What would be a good gift for a beadmaker?

[hellakewl13]

My friend make lampwork beads.

What would be a good and useful gift for her? I'd get her a gift certificate for studio or kiln time but I don't know where she goes.

Something reasonably priced [<$50...but if it's good and only $2 or $20 that works too...I just want to get some thing(s) she can use] and can be sent for through the mail.

Bonus points for links to sites where I can buy it.

Thank you for any assistance.

I like the way you think! A gift certificate to Frantz Art Glass, or any glass seller, would be super. That way she can pick out her own fave colors and COE. Or you could get her a whole new kind of glass to try. May I suggest Satake? :D

Glass? I pointed my wife towards the glasstique items on ebay as a stocking stuffer suggestion.

If she has her own setup, try to find out what supplier she uses for oxy and see if they offer gift certificates. My supplier does oddly enough.

Maybe a good lampworking book or video. You can never have too many books and videos.

Thanks all!!!

Based on your questions regarding her equipment, I don't know enough about her setup to choose myself, so it looks like a gift certificate to one of the suppliers you mentioned so she can get what she needs. And maybe a subscription.

Happy holidays..
