We're kicking off the Christmas magic early! The ultimate cross stitch Advent calendar is available to pre-order now.
It might seem to soon to be ordering an Advent calendar, but heaps of thought, time, and effort goes into each and every little box - the team at Caterpillar HQ are simply taking time to prepare, package and ship your goodies.
Limited stock available. Pre-order will remain open until mid-year, or until we sell out - whichever comes first!
December really is the most wonderful time of the year, and there is no better way to get into the spirit than by counting down to Christmas with a unique Advent calendar, opening one beautiful, useful cross stitch gift every day.
When designing this year's box I wanted to put our own little twist on predictable, boring Christmas styles! I felt inspired by fun, retro, quirky motifs - there's a Christmas llama, a pink dachshund, and even a fun, festive T-rex!
This joyful countdown will reignite the magic and nurture your inner child - we're on a mission to make Christmas time will feel just as special as it did when you were young.
Myself and the team are tremendously proud of our previous Advent boxes! Past calendars have contained 24, high-quality, useful cross stitch-related items, and stitchers across the globe rejoiced over the aesthetic, crafty contents while we opened each little door together every day in our Facebook group.
Part of what makes our Advent so special is the opportunity to share your delight and connect with new, like-minded people in our supportive cross stitch group - we love seeing the excitement over each little crafty surprise. I'm already so excited to do it again this year!
''The Advent Calendar has been fantastic from day 1 to day 24! I looked forward to every day and was never disappointed. Thanks so much to the entire CCS team for the thought and work that went into each beautiful little box. I can't wait until next December, I don't know how you're going to top this box, but I'm sure you will!"
- Sue
You'll be blown away before you even get to the crafty contents! The outer casing is a gift in itself. The decorative and reusable box is Instagram-worthy, sustainable, and can be reused again and again to store your craft supplies, jewellery, or any other bits and bobs you see fit. How will you use yours?
We've thought about every little detail. There's a fun, festive scene just waiting to be revealed, and don't forget to look for the secret Christmassy message etched on to the individual gift boxes.
Our patterns and products are always modern and beginner-friendly! There's no tricky French knots or back stitch in any of our designs, and the projects and items included in the Advent calendar are ideal for new starters.
The Advent box is fantastic for expert cross stitchers too! You'll discover new products, new brands, add variety to your stash, trial new techniques, learn new skills, and become a more confident crafter.
The 2024 Advent calendar promises to be our most spectacular box yet. This crafty Christmas countdown truly is a must-have product for anyone interested in needlecrafts!
