What to get the crafty one for Christmas
It can be hard to pick a present for people for Christmas and even more so for the creative person in your life. As a crafter I know this and the problems I cause people like my poor husband when picking out presents for me, so I have done a little research and found some wonderful items.
For the little yarnbombers in your life I am loving these Pom Pom makers which are on offer for €7.49 in Smyths at the moment.
Stick, Pull and WOW! Decorate your room, stuff and style with the Pom
Pom Snap and Decorate set in 3 simple steps. The Snap & Decorate
Set, allows you to snap, create and decorate with cool Pom Poms. The set
includes; 18 plastic letter snaps so that you can create any word you
like and decorate it with Pom Poms. There are so many ways to decorate,
Pom Pom your World!
Top of my list last year was a light up crochet hook. I bought mine from a shop on Etsy but they can be readily sourced on the internet. Great for anyone working in the evenings or with dark colured wool, it helps take the strain off your eyes.
storage is always a problem for a crafter and keeping all your supplies together. I spotted this in Homestore and More and it would be a steal at €4.99 for holding, wool, needles, glue gun etc.
and for me personally I love anything that is handmade, be it a cookie, piece of jewellery or crafty.
Also I cannot stress the importance of buying locally especially this time of year. I know not all items and gifts can be sourced locally but I would encourage people to have a look around their own towns before they go online or into their cars.
My own local town is Mountmellick and it has a great selection of shops and services with something to suit everyone and suit your pocket. Check out their page:

Even when crafters are taking "a break" sometimes they need to be at something. These adult doodling books are great. There are loads of designs on offer from the Book Depository website at the moment and all with free shipping !!!
