Christmas Gift Kits
Christmas card cross stitch kits and stitched gift makes - handmade festive giving, from robins-in-apertures to ornament sets.
About our christmas gift kits
Christmas card cross stitch kits belong to a noble tradition: the handmade card that gets kept and brought out again next year while the printed ones head for the recycling. This collection covers festive giving in thread - card kits with robins, wreaths, snowmen and stars (aperture cards and envelopes included), mini ornament sets that top presents better than any bow, and small stitched gifts for teachers, neighbours and the person who has everything. The designs are deliberately quick, because December stitching happens in the margins of a busy month; most cards take an evening or two, and an ornament set spreads happily across a few weekends of autumn. Seasoned festive stitchers start in October and sail through; everyone else learns for next year. Kits include fabric, sorted threads, needle, charts and card mounts where relevant. Free UK delivery over £20, 48-hour dispatch, 100% money-back guarantee.
How long have you got?
- Cards – an evening or two each. Ordering in October makes a dozen by December comfortable rather than frantic.
- Ornaments and mini kits – roughly a weekend each, and they spread happily across autumn.
- Stockings and larger samplers – autumn projects. Started in December, these become January projects.
- Dispatch is within 48 hours, typically 2 to 3 working days to arrive, so there is still real stitching time left this year.
If you are deciding what to make for whom, the gift kits guide works through it by recipient, and our Christmas stitching timeline sets out what is still realistic from here. For something with a name on it, see personalised kits; for the wider festive range, seasonal Christmas and card kits.
Christmas Gift Kits - FAQs
When should I start Christmas cards?
October, honestly - an evening per card adds up. Stitch a card a week through autumn and December looks after itself.
Are the festive cards and envelopes included?
Yes - card kits include the aperture cards and envelopes along with everything needed to stitch the designs.
What makes a good stitched Christmas gift?
Ornaments and small hoops travel well and suit everyone; a personalised piece with a name earns the biggest reaction on the day.
Is it too late to start Christmas cross stitch in October?
No - October is comfortably early for cards and ornaments. A card is an evening or two and a mini ornament about a weekend, so a set of either is realistic from here. A large stocking or sampler is the one to be honest about: those are autumn projects and starting in December usually means finishing in January.
What is the quickest Christmas kit to stitch?
A card kit or a mini ornament. Both are small, use few shades and finish in one or two sittings, which is why they work for December stitching done in the margins of a busy month.
