When you need a small stitching gift to put inside that special someone's Christmas stocking, it can be hard to find something cool but inexpensive. I'm starting to collect ideas here to help Santas everywhere find a tiny but fun present for stitchers in their life. Vicky suggests the Kreinik pens.

If you want to give a painted canvas, I have discovered a new site that sells unwanted stash at good prices. WARNING: I don't know anything about this site or its customer service, so this is a use-at-your-own risk proposition. If you have used their service or purchased from them, do let us know what you think in the Comments section. Or email me at chilly hollow at hotmail dot com.

Ruth Schmuff has Christmas themed project bags and snap together trays to hold supplies.

The snap trays come in other fabrics if the person you are buying for isn't that into the holiday spirit.

Speaking of BeStitched, they also have lovely scissors and laying tools.

Here's the newest needle magnet from Kelmscott--a heart in a gloved hand.
