Gift ideas for light industry workers

A seamstress or tailor will appreciate useful things: quality scissors, a thread set, a pretty pincushion, an organiser for notions or a fabric shop voucher. A designer will enjoy a book on fashion history. Flowers make the day bright: a soft pink mixed bouquet or a hydrangea and rose arrangement is a lovely choice for a mostly female team.
