We all have that one person who insists they don’t want gifts, don’t need anything, and would “rather you didn’t bother”. The trick is to choose something thoughtful, gentle, and meaningful - something that feels like a treat rather than an obligation. Here are 10 ideas they might actually love.
1. A tiny craft kit
Small, calming, and not overwhelming. Our growing range of Mini Matchbox Cross Stitch Kits are the perfect gift for someone who's hard to buy for! They are completely beginner-friendly, and only take about 1 hour to complete. We have an extended range of designs and slogans which are sure to put a smile on someone's face❤️ We've even got a few cheeky ones which make us all laugh at CKC HQ!
2. A hand-stitched ornament
Personal and sweet - but not clutter.
3. A cosy pair of socks
Always useful. My favourite gift to give and receive!
4. A small plant or cutting
Low pressure, high joy.
5. A giftable food item
Biscuits, hot chocolate, fancy tea.
6. A notebook for moments of reflection
7. A handmade bookmark
Especially good if they read a lot. We've got a new range coming soon... It might have something to do with cross-stitch and bookmarks... Watch this space👀
8. A candle in a simple scent
Nothing too perfumed.
9. A photo in a tiny frame
A heartfelt memory, neatly presented.
10. A donation in their name
To something that reflects their values.
Gifts don’t have to be grand - sometimes the quietest ones mean the most.💕
