Gift Ideas for Moms - Crafty Things

Raise your hands. How many of you have no idea what kind of gifts to get your moms? Whether for Mother's Day, birthdays, any occasion. Yep, my hand would have been raised, too. I was one of those people who was always at a loss for gift ideas for mom.

But, I began to realize she has a passion. It's a passion for crafting. A passion she passed on to me. Something we share. And something I can support with gifts for her.

It's become a tradition now. She looks forward to what craft supply organizer or tote bag I'll be giving her. That's for her birthday every year. Plus, I tend to choose some fun interesting things to add in to it.

Like unusual yarns for her crochet crafting, and ribbons for her to use in tying up her own handcrafted gifts. The little extra or unusual supplies that I can include in her craft supply organizers or tote bags are things she loves and uses in her crafting.

Many times, I have made her something handcrafted myself. Last year, I made an insert for a basket that she had. The basket was large and round. She never quite knew what to do with it. So she tended to leave it sit empty on a side table in her hall. The insert I made for it was something of an organizer. It had a bunch of inside pockets and two outside pockets that hung over the side.

That basket, that she never knew what to do with, became an organizer for her crafting projects. She now keeps that basket by her family room chair. It holds her current project and she loves it.

To tell you the truth, I have no idea what she put on that hall side table. But my own handcrafted gift turned into a treasured item for my mom. It was a great gift idea.

Funny Craft Totebags Perfect for Organizing

Yes, humor is an important part of my crafting world. It would be too if you could see my craft room and all the supplies I have! I have been teased about liking craft supplies more than I like crafting. That could be true. But for me, you can just never have too much yarn, fabric or beads.

But, that's also why I like my crafters tote bags so much. I start lots of projects. Most I do end up finishing eventually. For each project that I have ongoing, like my knitted or crocheted afghans or baby blankets, I keep them in separate tote bag.

There are times when I need to put those projects aside to get something else completed. Like a gift for someone or a holiday decorating item. When I come back to one of my on-going projects, all is still together. My crafters tote bag still has all the supplies and craft tools that I need to finish. Talk about convenience!

Plus, I feel like as long as I'm using crafters tote bags, why not make them funny. Humor is just too important. Especially when I have loads of unfinished projects. Keeping all those craft supplies organized and ready to continue working is great for me. After all, when you have so much yarn, fabric or beads, you gotta keep them organized.
