One of the comments I received on my blog was from a gentleman looking for Christmas ideas for his wife who loves to scrapbook. As a scrapper, I’ve heard others who don’t know much about the craft comment on how difficult it is to know what to purchase for those of us who are addicted to the craft. So I thought I’d help out with that.

First of all, no scrapbooker can ever have enough photo albums. We don’t care about size or color or anything like that, we need photo albums. The only criteria is that the pages of the photo albums not be divided into sections. Regardless of the size, we just want the full page available to us for scrapbooking. So a perfect gift is photo albums. You can buy big ones or little ones or a combination of sizes to encourage the addiction in the scrapper in your life.

Another thing we never have enough of is embellishments. That’s a category that can intimidate many but really it’s simple. We don’t know what we need until we have it, so if you’re thinking about a unique gift for your scrapper, fill a box with embellishments. You can do it on the cheap, too, by hitting the discount sections and buying off season stuff for pennies. We don’t care if we get Independence Day stickers in December, we will love it. So grab all the stuff that’s discounted and toss it in a gift bag for a high impact gift on a budget.

One of the things I’m constantly needing are paper cutters. To trim completed pages to size, to trim photos or ribbons, to make cards and envelopes, I’m always needing new paper cutters. Different sizes, different styles, they’ll all be a big hit!

So are you getting the idea? Go to the scrapbooking section of your local craft store and pretty much anything you pick up is going to be a huge hit. We love it all, we want it all and we’ll use it all! So shop happy and have fun.

God Bless,
