The Sew Ready Folding Crafting Station is perfect for folks who don’t have space for a permanent crafting area. The large work area folds down on both sides to form a compact rolling table with storage baskets. Fully extended the table is just under 59 inches long but folds down to only 12.25 inches long.
It has nine inches of adjustable height so they can have a table at the most comfortable level for them. The table is on locking casters so it’s easy to roll into position when it’s time to break out the sewing machine.
Sure, they make their incredible crafts but then they have to contend with how difficult it can actually be to properly photograph them. This LED Lighted Folding Photo Studio Box is built to create an ideal shooting environment so the end result of all their hard work is showcased properly.
The box folds up and has an opening in the front for pictures as well as a flip-up opening on top for aerial shots. There are 110 LED lights built in that are adjustable to your needs. Its reflective sides light your product evenly without distraction.
It comes with six different colored backdrops and I really appreciate that it folds down for storage.
If their crafts are bigger than this 12-inch by 12-inch box, they also have a 16-inch box.
For knitters and crocheters, keeping your yarn wrangled can be a real hassle, but you can make their lives easier with the Yarn Boss Project Bag.
Yarn is a pain to store but this bag is designed to hold several large steins. The removable divider helps keep your projects separate and the six built-in yarn-feed holes mean you can thread your yarn through and then knit or crochet without even having to open your yarn storage bag.
The outside of the bag has several pockets and zippered pouches to hold other tools like crochet hooks, stitch counters, and pattern notes. There’s a handle and long shoulder strap for carrying.
For those who work with lots of tiny supplies like beads, jewelry findings, thread, buttons, or other small items, this 44-Drawer Craft Cabinet will do wonders for their organization.
It has 44 drawers in two different sizes and it includes removable dividers (eight small and four large) so you can customize the size and shape of your drawers. Each drawer has a tab at the back that prevents the drawer from falling out. The organizer works freestanding storage and has slots in the back so it can easily be wall-mounted.
This would be great for anyone working with miniatures like dollhouses or fairy garden supplies.

It comes with 50 different colors including brilliant metallic pigments. You get five grams of each color for a total of 250 grams of mica pigment–that’s over half a pound.
This Funny Crafters’ Mug tells the truth. Getting into crafting is a great way to blow a lot of money on things that bring you joy. It’s worth it, in my opinion.
They’ll get a big kick out of this coffee cup because they know it’s true. The design is printed on both sides of the ceramic mug and the cup is microwave and dishwasher safe.
It comes in two sizes: 11 ounces and 15 ounces. You can also go with a Christmas coffee mug instead.
Even better, get them a mug press so they can sublimation print their own funny custom crafting mugs.
Their minds will be blown over the convenience of having a mini glitter vacuum right on hand as they create. This is a good pick for anyone who works with glitter, pastels, chalk, or charcoal, pigment powders, or does some light sanding. The mini vacuum is rechargeable with the included USP cord.
It’s a great combo machine for beginners to embroidering and sewing alike and is affordable to boot. The machine uses an LCD color touchscreen and user-friendly interface to make the intimidating process of embroidery easier than ever. There are 103 built-in sewing stitches and 80-built-in embroidery designs with a USB connection so they can upload their own custom designs as well.
If they’re more into larger projects, consider rug tufting gun kits so they can make their own custom rugs.
They’ll get a kick out of these Instruction Socks and you better believe they’ll expect them to work too. There’s nothing worse than getting all comfy on the couch and then realizing your yarn bag isn’t within reach.
The socks are machine-washable and work for knitters and crocheters.
Anyone who sews, quilts, or works with fabric will love these Madam Sew Heat Erasable Fabric Pens. Marking your fabric can be a struggle because you need visible lines but you also don’t want to ruin the cloth before you’ve even completed your piece.
These pens easily and clearly mark fabric with their gel-pen like ink and completely disappear when ironed. It’s magical.
The set comes with four colors of gel ink in black, white, blue, and red as well as one pen refill for each color.
Whether they’re creating candles, soaps, slimes, or beauty products, their scent can make or break a project so get them working with quality fragrances like these P&J Trading Fragrance Oil Sets.

