Craft Kits Gift Ideas

Read the guide

24 ideas from the craft kits area of The Woodshop. Nothing is sold here — pick anything up and it opens a pre-filled search at the retailer.

Start here if you don't know what tools they own. These gifts ask for a table, an evening and some patience. The whittling kit and wood-burning kit work for a beginner. A cutting-board making kit ends with something for the kitchen. The project kit is a complete build in a box, so check which tools it expects them to have. For someone experienced, the wood finishing kit and woodworking book are the safer choices. Finishes run out, and there is always another technique to read about.
