What do I want for my birthday?

I know MN disapproves of adult birthdays, but people keep asking me what I want, and they are not appreciative of a nothing thank you, I have everything I need answer.

So I though I would ask you arts and crafts ladies if there are any gadgets I need?

I love to crochet, but wouldnt want anyone to buy me yarn etc as I like to pick my own. I have plently of storage for my stash, but would maybe like some better hooks if anyone can recommend any.

I'd love a better sewing machine for quilting, but that is way too expensive an option.

Any suggestions?

What about vouchers to put towards a sewing machine if there's nothing else you need. John Lewis or hobbycraft maybe.
Knitpro do crochet hooks but i havent used them so i can't say wether they are any good, i love their knitting needles though.

I had a Sissix Big Shot for Christmas and absolutely love it. Or what about a jelly roll or layer cake?

Ooh yes, I do have a big shot - which are your favourite dies for it?

Yarn swift?

Ball winder?

Quilting clips? I bought the small pack of ten of these, as I wasn't sure if they'd be any good - they are! I really wish I'd bought the big pack, as I use these instead of pins most of the time. I use them for much more than just quilting.

I have two of the knitpro hooks with the soft grip handles, they are very nice to use.

I have the HST and chevron shape quilting dies which are a godsend, and some other random embossing folders for paper. What I would love is some autumn leaf shapes that would cut through fabric.

Tickets to The Handmade Fair? That's what I'm getting for my birthday. Tickets include 3 workshops/shows. No good if you're not local to Hampton Court though.