If you want to see an expression to pure joy, buy knitters and crocheters a Set of Yarn. We can never have enough yarn. It’s just not possible. Each new texture and color of yarn opens up a world of possible projects.
This 10-skein set by Knit Picks is spun with 100 percent Peruvian wool. Each worsted weight skein is 110 yards long for a total of 1,100 yards of wool yarn in the whole set.
They have a variety of color sets. I’m featuring their deep-toned Home Decor.
Whether they’re working with yarn, sewing notions, beads, or scrapbooking supplies, this 15-Drawer Multi-Purpose Storage Cart will come in handy.
The rolling cart has five large metal drawers and 10 smaller metal drawers for organizing all their crafting supplies. The rolling casters lock for keeping the cart in place and it has a flat storage area on the top as well.
The black color helps it fit into any decor but if they’re more into colorful pieces, the set also comes in pearlized jewel tones.
This hoodie reads, “Yes I Really Do Need All This Yarn” and if they’re a knitter or crocheter–they’ve had this talk and they’d love a hoodie to stop the argument before it starts.
Listen, we need the yarn and we’re going to get the yarn. That’s how being a knitter or crocheter works. Get them a hoodie to help defend their very valid yarn hoard. They’ll love it.
But they’ll love it more if you shove a skein of yarn in the pocket.
This hoodie comes in three colors and is a unisex fit.
The candle claims to be infused with “Glitter, Hot Glue, and A Big F’n Mess,” which is pretty much what my crafting room looks like when I’m done with it–but the actual scent is of warm baking spices like cinnamon and a hint of black tea. It’s a wonderfully cozy candle.
Each candle is hand-poured in Washington state using 100 percent soy wax from soybeans grown in America.
Yarn tangles are one of the most annoying parts of knitting or crocheting, and something this Wooden Yarn Bowl works to prevent. The handmade mango-wood bowl (sized for an average skein at six inches by four inches) has a swirling slot where you can thread your yarn through. That way as you pull your yarn, it’s fed through the slot without rolling all over the place or creating tangles.
If it’s not their style, there are many different shapes and designs of yarn bowls to choose from.
The Tidy Crafts Stow-N-Go Craft Organizer is made for those who work with lots of tiny bits like jewelry findings, beads, buttons, glitter, rhinestones, and dried flowers.
It has 24 organizing containers that shut tightly to keep the contents secure and the spinning carousel holder makes it easy to find the exact container you’re looking for–all without taking up too much space on their crafting table.

