3. Book on needlework techniques: Help your friend expand their skills and knowledge with a book on advanced needlework techniques or specialized projects. Look for books that offer detailed instructions, inspirational patterns, and tips from expert needleworkers. This gift will provide your friend with valuable resources for their hobby and inspire them to explore new techniques.
