For the person who always has a book on the go. A New Zealand cross stitch bookmark kit, small enough to finish over the holidays, a lens and screen cloth with a New Zealand design, and a perpetual birthday calendar with native birds, so they'll never forget a birthday again.

Lovely for book club friends, a grandparent who reads every evening, the teacher who's earned a quiet summer, or anyone planning to spend Boxing Day in a hammock with a good novel.

Bookmark kit: a good way for a beginner to learn counted cross stitch, and a relaxing project for an experienced stitcher. The colour chart shows every stitch, and once it's done you pull out the end threads to make a fringe.
Lens cloth: for glasses, phones and screens, and handy to keep in a bag or book.
Birthday calendar: add names over the years to build a record of everyone's birthdays.

Bookmark kit: everything needed to finish it, with a white Aida bookmark band, stranded cotton threads in each colour, a needle, and a colour chart with instructions.
Lens cloth: printed microfibre.
Birthday calendar: printed card, with artwork on each page.

Bookmark kit: one size, in a choice of native designs, from Fantail and Tūī to Pohutukawa.
Lens cloth: about 15cm x 12cm to 17cm x 12.5cm, depending on the design.
Birthday calendar: 37cm long by 15cm wide, with two months per page.
