How to choose
If you want something to wear, go for the hat or the crocheted bag. Looking for home decor? A macramé plant hanger, a tufted rug or a textured painting will fit right in. If you're after the experience more than the object, pick coffee painting, alcohol ink or painting in the dark under UV light. And if you can't decide, give a gift voucher – it's valid for every format and the recipient chooses for themselves.
