Craft gift under $30?

Precision scissors or a mini glue gun kit - easy to hold, used constantly, and a clear step up from worn-out tools that have gone stiff or blunt.

They craft for hours - anything for comfort?

An electric heating pad eases a stiff back or hands during long sessions, and good storage keeps everything within easy reach so there's less getting up and down.

Gifts for a Senior Who Loves Crafting

A magnifier lamp for aging eyes, easy-grip tools, and comfort for long sessions.

A senior who crafts has the skill in spades - what helps most is making the fine work easier on the eyes and hands. The standout gift here is a good magnifier lamp that lights and enlarges the detail, sparing the eyes and the neck. Add sharp, easy-hold tools, tidy storage so nothing gets lost, and a bit of comfort for the long sessions at the table.

Each pick lists the honest catch, so you're removing a real barrier, not adding to a stash they already have plenty of.
