    25 of the best crafty gifts for crafters

    As a crafter myself, I often get asked to recommend gifts for crafters of every shape and form. You may think, that would be an easy enough question to ask a crafter but it's not always as easy as it seems.

    Recommending gifts for crafters

    Here are a few things I ask before I start recommending any gifts for crafters.

    • Firstly, what's your budget? Is the gift meant as a stocking filler, a secret Santa gift for a colleague or a main present for someone you love? This will mean the difference between, for instance, a mug with a crafty quote, a t-shirt with a crafty design, or a luxury toolset for the crafter in question.
    • Secondly, Does the person have a main craft that they enjoy? If so, is there something you could get that they wouldn't normally be able to buy for themselves? For instance, a sewer might make do with assembling patterns on a table but wouldn't a tailor's dummy make their lives easier and be just the perfect gift?
    • Thirdly, Does the intended recipient stick to one kind of craft or do they enjoy trying out new things? For instance, the sewer above may also enjoy trying their hand at other textile-based crafts such as macrame or weaving.
    25 gifts for crafters ,for all budgets.

    Gifts for crafters can be a bit expensive and out of budget for some, so consider pooling your money with other family members. This will mean that you can give a gift that will not only make a huge difference to the crafter in question but will also give you that “WOW!” factor.
