I'm going to a crop in a couple of weeks with some friends and we are all going to bring an item for a gift bag that is $10. I am stumped as to what to bring! A couple of friends make cards only and the rest are scrappers/card makers. I was thinking about getting these Colorcase storage for bottles from scrapbook.com plus a couple of bottles of stickles, but I was also thinking about getting this general sentiment stamp plus some sort of embellishment or maybe more stickles. Which one would you like more? |

As nice a gift as it would be I wouldn’t choose organization for someone else unless you know them, their organization style, and their needs very well. I’d go with a or color medium, often used staple, or a non-themed embellishment.

If you have people who have been into paper crafting they probably have most of the basics. And styles can be different. Can you bring an online gift card to SBC or ACOT?.

What about the clear 12 x 12 paper holders from Hobby Lobby. You could use it for storage for lots of sizes of craft items. The easily slip in Kallaxes or other storage places. Maybe even put some items in there too. Perhaps put some paper in each paper holder along with a sketch and some premade embellishments from you.

I've known these ladies for 20+ years and I know they all use stickles, but they may already have something to store them. Can you bring an online gift card to SBC or ACOT?. I think I'd do this as a last resort since the dollar amount isn't huge, and they have to pay for shipping and all that. I was thinking about a Michael's gift card since we all live near a couple. What about the clear 12 x 12 paper holders from Hobby Lobby. I don't shop at Hobby Lobby but I know scrapbook.com sells something like this. |

I didn't know they still sold stickles.
What about some enamel dots, I feel like everyone generally likes them, scrappers and card makers can both use them and they are consumable so if someone doesn't like them they can use them and they are gone. Plus you maybe able to get them inexpensively on Ali Express or Temu. With the extra funds add a yummy treat or drink.

A nice black pen for journaling or drawing or just writing might be a nice option too.

I voted for the sentiment stamp.
For white elephant type gifts I've done a general sentiment stamps like you posted, a tape runner and a couple of refills, Wink of Stella pens, or a couple of glue tubes. I try to buy non-specific items or colors because I don't know what everyone has or likes.

I would give confetti (sequins without the hole in the middle). They are flat, easy to apply and gives sparkle. I'm obsessed.  I purchase them from Cartwright's Sequins - WAY more cost effective than buying from any other brand. For $10 you could get a few different colors. |

I ended up ordering the stamp set and some stickles (we all love stickles) and will add a gift card for a coffee. Thanks for all the ideas!
