You have that special person in your life that you would like to buy something for. This person loves anything that is Indian-related so you are looking for a native American gift for your friend or family member. They are very easy to find if you know the specifics on what you are seeking. This present will be unique and very interesting and will express your affection for the recipient.

Purchase works of art such as dream catchers. They can be hung up all over one's home and mostly in the bedroom. They consist of amazing designs, and the stories and history behind them are fascinating. They can be purchased in a variety of colors, sizes, and designs. Tribe lore tells us that these dream catchers are meant to gather all of a person's dreams and trap the bad ones and the nightmares. Positive dreams are allowed to filter through and down the length of the feathers. The round hoop on this art work is a symbol of continuity and unity. You can even buy a kit for that special person so he or she will be able to make his or her own personal dream catcher.

Your recipient could be a doll collector or just a person who would like an Indian doll because she is interested in the culture. Whatever the case, this would be a lovely conversation piece, as this type of doll would not be dressed in frilly dresses and Mary Jane shoes. Rather, it would probably be wearing buckskin and moccasins with some beading. Choose a doll that may represent a particular tribe or just a general style of a doll that represents this culture.

A pair of hand-made moccasins can make wonderful casual shoes or very comfortable bedroom slippers. Choose a pair with beading or fringe for more interest and detail. Be sure to find out the correct size before you shop for these items. They are so comfortable that the recipient may be asking for more of these special shoes.

There is also a wide variety of jewelry available for purchase. Look for those items made of turquoise, pewter, old coins, and even feathers. Bead work can be especially interesting as designs of specific tribes can be worked into the craftsmanship. Choose from earrings, headbands, barrettes, bracelets, rings, chokers and necklaces.

Other bead work items that may be available could include knife sheaths, book marks, and belt buckles. The more color and design that is integrated into the piece, the more interesting it will be. Kits may also be available for these interesting items.

Soft blankets also make wonderful presents. They can be utilized in so many practical ways. Use one as a wall hanging, coverlet, throw, or extra blanket. Put one in your car for use in an emergency or when the weather is very cold.

Present any of these gifts to your special recipient and you know he or she will be very pleased with your thoughtful and creative choices. The skill and past histories of the individuals who crafted the articles will be so apparent and make these items even more precious.
