Cross Stitch Advent Calendar: The Crafty Countdown You’ll Love
When it comes to advent calendars, chocolate and beauty products tend to steal the spotlight, but what if your countdown to Christmas could be creative, mindful, and packed with stitchy surprises?
That’s where the cross stitch advent calendar comes in. Perfect for beginners, seasoned stitchers, or anyone looking for a cosy, screen-free December, it’s the ultimate gift-to-self or to the crafter in your life.
What Is a Cross Stitch Advent Calendar?
Instead of sweets or skincare, each day of December brings you a new stitchy treat. From full cross stitch kits to accessories, threads, and crafty extras, it’s a way to slow down during the busiest month of the year and enjoy a little “me time” every day.
Our Innocent Bones calendar has sold out three years running because it’s not just an advent…it’s a whole stitchy experience.
What’s Included?
Every year’s calendar is a little different, but here’s what you can expect for this year's edition:
-
3 full exclusive cross stitch kits - designs you won’t find anywhere else
-
Essential accessories like embroidery scissors, needle minders, and bobbins
-
Premium threads and fabrics to expand your stash
-
Lifestyle treats to make December extra cosy
-
Custom made items not seen before any of our previous subscription boxes or kits.
It’s the perfect mix of practical and magical, all wrapped up in a festive countdown with 24 days of gifts.
Is It Value for Money?
Absolutely.
The 2025 Cross Stitch Advent Calendar is priced at £105 but contains contents worth well over £160. That’s an extra £55+ of goodies you’re essentially getting for free, and that doesn’t even include the joy of exclusive kits you can’t buy separately.
No wonder it’s sold out every year so far.
Why It’s Perfect for Beginner Stitchers
If you’re just starting your stitching journey, the advent calendar is a brilliant way to build your kit in one go:
-
You’ll get hoops, fabric, needles, and threads…everything a beginner needs.
-
The exclusive kits are designed to be accessible and fun, while still giving you something to be proud of.
-
By Christmas Eve, you’ll have a stash that sets you up for countless projects in the year ahead.
Think of it as the perfect starter pack disguised as a festive treat.
