I give to certain friends..I make jewlery and sew so I try to make something that they would like rather than making something just to give. If I can't make it, I purchase it from ETSY.
If I was to get a gift. I do perfer gift cards to stores I shop regulary at.
My favorite: Gift cards to the movies.

I love getting presents from Etsy. My boss always gives the best household trinkets from anthropologie. This year I'm block printing dish towels to give as gifts. Last year it was cranberry infused vodka.

My wish list is endless :) I actually don't like receiving gifts without a thought put into it. You know, gifts that you know are bough last minute just for the sake of giving you a present.

Since I'm a crafter, I like to get something hand made or home made. Baked goods from a family recipe. Hand made Jewelry or any gift from a local merchant.

This year I also would like to get a sharp pair of scissors, beautiful fabric and high-end glue gun...maybe an iPad :) as I've said....my wish list is endless.

A hole saw and a wood-burning pen.

My husband always gets me cool new tools for my studio; anything I can use in my work is always a wonderful gift for me! I especially love antique hammers and tools from etsy or vintage shops. This year I'm giving all of my friends custom made silhouette necklaces of their kids and/or pets from here: http://etsy.me/S7GviX !

Would love an assortment of Washi tape.

A self-healing cutting mat is high up on my wish list.

As I DIYer I would love portable photography lights! I have an Etsy store and am limited to taking product photos during the day and on bright days:)

#1 A Dremel !
#2 A flexible shaft to fit on #1
#3 A weekend of chauffer service to all the garage sales and Goodwills that strike my fancy( lunch at my favorite Chinese restaurant included.)
#4 A guilt-free day off to play with all these treasures
#5 Someone to catch me when I keel over in a dead faint should I receive #'s 1-4.

The perfect workbench. First it should be on a scissors lift that can be raised or lowered with a hand crank, depending on the size of the piece I'm working on. It should have a couple of drawers for storing small items, chucks, bits, etc. and a way to move power tools out of the way, perhaps bin or hooks on the side, while I'm not using them. It should be on casters so I can move it around, and be impervious to chemicals and water. Maybe have a rack on one side to get things out of the way that's also easily removable. Throw in a bottle holder and I'd be happy.

stashaswitzer- A self-healing mat with rotary cutter is on my list too! I'm learning how to sew, and a mat would be a great way to speed up all the pattern cutting!

As a beginning bookbinder, the Japanese screw punch my husband gave me for Christmas one year was the best gift ever!

I like to get art books, which I use for inspiration and to study. I usually give small paintings - last year they didn't dry in time so this year it will be watercolors!

Wow. I craft and DIY and I can't think of anything! That's so weird! I already have the basics (and then some!) so I guess I'm to the point where I'd need to have a specific project in mind to have an idea!

Storage for all my supplies. Something that's easy and portable (even in the house), but easy to tuck away.
Frames and mats in various sizes (but already made to fit in the frames) would be awesome, too.
Gift cards to Michaels and various arts/craft stores.

One day per week to devote entirely to fussing around my craft space...Maybe if I put it on the calendar it will come to be. Here's to hoping!

I'd like a DIYer to inexpensively reupholster my chair-and-a-half plus ottoman in cat-proof material. I'm pretty crafty, but not that crafty.

a table saw

I'm in love with my new Bosch drill. It has a lot of power, but it's small, compact, and the batteries charge in 30 minutes. I had a big, clunky Black & Decker before this one, and the Bosch has just as much power and weighs less than half of what the B&D did.

I'm hoping to get the matching impact driver for Christmas. Sometimes you need the impact ability to really get a screw in nice and tight.

A Kreg Jig!

Storage boxes that are clear to store craft supplies. It's astonishing how quickly they add up in cost per box. That and for someone to paint my kitchen cabinets for me.

I think a Silhouette Cameo or a Gocco would be pretty nifty!

A brand new, jumbo hoop embroidery machine with a place to keep it, and a time to use it :keep on dreaming girl:

Realistic wishes for this holiday season include new pair of long and light only-for-fabric scissors and/or new and better iron

Give this book: "How to Sharpen Pencils: A Practical & Theoretical Treatise on the Artisanal Craft of Pencil Sharpening for Writers, Artists, Contractors, Flange Turners, Anglesmiths, & Civil Servants" by David Rees, with introduction by John Hodgman.

Coupled with a collection of supplies in a handsome case, such as unsharpened pencils (Ticonderoga and Dixon are good and easy to find), an apron, safety glasses or headband magnifier, sandpaper (220 or above), a pocket knife, plastic tubing, and shatter-proof tubes and caps.

And, if this is for a serious friend to whom you desire to bare your own biases and tastes, give your favorite manual pencil sharpener. For example, the Alvin triple-hole, dual-stage magnesium pocket sharpener would set even my calloused heart aflutter.

I want one of those silhouette cameo cutting tool...

Time, that is what I wish I could have most of all, but since that is a hard one to come by the something homemade, I love to see what other people like to make.