If they craft with heat or iron-on transfers, up their game with this Cricut Easy Press 2 Bundle. I have done transfers with an iron and with the Cricut Easy Press 2 and I can tell you that there is absolutely no comparison–the Easy Press 2 is easy, foolproof, and delivers better results.
This bundle includes the largest Easy Press 2 at 12-inch by 10-inches as well as the matching 12-inch by 12-inch mat to protect the surfaces you’re using the heat press on. You also get six sheets of heat transfer vinyl. The Easy Press 2 comes with its own heat-resistant stand for while it’s heating up.
The press has an adjustable temperature up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and you can set a custom timer. So if you know your transfer needs 300 degrees for 30 seconds, you can set that with no guesswork. A normal clothes iron can’t do that. The press is capable of working with inkjet, vinyl, and sublimation ink transfers which normally need a larger t-shirt press.
This large size is great for anything from towels to t-shirts. The Easy Press 2 also comes with a tester project (a storage bag with a glittery Cricut logo to affix on it) so you try out the press before moving on to your own projects.
I got received a Circut Easy Press 2 as a media sample to test out last year with no guarantee I would ever review the product. It’s a great product for people who like to create their own custom shirts, hoodies, and other heat-transfer crafts.
This Lighted Crochet Hook Set is a great gift for the crocheter in your life, especially if they have hand or wrist pain. Crochet hooks are very narrow and can be difficult to grip for long periods of time.
The handle had a thick rubberized grip. To help make the work easier to see, the handle lights up with two different brightness settings. It’s rechargeable so you never have to worry about batteries.
The handle comes with nine different hook sizes and includes a tool to make changing hook sizes out easier. The set also includes stitch markers, a charging cord, and a storage case.
The people in your life who sew will deeply relate to this “It Started Out as a Harmless Hobby” T-Shirt. It starts out as a small sewing machine and a little fabric and then suddenly your sewing needs an entire room to itself.
The shirt comes in men’s and women’s cuts as well as in five different colors.
If you’re looking for an affordable gift that they’ll get a ton of use out of it, go with this Fiskars Comfort Loop Rotary Cutter. It’s cheap but once you switch from scissors to the ease of a rotary cutter, they’ll never want to go back.
A rotary cutter allows for smooth, even cutting of fabric, paper, vinyl, felt, and other crafting materials without all those jagged edges that traditional scissors can leave. You can even cut several layers at once for a more uniform result.
The cutter has a thick, ergonomic grip and the blade can be pulled up into the guard and locked in place for safety when not in use.
You need a safe mat to use this on so you don’t mess up your table so if you can, throw in this affordable cutter with a matching rotary mat or buy the two in a Fiskars bundle.
Sewing enthusiasts will appreciate how much easier this Thread Organizer Rack will make finding the thread they’re looking for.
One of the most annoying things when starting a sewing project is swearing you have a certain color thread, not finding it, buying a couple of new spools, and only then do you find the color you had all along. This rotating spool rack will make it simple to see at a glance what thread colors they have so they don’t have to worry about that. It holds 84 spools with optional slots for more pegs on top of the tower for a total of 93.
If they play around with making their own soap, they’ll love this Soap Making Mold Set. It comes with two silicone mold trays with a variety of botanical and filigree patterns and a 42-ounce rectangular silicone tray for traditional bar soap as well as a matching wooden tray to help the silicone mold keep its shape. This allows for the stability of a firm mold but with the benefits of easy-release silicone.
This large mold creates a large block of soap that can then be cut into bars with the included two soap cutters, one smooth and one patterned, and a wooden soap cutting guide. The set also comes with 60 clear plastic bags for packaging their soaps for gifting or selling.
Whether we’re working in paper, yarn, thread, or (especially) glitter–one thing all crafters have in common is that we tend to make a mess. Our supplies get everywhere and hauling out the vacuum is a real drag at the end of a good crafting session.
This is why they’ll love Roidmi’s Cordless Vacuum Cleaners. I got to test out a media sample of the Roidmi X30 Pro recently and it’s fully replaced the other vacuums in our house. It’s easier and lighter than our corded model and more effective than our wireless robot vacuum.
Cordless means you can move around freely and with so little weight you don’t get the same shoulder and back strain as with larger vacuums.
What I was most impressed with was how it handled hair. I have long hair and I have killed a vacuum before with hair wrapping around the spinning brush. Roidmi’s unique “No-Wrap Roller” design greatly reduced the amount of hair that tangled around the brush and they even provided a small tool for removing what was left in a fast and easy way.
I would happily recommend any Roidmi cordless stick vacuum to anyone and crafters need a vacuum that we don’t hate using more than most.
Crafters always need more storage so get them this Grab-N-Go Storage System by Creative Options. The crafting organizer comes with two large removable organizing trays, one smaller removable organizing tray, and a large open storage space on the top of the case.
Everything locks in place to keep your small finding contained. Each tray is fully enclosed with a locking lid so they won’t need to worry about spilling beads or jewelry clasps everywhere whether the tray is inside the case or they’ve taken it out.
As ceramics and pot throwing become more trendy, get this their own Electric Pottery Wheel to get in on the fun. It comes with everything you need to get started other than clay.
The wheel has adjustable speeds, foot pedal for hands-free operation, reversible rotation, and an eight-piece clay sculpting toolset. the removable splash pan fits around the spinning wheel and keeps clay and water from splattering for easier and faster cleanup.
If your crafter likes to work with their hands, maybe they’d love to give whittling a try with this BeaverCraft Whittling Starter Kit. It comes with two basic whittling knives, three blocks of basswood to play with, as well as three instructional videos to get them started.
Projects with small details are always easier with better light so get them this adjustable OttLite Prevention Magnifying LED Desk Lamp. As we age we need more light than we used to see so and Prevention is designed to help prevent the eye strain that occurs from working with insufficient light.
The lamp has four brightness settings, a poseable neck, and a large 2X magnifying lens in the center of the light with a 3.5X spot viewer for small work like embroidery and working with miniatures.
Step up their sewing game with the Dritz Sew You Adjustable Dress Form. It has nine soft-grip rotating wheels to adjust the shape and size of the form in 0.5-inch increments.
It’s available as either a small and medium and it’s not only adjustable by size, but in height as well so it’s great for working on while sitting down.
For the crafter with carpal tunnel, Electric Scissors can be a lifesaver when cutting fabric, paper, and cardboard. These wireless electric shears take all the wrist and finger pain out of cutting materials including leather, plastic, metal, wrapping paper, and even carpet. Plus they work must faster than manual cutting.
They’re rechargeable and have a battery life of two hours of continuous cutting. They come with two different blades–one for paper and fabric and another for cardboard and metal.

