If you are struggling to find the perfect present for the person who has everything this season, why not give the gift of a new hobby?
Embroidery kits are a great gift idea, especially for newcomers or those who may not otherwise consider the craft. Kits that include all the materials, pattern and instructions mean they don’t have to be an expert or go sourcing materials.
Here is a range of hand embroidery kits for all embroiderers!

Happy thoughts
Emily Peacock is the queen of needlepoint and her graphic and packaging designer roots give her the upper hand when creating original needlepoint designs. The above cushion is part of her beginner recommended kid and includes high-quality crewel wool, fabric, and a needle. The backing fabric and pom-poms are not included, but that just means they can be better coordinated with the recipient’s home!
