Cross Stitch Gift Guide
Looking for a gift for someone who loves needlework? A complete counted cross stitch kit by Thea Gouverneur is a gift they can start right away: every kit contains the fabric, pre-sorted DMC embroidery floss, a needle and an easy-to-follow chart. Use this guide to find the right kit, or let them choose with a gift card.
For a beginner
Choose a kit on white Aida 14 or 16 count of up to about 30 cm. The holes are easy to count and the result shows quickly. You will find all suitable kits in our cross stitch kits for beginners. Every product page shows the skill level: Beginner, Intermediate or Experienced.
For an experienced stitcher
Experienced stitchers enjoy finer fabrics and richer detail. Look for kits on linen 32 or 36 count or Jobelan, or choose one of our kits on black fabric, where the colours really stand out.
For flower and garden lovers
Flowers have been at the heart of Thea's designs since 1959. Browse flowers and gardens for bouquets, close-ups and garden scenes.
For animal lovers
Choose from birds, cats and dogs or nature and wildlife.
For a modern stitcher
Dutch Stitch Brothers is our contemporary brand. Many of its kits come with an embroidery hoop, so the finished piece is ready to hang. See the Dutch Stitch Brothers hoop kits.
For Christmas
From Santa Claus to Christmas elves: festive designs to stitch before the holidays in our Christmas cross stitch kits.
Not sure what to choose?
