If you have someone in your life who is always picking up a new creative hobby or saying “I could make that!” when he or she sees something cool, they’re probably a crafter. Whether they love knitting, crocheting, sewing, painting, sculpting, or creating any other kind of art or craft, we’re rounded up the best gifts for all the crafty people in your life that they’re sure to appreciate.
Shopping for a crafter can be both tricky and fun. On the one hand, they might have a preference for certain brands, suppliers, or tools, particularly if they’re into a specialty craft. However, even if you don’t know what specific supplies they need for their ongoing crafts, you can always get them a craft kit that introduces them to a new DIY project. And if all else fails, you can always purchase a gift card to a craft store so they can simply pick out their own gift.
In addition to the best gifts for crafters, we’ve also got gifting inspiration for the rest of your list! Check out our guides to the best travel gifts, best friend gifts, gifts for girls, gifts for teens, gifts for mom, and gifts under $20.
