I fancy myself a crafter, so most of these items I have used myself. With that being said there are a few things that I haven’t used (like the washi tape book or that storage cabinet), but would love to have myself. *hint hint hubby*

Under $10

• Two-Temp Cordless Glue Gun–A hot glue gun is a MUST have for any crafter. Heck, everybody for that matter. I’ve even used my glue gun to hem pants. Yes, you read that right. Hem.Pants. Don’t ask.
• Mod Podge Starter Pack –Every crafter needs a little mod podge in their life, and what’s better than a starter pack that has all of the finishes?
• Plaid:Craft Martha Stewart Basic Brush Set –How about some good brushes to go along with that mod podge set.
• Stretched Canvas, 2-Pack –You can never go wrong with a blank canvas.

Under $20

• Self-Healing Cutting Mat with Grids–I use this mat all the time, whether it’s for cutting paper, fabric, or just to have a surface to craft on.
• Paint Marker Assorted Colors, 12-Pack — I’ve used these markers in a lot of my hand painted projects. For me a paint marker is much easier to control than my unstead hand, especially when it comes to letters.
• Washi Tape Crafts–This book has been on my wish list since it debuted earlier this year. I have a huge collection of Washi tape and would love to have this book on hand for some project inspiration.

 Under $50

• Weller Woodburning & Hobby Kit –I think these woodburning tools are so nifty! You can do a lot of neat crafts with it, and it’s not very expensive.
• 3 Tier Rolling Cart–Every crafter needs one of these to store their craft supplies in.
• Martha Stewart Acrylic Paint Best Selling Colors–Because a crafter can never have enough paint in their arsenal!

Under $100

• Dremel Micro with 8 Accessories–I love this handheld Dremel! It’s easy for my freakishly small hands to hang onto, and it’s a DREMEL! You can use it to do just about anything.
• SINGER Sewing Machine–If your crafter is someone who wants to learn how to sew, or is just starting out, this is a great beginner machine.
• Storage Cabinet–My current craft room is overflowing with scrapbook paper, cardstock, ribbons and other random embellishments. Having a storage cabinet like this one comes in handy to keep everything in its place.

SPLURGE

• Silhouette Cameo — Starter Bundle — I’m pretty sure that owning this machine is every DIY-er’s dream. So if you’re feeling overly generous, this is THE ultimate gift idea for the crafter.
