00:09Looking for a small gift for that special crocheter in your life? I'm going to share

00:14with you a few creative, useful, and budget-friendly gifts that any crocheter would love. And it's not

00:20yarn or hooks. Let's get to it! First up, here's a heart-shaped mini measuring tape for measuring

00:28your amigurumis and projects. There are centimeters on one side, and flip it around for the inches.

00:35You can retract it with a push of a button in the middle. And this was only $1.51, so

00:43super cheap,

00:44but super useful. Here's a mini knitting scissor set. It comes with a protective case and a storage.

00:54It's only $3.39, and look how tiny it is. It has some really delightful details. The little

01:02protective case has a yarn ball in the shape of a heart. These scissors can just be brought on the

01:08go, and you can use it to snip off yarn ends or fasten off your projects. It can even be

01:15attached

01:15to a keychain, and I love that it has a little yarn ball charm at the end. Next up, I

01:22have these cute

01:23little tins. The first one here is a black magnetic needle box. I love that there's a magnet inside.

01:31It keeps your needles stuck on, and you won't have to worry about them popping out when you open up

01:38the

01:38tin. Having the window is also quite nice because you can peek at your little yarn needles inside.

01:47Now, this larger tin is also a great choice. It's a silver window tin box, and I can fit my

01:54larger

01:55yarn needles in there. As you can see, it doesn't have a magnet, but it'd be great for putting in

02:01other

02:02little accessories such as buttons, plastic safety eyes, and more. And here, I have a set of floral nail

02:11art stickers. There's actually so many different beautiful designs to choose from. They're made for

02:17nails, but I got them so I could decorate the mini tins and other crochet notions. Let's take a look

02:23at

02:23how it turned out.

02:39Last but not least, I also wanted to add that plastic safety eyes are always great to stock up on

02:45for

02:45Amigurumi makers. I got this pack of 50 16 millimeter eyes for just $179. I'm using them for my new

02:54collection of faux fur snugglers. Here's the otter that I'm designing, and it's the perfect size.
