You can get the tools cheap and go to Michaels or a bead shop for cheap inventory. This year, I am using chain and crystals. All i need are needle-nose pliers and the materials.
Some bead shops have space and tools for you to use. That's how I learned!

My brother's mother-in-law made me some crystal beaded wine tags using this talent.
Are your parents good about scrapbooking? If not, organizing some family photos would be a nice gift. You could pick a theme like Christmas.
