 You prepared gifts for everyone around you but what about yourself? Did you make your personal wishlist? Some of the gift ideas above can be a fancy addition to your crafter kit while others are useful diy tools that can improve your diy projects making them quicker to finish.

Even if you're not a seamstress you need a measuring tape. At some point of almost every diy project you'll have to measure something. Did you know there where so many cute tapes around? I bought a fancy one in London a few years ago in a shop called Octopus at Coven Garden, (is it still there by the way?).
I like it so much I would gladly gift one to a sister diyer. You can find customized measuring tapes at any prices, made of felt, with initials and even designer ones!
Another useful tool is the pin cushion, it becomes a nice gift if shaped like a cupcake.
If you like sewing your own clothes gift yourself the very good book Professional sewing techniques for designers. It is a sewing guide meant for fashion design students that covers all the topics to make a garment that will look professionaly made. You'll learn how to make seams, sew sleeves and collars, you can read it from top to end or look up a specific chapter to resolve a problem.
Show your passion for sewing wearing the pattern bag or the adorable measuring tape bracelet.
Improve your gear with the rhinestone applicator wand or the cordless (yes cordless!) glue gun.
