GIFT SUGGESTIONS

To help you make the very best gift choices for your hand-crafting friends, we've put together our suggestions for Children and Adults. All of these choices can be found on this page. Scroll down to see all selections.

For Kids, ages 9 and up - The Kids Kit is the choice for Guaranteed Success. If you want to offer a few projects in one package, the Kids Sampler is the one to get. These baskets have wooden bases to introduce a young person to basket weaving without having to deal with both spokes and weavers in his/her first project.

For Students, ages 12 through Adult - The Cape Cod Blueberry Basket Kit is a good basic choice. Not too big. A first timer's 3 hour project.

For Beginner Adults - The Cape Cod Blueberry Basket Kit for a simple, inexpensive choice. Want to spend more and give 5 different basket projects in one kit? The Internet Special is the one to get. It's our most popular basket kit. Guaranteed great results. The Cherokee Double Wall Basket is another easy and fun basket for Beginners.

For Adults who have woven a basket - The Big Kit Special has 3 much larger baskets for those who are already hooked on basket weaving.

Basket Books on this page are two of our most popular and include lots of weaving projects.

For everyone - a Basket Weaver's Toolset is a handy addition.
