1. A set of enamel pins for the crafter who really does it all. (Or split 'em up if you have multiple crafty friends!)
2. A set of 78 gradient, iron-on letters for personalizing anything and everything.
Buy 'em from We Are Knitters for $51 for the snood set, and $56 for the recycled-t-shirt-yarn pillow kit.
(Insider tip, you get $12 off your first order when you sign up for their emails. Plus, as soon as your friend knows how to knit, you'll be the beneficiary of so many knitted goods — it really is the gift that keeps on giving)
