Perfect Holiday Gifts for those who Crochet

If you know someone who loves to crochet and they happen to be on your gift list, you might be wondering how you can surprise them with something special during the holidays.  There are hundreds of little gifts that the newest as well as the most seasoned crocheter will appreciate.

• Ribbon, Buttons & Buckles
• The most seasoned crocheter loves to have little items to personalize all of their crochet projects. Buttons and ribbons can be used to create an easy to open pillow topping, to put the finishing touches on a sweater or other garment and buckles can add a fresh look to belts, purses and more.

• Yarns
• Every crocheter loves to get new yarns. Look for some type of unusual yarn such as fun furs, specialty yarns hand dyed yarns, etc.  Another great idea is to hunt through second hand stores for odd lots of partially used yarns which make great granny square afghans!

• Tote Bags and boxes
• Everyone who crochets likes to be able to carry their work with them.  From the smallest to the larges totes, you can surprise a friend or a loved one with a unique tote bag or boxes for storing their crochet supplies at home.

• Hooks/Needles
• Many of those who crochet limit themselves to only one specific type of crochet hook. Consider buying some unique crochet hooks that are specifically designed for one use only (such as creating pom poms, etc.,) or pick up some darning needles for them to add to their stock of supplies.

• Pattern Books
• If you know what your favorite crocheter has in their library of patterns this makes a really fun and well accepted gift.  Books that offer specific patterns such as doll clothing, children’s clothing, afghans, doilies or other patterns are always a welcome gift.

• Gift Certificates
• Head off to your nearest crochet supply center and surprise your friend or family member with a gift certificate that they can redeem for the supplies they’d like best! A gift certificate is always the perfect gift because there’s no danger of picking out something you’re not sure is useful.

• Boxes & Gift Bags
• If the person you know that crochets spends a lot of  time giving hand made gifts you might want to consider giving them a supply of gift bags and boxes for packing their hand made gifts to others. These are always a welcome gift for anyone.
• Personalized Name Tags
• There are many unique name tags that you can purchase as a nice gift for someone who hand-makes a lot of items.  Simple tags that say ‘Hand Made by:” or even more personalized tags like “Made with Love by:” would be a welcome addition to a cache of supplies.

If you know someone who loves to crochet, try to keep up with the supplies they use the most frequently.  Supplies for any project are always welcome and make great gifts.  You can put together a simple and inexpensive gift basket for your friend or family member who loves to crochet with a little bit of thought and a lot of love.
