    You Won't Be Sorry

    I bought this book as a gift for a friend of mine (we're in our 20s) who learned to cross stitch as a child. She completely freaked out when she unwrapped it and constantly makes reference to how much she loves it. Plus, it's funny just to look through, even if you can't sew.

    If you know someone who likes old-fashioned crafts or just funny, slightly off-kilter designs, then this book is for you and your friend(s).
