Treat that special scrapbooker in your life with these gift ideas:
Gift certificate. Purchase a gift certificate to your friend’s favorite store –
or, if your friend has a favorite line of direct sales goodies, ask her
Consultant or Scrapbooking Instructor for a gift certificate. Some Instructors
even keep wish lists for their clients.
Books! We scrapbookers spend a lot on supplies, but it’s sometimes hard to
justify purchasing scrapbooking design books and idea books. Yet books by the
pros can really propel a scrapbooker to the next artistic level. Here are my
personal favorite book buys of the year:
A
Designer’s Eye by Ali Edwards.
The Yes,
it’s a Scrapbook Series by Donna Downey,
Love Your
Handwriting by Heidi Swapp, and
The
Journaler's Handbook by Tracy White. Or send your scrapbooking friend a gift
certificate to
amazon.com
and let her pick out her own books.
Scrapbooking magazines. An annual subscription to a new scrapbooking magazine is
a treat that will continue to inspire their creative genius all the year
through. And magazines make great, inexpensive additions to gift baskets.

Film developing. Whether it’s digital images or traditional film, you can find
lots of great
packages online at the film developing sites, such as snapfish.com and
photoworks.com (If the scrapbooker on your list prefers to print the photos
herself, she could always use more ink!)
Frames for their layouts. As the scrapbooking industry booms, new products are
designed that really showcase scrapbooking as an art form. Consider a gift of
pageframes, for example, in a
variety of sizes. These are customizable and very affordable.
The more seasoned scrapbooker will enjoy a basket of
new cutting-edge embellishments. What’s hot this year? Chipboard, rub-ons,
fibers, and mini albums of all shapes and sizes.
The scrapbookers in our lives love nothing more than to give thoughtful gifts.
Enjoy finding the perfect gift for her!
