For you crafty parents, or for those of you gift shopping for a hobbyist this Christmas, you should check out embroidery kits.
As an enormous fan of embroidery, it's safe to say that I've been browsing high and low for kits for myself to keep my hands busy, and for friends & family who are keen to take up a crafty new pastime. Some people are SO hard to buy for at Christmas and for birthdays, so why not introduce them to the joys of embroidery? These pieces, once finished, can be framed, added to bags and clothing, and so much more - that feeling of accomplishment once a piece is finished is wonderful.
There's so many gorgeous embroidery kits out there, from fun and simple Halloween patterns, to some seriously stunning and intricate Christmas embroidery kits, and so much more - from modern skull motifs to classic nature scenes, there's an enormous choice.

Halloween-Themed Embroidery Kits
This simple embroidery pattern is also super cute, it's a great little Halloween craft project that even your kids could do as an introduction to embroidery. The design is printed straight onto the fabric, making this embroidery project super convenient for beginners.
We also love this more complex Halloween-themed embroidery pattern, it's a great project to introduce you to more intricate details like stars and shadows.
How spook-tacular is this orange Halloween spider web embroidery pattern!? We think that it would look so cool in a frame next to an arrangement of pumpkins, skulls and other cool Halloween decorative pieces.
Christmas Themed Embroidery Kit
If you're buying for a younger person who isn't new to embroidery but needs a pattern that isn't too challenging, this Christmas Tree emboidery kit could be a great stocking filler to keep them occupied over the Christmas holidays!
This beautiful and ornate beaded snowflake embroidery pattern has, without a doubt, landed in my shopping basket! It's definitely on the more complex side with the beading but with time, patience and attention, this could be a gorgeous festive embroidery project. We love how the opulent beading picks up on the light, giving the design such a magical quality.
What about this festive robin redbreast embroidery kit?! It has the wow-factor, and we really adore the different textures and layers, bringing the scene to life. We'd love to add this to some cushions to bring out each Christmas! Another great thing about this embroidery kit is that you don't need to stick to a set design, you can customise it to your heart's content.
Bee Embroidery Kits
There's no words to really articulate how cute this bees & lavender embroidery kit is - I can't wait to get started on mine. This would be such a fun embroidery project choice, why not gift it to a bee lover in your life? It also comes with the hoop included, which is always handy, and the kit is designed to be suitable for all skill levels.
This violet carpenter bee embroidery kit is stunning, playing with various embroidery techniques to create different textures, which is perfect for learning new embroidery skills. We love the tassel stitch and the chain stitch, they're really effective in giving this design a natural look.
Flower Embroidery Kits
The vivid shades in this meadow embroidery scene caught our eye and, it's very safe to say, it's on the way this week because who can resist such a gorgeous embroidery kit?! It's what we'd call 'eye candy', giving us a real dopamine fix with those stunnng colours and ornate textures. Complete with our native Red Campion, Oxeye Daisies and bumble bees, this embroidery design celebrates the best of British nature and would be a fun yet challenging embroidery kit gift for yourself or a loved one.
We really like this cool, modern embroidery design - this is inspired by the Mexican Day of the Dead, and you'll learn cross-hatching and fine lines with this kit. It's a great balance between intricate and minimalist, so you'll get to try some more ornate stitching whilst not being overly challenged.
This embroidery kit is so, so pretty. Based on a Rowandean summer apple tree, this design with beads and sequins offers a real challenge with beautiful results that can be displayed in any way of your choosing.
Our verdict...
An embroidery kit is a great gift idea for those relatives who seem to already have everything on the planet - how on earth do we buy for those people?! For those of you who just love to craft, embroidery is a great skill to take up; it's very relaxing, and the end results are just so satisfying. Now we've shown you our all-time favourite embroidery kits, the question is, which one will you get?
