Check out our gift buying guide*
A Debutant - a beginner knitter or crocheter. They need a lovely yarn, nice needles and a beginners project. Perhaps a 'How To' book too!
1. Super chunky striping yarn... works up quickly and the exciting colour combos keeps you motivated!
2. A Learn to Knit book for when the internet's not (gasp!) available
3. Some beginner projects using Rico Melange Chunky - free patterns in shop!
4. A Learn to Crochet kit - all they need to learn the basics and make a handy cloth... comes with a handmade soap too!
5. Some gorgeous DK yarn - lots of colour combos and would make a great stash builder!
6. Notions... essential equipment... lots in the shop!
The Dabblers - they've got the basics and like to have a project when the notion takes them... likely a winter or holiday crafter... they maybe like to try something different with each new project.

*Disclaimer! This gift guide is not based on any formal research and is far from definitive! It was in fact difficult to compile... it really isn't possible to categorise knitter/crafters... we're all beginners really! If in doubt talk your crafting friend, find out what they would like... or get them a voucher!
