I have a friend who is into making jewelry and sewing and things of that nature and from the outside I’m not sure what kinds of things fit into those style of crafts. I was wondering if there were any tools or other ideas that would make a good gift for them.

If they're an experienced knitter, this could end up being useless for them. I have to tell my relatives to not buy me art supplies as gifts because chances are, I already have something significantly better.

There are things craft people use lots of and are always in need of more. I think it would help to figure out what the person is always buying more of. Stuff like superglue, gesso, needlepoint plastic mesh (AKA "granny grating"), tracing paper, sandpaper, watercolor paper, sculpting wire, and so on are things people are constantly buying more of.
