21 Great Gifts for Crafters — Sum of their Stories Craft Blog

If you’re here at Sum of their Stories there is a pretty good chance that you love a craft or two, but what about your friends and family? Do you have a mum who loves paper crafting, a gran who likes to crochet, a brother who can’t stop knitting or best friend who is an embroidery nut?

I’ve been scouring ‘tinternet for some great gift ideas. The criteria I’ve used is ‘Do I love it?’ - simple as that!

I’ve not listed BIG expensive gift ideas here, if you are splashing out on something special for a crafter I’d always recommend checking with them first that it’s exactly what they want.

For example, you might want to buy a crocheter a set of beautiful crochet hooks with ergonomic handles (I am pretty confident in saying all crocheters would love this as a gift) but before you buy you need to check what they already have, and if they prefer Clover, Addi, Prym etc. This is important stuff!

Or maybe you want to buy a lovely cutting machine for a papercrafter. They will know if they want Cricut, Sizzix, Silhouette, Brother, Crafters Companion etc. Don’t spend that much money without checking with them first!

So this gift guide is all about those ‘little something’ stocking fillers or smaller gifts. Hopefully this gift guide will make your shopping for craft loving friends and family easier. And don’t forget, there’s nothing in the rules that says you can’t forward this to any family or friends that might need a hint for you too of course!!

Click through each photo or the linked words to find out how to buy these gift ideas. Some of these are affiliate links, some I’ve just included because I love them - either way the price you pay is the same.
