If you can't think of what to get the crafters in your life, consider giving a gift card to a local supplier so they can take a class! There are so many reasons to take a class beyond learning formulas. You get to spend time with people who love this craft as much as you do and you get to talk about it for hours with them! You'll learn tips and tricks that can only come from experience, and work together to make something awesome. And you have a whole store full of interesting ingredients you can try without having to buy! 
I love teaching classes as it gives me a chance to connect with people who are passionate about making products and learn more about what interests them. I always learn something new in every class - a technique, a fragrance or essential oil blend, an oil and butter combination - and I always come home recharged from spending time talking about something I love so much!
If you're interested in classes with me, I teach at Voyageur Soap & Candle in Surrey, B.C., and Windy Point Soap in Calgary, Alberta. I'm afraid we don't have any dates yet, but I should have them soon!
