If you’re using your kitchen, living-room or dining-room table to do quilting, sewing, scrapbooking or any other arts and crafts that require using a knife or other sharp-edged tool, consider saving the top of your tables with a self healing craft cutting mat. These mats take the constant brunt of sharp-edged tools and are resilient enough to not break down after repeated usage.

Kids scrapbooking kit
Cutting pictures and sticking stickers are things that some kids just love to do. If your child likes arts and crafts, a good present for them could be a scrapbooking kit. Scrapbooking is the kind of activity that encourages creativity, while at the same time providing some quiet time for you, the parent. Look for kits that include scissors, glue, and some images that can stick in the pages of their very own book.

Scrapbooking tote bag
The only thing that really makes scrapbooking totes any different than any other tote bag is that they have several extra pockets. These are useful for separating scissors and other tools from paper and fabric, helping to keep everything organized. However, if this is not too important to you you, you can use any other bag, as long as it is big enough for your scrapbooking supplies. Or, if you are handy with a sewing machine, you could add pockets to your own tote, or make an entire one from scratch.
