Question Christmas Gift Idea for SU Demonstrator

I am an SU Demonstrator but so is my Aunt who is my upline. Every year I struggle with what to get her since I don't know what supplies she has. I used to get her gift certificates from the demonstrator we both used to buy from, but that doesn't work now that she is a demonstrator.

So I was wondering if anyone is in the same predicament as me and has a suggestion of what to give her for Christmas? :confused:

Thanks!!!

Um....new card and crafting techniques she hasn't seen before? I usually give my sis-in-law an extra card or project that she'd want to know how to make, because she has more tools and stamps than I do.

What about some Whisper White card stock, you can always use that especially if she holds work shops or classes. Maybe some ribbon, same reason. Does she have MDS??

I purchased this card making - drying - display rack on ebay.
It's simple but it's been really useful to me.

My Best Friend was also my SU Demo for years...I would always look for some little organizer, a cute holder or decorative container she could use with her SU products...One year I gave here a dauber box and she went crazy over it!

I think you could pick out your favorite designer paper, ruffled ribbon, dazzling details and pretty brads. She'd have tons of fun playing with some things she didn't have to buy. I'm a demo and it would make me happy! Or get a variety of vintage and glimmer brads. I think that getting any consumable supplies would be fun to receive even though my room is full.

Get her some of the glimmer brads and ribbon that is on sale right now. Or how about a ribbon storage rack.

You could always ask her for a wish list as well. I really like wishlists because my dad and step mom just always buy me random things for gifts even after I've given them a list and they waste their money on things I will not use/wear or whatever. (Not that I'm not grateful but it's a complicated relationship and I'm a believer of getting people things they want as to not waste money...for instance I've told them I wear a small a million times and they always buy t-shirts on vacation and I always end up with a large...I can NOT wear a large but they don't listen/care I guess).

I always ask my family/friends for a list so I know what they need/can use!

What about a nice tote bag? A fun calculator to take on her parties/events (my demo has a HUGE one, it's super fun and a good conversation piece). A pen charm that you make or scissor charm might be fun, too. What about some basics like refills for Snail adhesives, demos always need those. In fact....adhesives in general would be nice! I'll see if anything else comes to mind.

Does she like magazines? Another option would be a papercrafting or stamping magazine subscription so she can get new ideas and just relax and read throughout the year. Magazines are a favorite indulgence for me. Or perhaps a technique book or "special edition" with crafting ideas that some of the magazines publish. You could throw a subscription or a book into a nice little gift package with some other items. I agree with PedalPower that adhesives are always good if you know what kind she prefers.

Thanks again for all of the suggestions! I orderd the card dryer/display and the dauber box and made labels for all the colors and ordered her some daubers to fill it. I will also give her some DSP I know she doesn't have. Thanks again for all of the suggestions! You all were a HUGE help!
