What to do, what to do?

Secret Santa drawing started today at work and I got a crocheter! We have a ten dollar minimum but not a set maximum. I was thinking maybe a Brittany hook, a pattern, and the yarn with which to act upon the the pattern . . . Crocheters? Any suggestions?

what type of pattern were you thinking?

As you know, I am rather firmly ensconced in the anti-crochet camp so my first inclination would be to buy her knitting needles and a how-to book. I do, however, support the needs of others to pursue their choosen craft. I think the pattern/hook/yarn idea is excellent. Maybe a yarn that she might not normally buy for herself (depending on what you want to spend.)

I've heard some crocheters complain about how oddly balanced the Brittany crochet hooks feel. They say that they are beautiful though. I suggest asking on Ravelry what some of the crocheters think of them before buying. If she's on Ravelry check her queue and her stash for ideas, if not get her some nice sock yarn for maximum yardage and versatility.
