Crafters Gift Basket
If you are giving a gift to a crafter, get a fun basket and fill it with all sorts of things that the crafter would use. For example, if she is into plastic canvas, you could fill it with plastic canvas yarn and fun shapes of plastic canvas along with new needles and novelty cords made for stitching on plastic canvas. You could also include a small kit for something quick and fun to do.
