Craft ideas for your christmas list
- Gift Cards – Every crafter loves a gift card so they can purchase more crafting supplies. Think JoAnn Fabrics, Hobby Lobby, Michael’s, My Vinyl Direct, Amazon, or Swing Design.
I know what you’re thinking…gift cards are so impersonal.
Well, I feel the same way and would much rather give someone an actual gift to open.
So how about wrapping up a gift card with a fun organizational item? There isn’t a crafter alive that doesn’t need more storage solutions for all their crafting supplies.
Throw in some Fun Scissors, a Gluegun with Glue Sticks, or some oh-so-cute Scrapbook Paper.
Believe me, they will ALWAYS find a use for any of these fun goodies.
- Silhouette Cutting Machine – I absolutely love my Silhouette Cameo cutting machine and if you have someone on your list that loves to craft a Silhouette Cameo is a must!
They have great starter kits that include everything your loved one needs to start crafting right out of the box. Special note: this is a big-ticket item.
Budget Hint: Don’t pay full price for this! Typically on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, you can get a Silhouette Cutting Machine for a great price.
Watch Michaels, Hobby Lobby, JoAnn Fabrics, Amazon, Swing Design, and the Silhouette America site to see what they may be offering.
- Cricut Easy Press– If your crafter has a Silhouette (or another cutting machine) and is using their household iron for pressing vinyl, I’m here to help you become their hero!

This nifty little heat press is an incredible tool that takes crafting to a whole new level. Special note: this is another big-ticket item.
Budget Hint: Don’t pay full price for this either! Typically on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, you can get a Heat Press for a great price.
Watch Amazon and Swing Design for a good deal on a Cricut heat press.
- Every crafter needs a ruler, but not just any ol’ ruler will do. This is the one I grab first every single time!
- Scissors, scissors, and more scissors! I think I have about 7 pairs that I use on a regular basis.
- As I stated earlier, a Glue gun and Glue sticks are a staple that every crafter needs.
- Paints and different sized paintbrushes.
- Ribbon, ribbon and more ribbon! Head to your nearest craft store and pick up different colors and sizes.
BUDGET HINT: I usually hit up the sale bins at Michael’s to stock up on ribbon.
Silhouette Cutting Machine Users
If the crafter on your list already has a Silhouette, then there is an array of items that every cutting machine enthusiast will love.
- Silhouette School E-books – These books are a must-have for every Silhouette user!
- Cutting mats – Although I have a Silhouette cutting machine, I still prefer the Cricut brand cutting mats. They are cheaper and hold up far better than the Silhouette brand.
- Cutting Blades – A Silhouette user is always in need of new cutting blades.
- Roll Feeder – I love, love, love my roll feeder!
- Clear contact paper – Yep, Dollar General contact paper works the best and the price right!
- Magic Vinyl Remover – A must for any crafter working with Heat Transfer Vinyl! Believe me, they will thank you for this.
- Heat Press Tape – Any crafter that personalizes, hats, t-shirts, sweatshirts, blankets or just about any other type of fabric will love getting this as a Christmas gift.
