5 Great Gift Ideas for the DIYer in your Life

Everyone has a friend, family member, or colleague that is particularly crafty and talented. Everything they have is homemade – from baking to furniture, infinity scarves to yard décor – so what do you buy that special person this holiday season?

I’ve compiled a list of items that you may want to consider giving that DIY’er in your life.

#1 – Combo Needle Case by Chica – $72.00

chic-a-combo-needle-case-insideKnitters will be delighted to receive this gift – a Combo Needle Case by Chica. It retails for $72, and comes padded in 11 different colors and patterns. If that’s not convincing you that this is the perfect gift, perhaps you should know that the case opens fully for ease of use, then closes completely for item security and portability. It also comes fully equipped with plenty of compartments for both circular and double point needles.

#2 – Quick Bread in a Bottle

This next gift is a DIY project for you to give to your friend, colleague, or neighbor that loves to bake, from scratch nonetheless. Combine ingredients into a jar for Quick Bread in a Bottle – there is no retail price for this gift, and you’ll likely already have all, if not most, of the ingredients in your pantry.

It’s also a great gift for your child’s teacher; just add a label and a ribbon.

#3 – Hot Glue Helpers – $19.99

Hot glue guns can make quite the mess. A crafter will appreciate this Hot Glue Helper as a gift; it may even be their best gift this season. This is a unique set of must-have tools to banish their hot glue anguish.

#5 – Project Mesh & Stencil – Prices Vary

In case you never thought of it, the project mesh and stencil is a perfect gift for someone who likes to build focal-point art, and if free hand makes them nervous – add a stencil to help their project come to life.

Most supplies can be purchased online, and if you want to purchase the whole project before completion, wood products can be bought at the local hardware store.

I think that about covers it.

Happy Holidays!
