[CHAT] Cross-Stitch Must Haves

I'm Christmas shopping and my partners mom loves cross stitch so I was wondering if I could get some must have recommendations? I was thinking of getting her something new to carry her WIPs/supplies in, she currently uses a plastic organizer pouch and a tote bag. I just don't know enough about this craft to pick something out myself. We've gotten her patterns in the past that she never does so patterns are a no go. What are some things you've gotten that you can't live without now? I'm talking about changed the game, you will rebuy a million times over if needed, can not live without anymore!! They don't have to be storage related, I just mentioned that because that's the only idea I've had so far lol. Other than the storage, she only has a tomato for her pins. She does it when she's bored, mostly on the couch watching tv. Any ideas are SO appreciated!! 🥰
