1. Yarn! A yarn lover and crocheter can NEVER have a enough yarn no matter how big their stash is!
2. Gift Card to a local yarn shop or craft store. You can't go wrong with a gift card. Let your yarn lover choose their own yarn and crafty accessories.
3. The Knit Kit. I personally purchased one of these and I think it so clever and handy! All the tools you need for crocheting on the go! And it is TSA compliant! You can purchase one HERE: The Knit Kit - 9 Essential Knitting Tools in a Travel Pack.
4. Yarn Drum. This lightweight tote holds up to eight standard sized skeins of yarn. Yarn in use can easily be removed from tote through lid. Textured PVC base keeps contents dry on wet surfaces. Tote can be carried three ways: easy grip handle or shoulder strap to carry horizontally or vertically. Accessory pouch stores small supplies and the mesh pocket is perfect for patterns and books. You can purchase one HERE: ArtBin Yarn Drum 12-inches round by 12-3/4-inches high, Pink

Clay Hooks are also popular among crocheters. You can buy cute and custom clay hooks from a variety of different online shops. The Lemonade Shop is one of my favorites!

8. Yarn Ball Winder. This is another accessory every crocheter should invest in at some point. So why not give them the gift of perfectly wound balls of yarn?! I own the Stanwood Needlecraft Large Metal Yarn/Fiber/Wool/String Ball Winder, 10-Ounce and love it! Very easy to use!

It can be hung by a ribbon or chain around your neck or from a pin or used as is. You can purchase it HERE: Clover Yarn Cutter Pendant, Antique Silver.
10. Crochet Journal or Notebook. A crocheter always has a long list of ideas a project to-do list. And if you are a pattern designer, you will need a place to jot down all of your chicken scratch! I recently purchased this "Eat. Sleep. Crochet Notebook" although I think it should say "Crochet. Eat. Sleep." in that order :) You can purchase it HERE: CafePress Eat Sleep Crochet Journal - Standard Lined.
11. T-shirts. Similar to the canvas tote bags, you can purchase T-shirts with fun crochet quotes and sayings.
