If you’ve got a friend or family member who loves arts and crafts, getting them a creative gift related to their hobby is a fantastic idea. For those not into crafting it can be hard to know what to buy, though, as there are so many interesting options out there. Therefore, a craft kit can be a great choice because they come with everything that’s needed to make beautiful, artistic creations. There are plenty of varieties available, covering all different craft types and difficulty levels. Here’s some inspiration to help get you started!
Candle making kit
Candles are a lovely addition to any home, adding light, warmth, and a welcome cozy ambience. By making your own, you can choose the size and shape that suits your space, plus the colors and fragrances you want (if any). They’re also surprisingly easy to make – especially with a kit – which makes this a great choice for beginner crafters as well as more experienced ones.
Soap making kit
Similar to candle making, soap making is a craft that is very accessible to newbies. Buying people toiletries might have become a bit of a cliché, but a soap making kit adds a nice personal touch to your gift. They can be especially suitable for people with sensitive skin, as you can fully control what goes into your soap. Choose the colors, shapes and scents that best suit your friend or family member, and maybe you’ll introduce them to a new hobby!
Jewelry making kit
For your more fashion-conscious friends, try a jewelry making kit. There are an amazing variety available, covering all types of materials and skill levels. From basic bead bracelets to silver ring design and metal necklace creation, there’s something to suit everyone. Plus there’s nothing more impressive than being able to tell people that you made your jewelry yourself!
Lip balm making kit
If the person you’re buying for is into beauty, a lip balm making kit can be an interesting and thoughtful gift idea. There is a huge range of colors, scents, and flavors available to choose between, and very few ingredients are needed. The method is quick and easy too, which also makes this a great choice for those who don’t have much time to dedicate to crafting.
Lampshade making kit
For those looking to try something a little different, a lampshade making kit is a truly unique present. It’s a bit more involved than some of the other ideas on this list, so is perhaps best for more experienced crafters, but allows you to create a lampshade that perfectly matches your room’s color scheme.

Calligraphy kit
Crafting is well known to have a host of benefits, including helping you to de-stress, indulge your creative side, and boost your mental health. One of the most relaxing and meditative types of craft is calligraphy so that a calligraphy starter kit can be a fantastic gift for mindful friends. As well as ink, pen, and paper, you can get kits that come with different pen nibs and ink colors to help you truly master this ancient art form.
