Gift ideas for a crocheter? [View all]

Hi all,

I need to buy a gift for my friend's mother who is a crocheter, and I was hoping you might have some suggestions. I was just thinking of things she would be unlikely to buy for herself. I have seen a suggestion that luxury yarns are good. Any suggestions on exactly what type of yarns? What about accessories? Vintage crochet hooks, for example?

Any input would be appreciated
