Small Business Saturday/Christmas Gift Ideas

 Small Business Saturday is this weekend. After the frenzy that is Black Friday this is a fantastic way to relax, enjoy the shopping experience and support the local retailers that are the heart and soul of your communities. 

 There are lots of fun things happening at Crafty Capers to celebrate.  There is a Make & Take on Saturday from 10:30 to 12:30.  This is a drop in event so you don't need to register.  Cost is $5.00  Make sure you bring your usual craft kit including adhesives, scissors, tweezers and paper trimmer.

 There will also be some Small Business Saturday deals to be had!  These deals will be available in store and online.  They will go online at noon.  Victoria will be doing a special Facebook live on Saturday morning at 9:30 to let us know what the special deals are.  She is playing this one close to the vest! 😁

 Christmas is just a month away!  How did that happen?  If you are starting to panic a bit, don't worry, we have you covered.

 There are a lot of great ideas in the store and lots of them are on the sale table. 

 If you have someone on your list that swears they are not crafty, but they always seem a bit jealous of the fun you have creating how about the Foundations Decor Welcome sign?  They are on sale for $10.00!  We also have 3 add on sets that are on sale for $3.00 each.  That is a great multi gift for under $20.00.  They can decorate the sign and the add-ons any way they wish, whether it is paint, paper, ink, sprays or a combination of all the methods.  An added bonus is the add-ons can also be used as large, fun fridge magnets.  Talk about a gift that keeps on giving!

 For the crafter in your life that swears they are going to get organized but seem a bit overwhelmed (as I sheepishly raise my hand!) there is the Table Tidy 3 piece Caddy Set from Tonic Studios.  This set contains the main caddy that fits on the edge of your desk or table so you have more room on your work surface to create, a double pocket organizer that will clip to the end of the main caddy and a single pocket organizer that fits on the main caddy too.  The single pocket is perfect for pens, pencils, paintbrushes, stencil brushes all the things we are constantly reaching for but can't find because they have rolled away on us.  The double pocket caddy will hold your adhesives, Nuvo Drops, Liquid Pearls, Stickles all the fun things we reach for a lot more at this time of year.  The sense of calm that comes from being organized and the satisfaction we get when we finish a project in no time flat because we had everything at our fingertips is well worth $79.99.

 Or perhaps you have a crafter on your list that would like to try something new but is not sure what that is, we have the Spellbinders Wax Seal kit.  This kit has everything they need to get started on a fun new adventure.  You get the wax bead warmer, wax bead warmer spoon, gold wax beads, wax seal stamp and a silicone work mat.  Wax seals are not just for sealing envelopes anymore.  They can now become the star of the show on your cards, in your mixed media projects and in your albums and journals.  The possibilities are endless!  The starter kit is a great value at $69.99.

 These are just 3 of the fun, creative gift ideas you will find at Crafty Capers or craftycapers.com.
