Christmas Gift Ideas for a Scrapbooker
A scrapbooker is easy to buy Christmas presents for! They can
never have enough cardstock, patterned paper, stickers, embellishments,
idea books. You don`t even know what that is? There are lots of scrapbook
shops on and off line with staff that will help you put together a gift
that WILL be appreciated.
- Cardstock: plain heavy weight paper in an unbelievable number of colors.
The easiest is to pick up a package with a variety of colors. 12 x 12
is the most commonly used size.
- Patterned Paper: there's an unbelievable selection of fancy papers
- pick a few individuals or a package. Vellum is also popular - it's
a translucent paper - either plain or patterned.
- Stickers: think about the person's life (babies, small children,
geographic location, gardener, rural, etc) and pick a variety of stickers
that relate to their life. The choice is endless.
- Cutouts & Punchouts: Cardstock with pictures on it to cut or
punch out. Less expensive than stickers, not as large a selection but
lots of wonderful choices.
- Embellishments: fibers, shimmering sand, eyelets, brads, wire, ribbon
- every day people are coming up with new ideas for embellishments we
can add to our layouts (scrapbook pages!) There are some great embellishment
kits that contain a variety of these items in a theme: Christmas, fall,
beach, etc.
- A Do-It-Yourself Calendar: these are blank calendars that artists,
scrapbookers, crafters, or children can decorate. It's a fun project
and something they can use all year.
- Markers & Pens: Glittery, shimmery, black - they are all useful.
Adhesives: a scrapbooker can never have too much adhesive! It gets used
so quickly. Some popular ones are glue dots, foam squares, and mounting
squares.
- Albums: Of course they need albums to fill with beautifully decorated
pages. There's albums for every taste from plain to very elaborate (and
of course more money!)
- Idea Books: Choose from basic how to's, layout idea books, lettering
idea books, books that list expressions to use in layouts and cards,
or a subscription to a Scrapbooking magazine.
- There's also mugs, T-shirts, Italian Charms, and more about scrapbookers
and scrapbooking.
- If shopping for scrapbooking supplies sounds too complicated, why
not buy a gift certificate to a scrapbook supply shop? Your scrapbooker
will have fun picking out a gift.
You have no excuse - if the person you're buying a Christmas preseant
for is a scrapbooker, they're easy to buy for!
