, for unique projects. Another idea I would add to this category is a journal or mixed media paper journal. I really like the Grumbacher paper pad because the pages are removable to work on and can be replaced when done.
Acrylic Paint Set – A range of colors for painting, stenciling, and mixed-media projects. Fairly new to the market is reclaimed paints. I really enjoy the Deco Earth brand of paints made by DecoArts that are made with reclaimed house paint.
Embossing Kit – Embossing powders, a heat gun, and a few stamps to elevate paper crafts. My favorite heat gun is from Ranger, it is small and quiet.
Personalized Stamp or Embosser – Custom stamps or embossers with their name, business name and logo, or initials for a personal touch.
Craft Subscription Box – Monthly deliveries of curated craft supplies, tools, or project kits for inspiration.
These gifts cater to a crafter’s love for creativity and help them explore new projects and techniques! If you aren’t sure which suggestion would be best, you can always choose an arts and craft store gift certificate!
