If you have a crafter or DIYer in your life that seems to already have everything, you may find getting a gift for them can be hard. As a crafty person myself, I think this group is the easier to shop for!
1. Classes
There is a wealth of craft classes and techniques to learn from. Craftsy has a ton of classes in just about every craft. You can even try their classes out for free to see if your recipient might like them. Studio Calico and Big Pictures Classes have more paper crafts classes.

2. Consumables
If you know they go through a lot of a certain supply, you can buy them that supply in bulk so they have plenty of stock. Examples would be things like Paper, Glue, Fabric, Thread, Paint, etc.

3. The “Upgrade”
Perhaps your crafter already has a nifty machine or device they love. You can get them an “upgrade” or accessory for it. For example, if they have a regular Sewing Machine, get them a serger for faster sewing. If they have a silhouette cameo, you could give them this heat press machine. If they have a regular camera, get this DSLR or perhaps this new lens for their DSLR.

4. Subscription boxes
There are subscription boxes services for a lot different crafts: knitting, coloring, hand lettering, etc. I personally love paper crafts and card making so I like this monthly card kit subscription. Research the company and see if you can get a 3 or 6 month subscription as a gift.

Craft Retreat
A weekend craft retreat for your crafter and her friends would be an awesome gift. You generally just rent the house for the weekend, and the house is set up with tables, chairs, and lots of creative inspiration.

Craft Organization
For this that have a lot of crafting supplies, some kinds of craft organizer might make the perfect gift. For example, this rolling cart is popular with a lot of crafters. You can try this stand for Markers, paint brushes, and colored pencils, or this bag for yarn organization.

Craft Apron
Crafting can be messy. Protect your crafter’s outfit with this crafting apron and keep tools close. I recommend getting one with pockets so it’s more convenient.

Pins and Brooches
Enamel pins are really popular and they don’t take up too much space. They can be pinned to clothes or fabric or even pinned on a push pin board. Or if they prefer to wear their crafter status, you could get them a charm like this.

Customized Craft Tote Bag
A personalized tote bag to take crafting on the go would make a great gift. Just make sure it’s of good quality and can hold some weight.

Craft Mug
Your crafter must have a favorite drink. You can get a personalized mug or bottle so your crafter can rehydrate during their DIY sessions.

Tablet or laptop with software
If your budget is pretty flexible, hint around to see if your crafter would enjoy this tablet which is compatible in the latest drawing and sketching software, especially when you get them this pencil.

Craft Desk
Is your crafter doing their DIY work on the dining room table, or the family computer desk? You can get this ultimate craft table.

Comfy Chair
if you have the space. Or how about a special comfy craft chair designated only for them?

Desk Lighting
Crafters need to see what they are creating, of course. A slim but powerful lamp like this one maximizes their lighting but doesn’t intrude on desk space.

If all else fails, a Gift Card to their favorite craft store is never a bad a gift 😉
