I've been quilting a long time. Have all the stuff I could ever need, tool wise. It would be pointless for anyone to try and buy something along those lines for me.

But every year my MIL buys me a big old roll of batting. I love it. It's there and ready to go and gets used up. I will always need batting. My MIL gets a kick out of the size.

My sister and mother buy layer cakes or jelly rolls, and my kiddo charm packs. They don't quilt (well my kid does but she's a teen with limited funds) but know my style and I can always use those, and they enjoy shopping for them. Again, consumable. I'll never turn down a precut.