For crafters who work in epoxy resin, surprise them with this set of 155-Piece Silicone Resin Jewelry Mold Kit. It comes with easy-release silicone molds as well as tools like mixing vessels, 25 fillable pendants, 100 screw-eye pins in silver and gold tones, resin drilling tools, stirrers, and pipettes.
They’ll get a wide range of molds including gemstones, crystal points, bangle bracelets, combs, and many shapes of hanging pendants including best-friend pairs. The kit will open a wide range of projects up for them that they’ll love experimenting with.
Knitters and crocheters will be able to easily turn skeins, spools, and hanks of yarn into convenient balls with this Yarn Ball Winder. Winding yarn balls by hand takes forever, I’ve done it, and human error can make for tangling even with practice.
This ball winder turns out compact, center-feeding balls of yarn that are easier to store and less likely to get knotted. The center-feeding design allows them to unspool smoothly without needing to struggle with it.
The winder clamps onto nearly any table and is simple to use.
Lots of crafters love glitter (even if we don’t love the aftermath of glitter being everywhere) but glitter isn’t great for the environment which is why crafters will love to receive this set of Unicorn Sparkle Association’s Biodegradable Glitter.
It comes with eight 3.5gram jars of cosmetic-grade eco-friendly glitter. The set comes with pink, silver, gold, red, blue, purple, and black glitter perfect for slime, glue crafts, bath bombs, soap-making, and other crafts.

It comes with two skeins of each color for a total of 1,920 meters of thread.
I got an HP Envy media sample a few years back and it went immediately into my crafting room. I’m not sure I’ve ever been happier about a printer. I use it to print out my partner’s digital artwork, paper art templates, and print out images for iron-on transfers.
It’s user-friendly and easy to work with from your computer via a Bluetooth connection or from the color touchscreen. I love that it has borderless printing and that has changed the game of what we can print out.
People who are just getting into the beading scene will appreciate the organization and assortment of tools in this jewelry making kit. The 23-piece set includes a zippered case full of basic beading tools, 87 feet of beading wire in two different colors, and (most importantly) a beading board.
This board had curve channels which allows them to measure out and plan out their bead order first without worrying about the beads rolling away or trying to imagine how they’ll look when curved around a neck.
Beading is addictive so if they’re into beading necklaces, advance their addiction with this Beading Loom Kit. It will allow them to create intricate, professional-looking bracelets and necklaces. This is the type of craft that other people look at and say, “You made that?” with awe in their eyes and that is always incredibly satisfying.

It includes an adjustable height background stand and six double-sided backgrounds, each 27 inches by 39 inches. The sheets are laminated and water-resistant.

The book details how to gather the fur and differentiate between top and undercoats. It makes it sound like a totally un-strange thing to do. It includes projects like felted finger puppets, mittens, gloves, and embroidery accents.
If a full 3D printer is out of your budget or out of their comfort zone, they’ll have a lot of fun with a much smaller, easier 3D Printing Pen. These pens allow you to draw in 3D with different colored plastic filaments.
It works a little bit like a glue stick but instead of glue it’s colored plastic and the result is much sturdier. You can adjust the temperature and flow-rate of the pen for better control and it comes with three colors of filament to get you started.
These are the 50 best gifts for crafters to spoil crafty and knitter friends with all the supplies, goodies, and tools they need for their favorite hobbies.
