19 Dec Low-Cost Gifts for Crafters
There are plenty of cost-effective gift ideas for crafters in the UK that are thoughtful while staying budget-friendly.
Choose Starter Kits for Crafters
Embroidery, cross-stitch or candle-making kits from brands like Hobbycraft are a great starter idea. They cost around £5 to £15.
You Can Buy Tools and Accessories
Knitting or crochet hooks are affordable. Precision scissors for sewing or crafting are also functional and stylish. A set of brushes for watercolour or acrylic painters costs around £3 to £10.
Yarn or Fabric Can Be Useful
Treat friends and family to yarn from UK sellers. Stunning chunky yarn from www.woolcouturecompany.com/collections/the-chunky-yarn makes a great gift.
Storage and Organisation Solutions Are Useful
Small storage boxes or thread holders from shops like Wilko or The Range make great gifts. Canvas or drawstring bags too can store in-progress projects. Gifts can be versatile and your favourite crafter will appreciate the thought.
Patterns or Craft Books Can Inspire
Downloadable patterns for knitting, crochet or sewing from websites like LoveCrafts or Etsy are budget-friendly. Craft books can often be found in The Works or second-hand stores, again costing roughly from £5 to £15.
Gift Cards Allow You to Choose Your Own
A gift card for a UK craft store like Hobbycraft, John Lewis or online shops is an ideal buy. This allows your loved one to buy what they need.
Handmade or Personalised Gifts Are Affordable
Look for affordable custom designs on sites like Redbubble or Not On The High Street. You could also create something thoughtful, like a pincushion or needle case, with your own touch. Small clip-on LED craft lights or magnifiers are affordable and practical for detailed work too. These are available from Amazon UK or The Range.
What About Some Fun Extras?
Craft-themed tape, stickers or notebooks from Paperchase or independent UK sellers or fun enamel craft pins with quotes also make chic gifts.

One-off craft subscriptions offer DIY kits for various crafts. These are fun and present an element of surprise for the special crafter in your life.
