We could give you many more reasons, but these 3 are enough to help you understand why a sewing kit is a fabulous gift for stitching addicts. For us, perfect gifts have two essential qualities:
- The giver enjoys it.
- The recipient enjoys it.
It's that simple. And in today's post, we're going to tell you what makes the sewing kits we prepare at Lulú Ferris meet these two conditions and why they shouldn't be missing from under your Christmas tree. Ready?
The 3 Magical Reasons to Give a Sewing Kit
No. 1: Stop Giving the Same Thing Every Year
It happens to all of us deep down… Should you surprise them and take a risk? Or play it safe by giving the usual gift? When it comes to sewing lovers, a sewing kit combines the best of both options: it surprises them while letting you play it safe.
In our store, you can find kits that are a perfect match for two clearly defined profiles:
- Sewing lovers with little ones at home: a bib kit, bandana kit, and birthday crown kit.
- Sewing and travel lovers: a travel document-holder kit.
No. 2: Don't Have Time to Package and Wrap Gifts?
I don't know about you, but I'm one of those people who leaves gift preparation until the last minute. So I end up covered in tape, with messy hair, and packages that are pretty sad-looking. But at shopping malls (which are very much like hell at Christmas) you have to stand in horrible lines to get gifts wrapped. So I repeat the same dramatic cycle every year.
But with these kits, we've put so much love into the packaging (in other words, the little package). So they're already ready to place under the tree. If you want to keep the contents a mystery, cover up the label that says what's inside, and that's it.
No. 3: Break with Traditional Gift-Giving Rules
We love to sew, but at the same time, we love to break things. Above all, we love to break rules in the name of creativity.
Do you know anyone who doesn't feel comfortable receiving gifts? Do you keep the gifts people give you in a drawer and never use them? Would you like someone to give you a gift that you can give to someone else?
They say that “gifts aren't meant to be regifted.” I don't remember whether it's because it brings bad luck or because it's considered rude. And that's the rule we want to break. Imagine someone gives you a “deconstructed” gift: a collection of fabrics, sewing materials, and instructions for putting it together. And once it's passed through your hands and you've turned it into something beautiful, unique, and different, you give it to someone you love.
Maybe we're very idealistic, but it seems to us like one of those seemingly small ideas that make the world a little better.
And now all that's left to tell you is that you can find our sewing kits at this link. You can choose the fabrics you prefer from the “Fabric option” drop-down, and if you can't find a fabric combination you like, you can even ask us for a custom one.
You can buy them online, at our store in Mataró, or take advantage of our trip to Barcelona next Sunday, December 17, and get one at our booth at the Brands We Love Market.
Wherever you find us, we're always waiting for you.
Happy sewing!
