1. Gelly Roll Glitter Pens

What crafter wouldn't want to write (or embellish) with glitter?

2. Wintery Glitter from Martha Stewart

This might be a little big for a stocking stuffer, but any Martha Stewart glitter will do.  I'm starting to sense a theme here.  I better get off the glitter train for a moment because I know that it is not every crafter's cup of tea.

3. Fat Quarters

"Fat quarter" is a term that refers to a yard of fabric that has been cut into 1/4 sections across the crosswise grain.  So, instead of a 9" x 44" piece of fabric you get an 18" X 22" piece.  Most craft and fabric stores have fat quarters for sale for around $1.  They come rolled up or in little squares and make the perfect stocking stuffer!

4.  Ribbon

A spool or two of fun ribbon appeals to a lot of different types of crafters.  Can you ever really have enough?

5.  Adhesives

Most crafters have their favorites.  If you are stuffing a stocking for a specific crafter, go snoop and see which kind she prefers.  Having extra adhesive (or any consumable, really) is always a good thing.

BONUS:

Massage gift certificate--just saying.  I'm sure I any crafter would love one of these in their stocking.

1.  Twitter Pillow from Craftsquatch.etsy.com

This first item is perfect for any crafty geek in your life.  You can purchase one of these on Etsy for $20 but I'm sure most of my readers (at least here at this site) could make their own version for less.

2.  Wi-Fi Detector Shirt from ThinkGeek

Words can not describe how badly I want this shirt.  Actually, I want the technology on this shirt to put on one of my own.  It totally detects the wi-fi and lights up accordingly!  It's only $20.  What a bargain!

3.  A Netbook

Any little netbook would probably do!  I've linked to this one pictured that I might purchase if I was shopping for myself.  My laptop is my primary computer but can sometimes be a bit cumbersome to lug around for meetings and conferences.  A netbook is a good bridge between my iPod Touch and laptop.  I think it would make a terrific gift for me any techie.

4. Flip Video Camera

This has been one of my favorite tech purchases ever.  It is so easy to use and so versatile.  This is not only a great gift for a techie (although, they probably already have one!) but it is a great overall gift for anyone...a new parent, a teenager, a blogger, a grandparent.  You don't have to be very computer savvy to use it, either.  It's got a flip out usb and built in software.  Easy peasy.

5. Notebook Cooling Pad

Sometimes you just need to use your laptop on the couch or in your bed.  Instead of burning up your legs and your computer, a cooling pad is the way to go.  This isn't the one I have, but it looks pretty darn good and got some great reviews on Amazon.  The one I have is a bit bulky.  This one is lighter and slimmer.  That's important.

Today we've got gifts for foodies.  Enjoy!

1.  Taste of Italy gift set from Vervacious: Voyage Inspired Fancy Foods

At $50 this is a little out of range for a hostess gift (at least for me!) but if you're shopping for an adventurous chef wanna-be, this could be a great option.  Vervacious has so many different blends and gift sets (another great one is the Spanish Favorites for only $25).   They also offer subscriptions where they send out something amazing once a month.

2. Homemade Spice Rubs from ChristyNelson.net

Okay, I'm adding something I've already featured on this site.  It makes such a great gift and is so quick and easy that I couldn't leave it off the list.

3. Kuhn Rikon Paring Knife

At $10, this knife could easily fit the hostess gift bill or be a great add-on to a fun food related gift.  There are many colors to choose from and did I mention that it's NON STICK?  I'm putting this on my Christmas wishlist.

4. The Man Who Ate Everything by Jeffrey Steingarten

Is this book really over 10 years old?  I love it.  Jeffrey Steingarten is now very well known, having been a judge on Iron Chef America since it premiered.  This book is full of short articles so it is a great read over a period of time.  I own this book and find myself grabbing it when I have a few moments and just want to read a chapter or two.  I'll warn you, though.  You might want to put his second book in your shopping cart as well.

5. Omaha Steaks Tasteful Gift Combo

I do live in Nebraska, you know.  This isn't just a gift for foodies.  This is a gift for anyone that eats.  Well, anyone that eats meat.  At under $70 and free shipping, the recipient (and their family) will be enjoying this gift for months.  It is full of great food!
