My gadget is a battery-powered Taylor Digital Measuring Cup and Scale Measures. It also can convert both the weight and volume for dry and liquid ingredients. It is also around $19 which works well for those that are on a budget for gift giving.
I am often asked what is the key to a great bath bomb, it’s all in the mold! Loves bath bomb molds come in different sizes and are affordable.

We R Memory Keepers®Typecast Typewriter – I think this modern version of the old-school typewriters is really neat and would be so fun to add words and journaling to projects.

The Yarnit- Crystal Clear yarn bowl resembles a hamster ball but it’s purpose is perfect. It not only allows my yarn to run free it keeps it clean too.
The OttLight I would totally recommend it as having good lighting when crafting puts less strain on your eyes and makes for good color choices.I have been using planners since 1990 for sketching, writing quotes, saving bits of memorabilia like ticket stubs and clippings from magazines and generally keeping track of my life. A planner makes a great gift especially for a creative person to combine their ideas with their life organizing in one place. Next year I will be using The Badass Planner by Susie Shubert. It had fun graphics and quotes on each page.
Another great gift idea may seem a bit unusual but I can’t tell you how much a grid ruler changed my crafting world.
I was first introduced them when I began quilting but I now use it for paper crafting and even when I am doing construction projects. Once you use a grid ruler you will never go back to a standard ruler again.
I love the needle gauge pendants from Debras Garden. They come in an array of colors and can be worn as a necklace or kept on a keychain so you can measure your knitting needles wherever you are and slyly let people know you’re a knitter. The gauge runs from US size 0 to 17 and numbers are lasered on so they can’t rub off.
