Stocking Stuffer Ideas for Creative People
Small gifts and stocking stuffer ideas for creative people, including craft supplies and projects. Ideas for tweens, teens, young adults, and adults.
Bob Ross Socks
Bob Ross is back, with happy clouds and happy trees and all the soothing painting videos you can binge. Pair Bob with the patterned sock trend and you have a winner for every creative human on your list.
Washi Tape
With metallics, solids, and patterns galore, washi tape is a go-to craft supply. It's great for planners, hanging photos, smashbooks, card-making, and more.
Diamond Painting Keychain
It's like paint by numbers, but with tiny 3D crystals. Cute enough for teens, but detailed enough for adults. Clip them to backpacks, purses, and car keys.
Embroidery Floss
Embroidery floss isn't just for cross-stitchers! They'll love making friendship bracelets in multitudes of colors to give to their besties. Pair with a how-to-make-it book for a larger gift.
Travel Watercolor Set
Watercolor paints in a take-along size. This mini watercolor kit goes along with them for whenever the creativity hits. It includes 8 colors and a tiny paintbrush for art on the go.
Themed Cookie Cutters
Cookie cutters are available in any interest your creative baker might have. Yes, they're great for cookies, but they're also perfect for cutting pie crusts, fondant, and of course, play-doh.
Small Knitting Loom
Mini knitting looms are just the right size for scarves, socks, hats, and leg warmers. Pair with a few skeins of soft yarn for an ideal gift for beginning knitters.
Silicone Cupcake Liners
These brightly colored silicone liners turn ordinary cupcakes into cute mini shaped cakes. They're perfect for bakers who want to add some easy fun to their baking, and are reusable for those who like to avoid disposable paper liners.
Paint Pouring Supplies
For beginners, a one-step paint additive like DecoArt pouring medium is the easiest way to turn acrylic paint into abstract masterpieces. Add several colors of craft acrylic paint so they can start right away.
Mini Canvases
Tiny canvases are just the right size for take-along arting. They pair well with the travel watercolors and paint pouring supplies above, and can be used for melted crayon art and little acrylic paintings.
Wood Burning Tool
Wood burning is hot again (pun totally intended). Pyrography tools come in models ranging from the simple one-setting, one-tip, basic model to kits with many interchangeable tips and carrying case. Add some wood slices or wooden spoons for a cute intro to wood burning kit.
Fabric Charm Pack
Charm packs, along with jelly rolls, layer cakes, and other pre-cut bundles are a convenient way to give a variety of coordinating fabrics. The only difference between them is the size of the pieces in the bundle. Not only are they great for quilters, but other general crafters and beginning sewists as well.
Metal Earth Models
Metal models are ideal for creative people who love fussing with details. These little sculptures come in flat sheets, and stand several inches high when completed. A set of tweezers is handy, but no other tools are needed. Plus they come in a variety of geeky themes.
Lighted Magnifier
There's nothing more frustrating than not being able to see your crafting progress. Fix the issue with a lighted magnifier that puts the focus back on the project. Great for all types of crafters.
