Where would one go to look for a beginner's kit in basket weaving/cane/reed weaving... whatever it is you'd call it.

My mom had mentioned she was interested in it as a kid, and I thought it would make a nice Christmas gift. I've tried the craft stores, I'll pop into the art stores this afternoon, I realize there are a few kits available online, but $16 shipping (+ GST + Duty + maybe brokerage fees at the border) on a $10ish dollar project just doesn't seem that cost-effective.

Anyone (or anyone's wife/mother/aunt/weird cousin that sits in the backyard and eats rocks) know anything about this?
