Row Counter – There are several great row counter options to choose from on both websites. This is the cheapest option if you’re looking for a gift for under $5. Maybe not my top pick if you’re looking for the best option. However it certainly does the job and would make a great, small, easy stocking stuffer.

Foldable Scissors – If you don’t have the cute scissor pocket I have shared below, then the next best thing is this pair of foldable scissors. Let’s be honest, you really can’t have enough scissors because we all know we have more than one project bag filled at a time! Keep a pair in each of them. This pair of scissors is your best option if you want to bring your project on an airplane. Mine have made it through the security checkpoints every time so far!

Mesh Hanging Sweater Dryer – Double Tier – I don’t know how I cared for my sweaters before having this drying rack. I keep it hanging in my laundry room and lay my sweaters flat to dry after washing. We know that’s how we are supposed to care for them best. Why not have the tools to do it easily?

Yarn Bobbins – Last year I jumped into my very first intarsia project. To be sure, out of all the yarn bobbins I tried, these topped the list as my favorites. Not to say I didn’t like any of the others. In fact, there were a few others that came in as a close second. However, overall, these would be my first choice if I could only pick one.

Linen Notions Pouches – Without a doubt, you can never have too many notions pouches. Like I shared earlier, most of us have more than one craft bag filled at a time. Each bag needs its own organizational tools. This is a great size bag and comes in a few color options.

This is a great gift to pair with the blocking set listed further below. This is on my personal wish list for Christmas this year.

Everyday Tote Bags – I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. You can never have enough bags when it comes to yarn crafts. By all means you can argue with me, but you will not convince me otherwise. There are a few color options for this bag, but this teal is my favorite.

Magnetic Yarn Spindles – Once you get your yarn in a nice neat ball with the ball winder above, slide it on this spindle for the perfect, easy way to use. It comes in 2 colors.

Seaming Clips and Tin – You can certainly buy the seaming clips in a smaller package and without the tin for a little less money than the set pictured here. However, if you are thinking of good gift giving items then I would stick to this one. Personally this is how I would prefer to receive them. Ultimately I have found these to be the easiest tool to use when you need to sew pieces together.

della Q Standing Oh Snap Bags – Oh snap, this is a 2 for one! I honestly couldn’t think of a better way to describe it than they did: “The della Q Oh Snaps are ideal for more than making – these also make incredible bags for travel, cosmetics, spare change, and beach days. Its lightweight construction allows you to take your Oh Snap with you for crafting on the go!” Definitely a winner in the gift giving department.

Comfort Twist Knitting Mill – Another item that is on my wish list! Because I don’t currenlty own this item, I cannot give you a review of how it works. However, as a yarn lover myself who makes a lot of icords, I would absolutely love to receive this as a gift! For the purpose of putting a small plug in the middle of this entire gift guide, I want to point out that a few of my original patterns have icord drawstrings. To be sure this tool would save a lot of time in the finishing touches. Be sure to check out my Monster Pants, Elf Pants and Kitty Pants Patterns to see what I’m talking about. And then head over to Knit Picks or Crochet.com and add it to your cart!

Yarn Swift – Birch This is my favorite color of the yarn swifts and the one I personally own. There are a few other colors to choose from on both websites. Earlier in this post I shared the yarn ball winder. Coupling this item with that item would make an incredible gift set for any yarn lover! Check out the link for that gift set in the next item on the list.

Deluxe Blocking Set – Indeed this set barely makes the under $100 list, but it’s worth giving a second look. Each item in the set could have easily been listed individually to show a lower price point. However, purchased all together here as a set is the most bang for your buck. As a result, you get all the pieces you need for all your blocking needs while at the same time saving money by not purchasing each item separately. For this reason, I highly recommend the gift set.

della Q Maker’s Mini Messenger Bags – The next 3 items, including this one, are all similar gift items. Assuredly I can tell you, I would be elated to receive any one of the 3 of these bags as a gift. If I were to receive ALL 3, my year would be made! Each bag has its own unique features that make it the perfect gift. I will list them in order of smallest to largest. That is to say regarding size and price.

della Q Maker’s Midi Backpack Here is the mid size option. Once again these are items that I don’t currently own, but I would love to have. A few cool features that this bag has are the bottom is designed to sit flat on any surface and there are multiple interior and exterior pockets to hold all your notions. And probably my favorite features are the built in yarn feeder and yarn cutter! All things considered, this bag had to be designed by a fellow yarn lover.

della Q Maker’s Canvas Backpack – The Mama of them all! Sometimes you just need more room to carry more yarn! In addition to all of the same features the other bags have, this one adds a larger size and more specific spaces for your phone and personal items. The timeless style and sophisticated canvas exterior make it one of the most versatile craft bags in the market. Yes, you are going to pay a little more for this bag. But in the end, you get what you pay for. Buying a high quality bag that has multiple features almost always works out as a win in the end.
