This guide is for anyone shopping for a crafty friend or relative this holiday season. You will find festive kits that look great finished, a personalized option made from a photo, and small supplies that fill a stocking. We also explain how the buy 2 save 10% and buy 3 save 15% discounts work, so a few gifts cost less together, and why ordering early matters for delivery before Christmas.
Every Christmas kit ships free worldwide with a velvet canvas, AB drills and all the tools included.
Shop Christmas kitsWhy diamond painting makes a good Christmas gift
A kit is a gift that lasts past December. The person opens a box, sits down on a quiet evening and has something to work on for days or weeks. When it is finished, they have a sparkling picture to hang or give away.
Our kits are complete. Each one has a soft velvet canvas with poured glue under a clear film, printed symbols, pre-sorted 5D full drill resin drills with spares, two trays, tweezers, two pens, a 3-piece multi-placer, two pots of wax and instructions. Nothing extra has to be bought, so the recipient can start right away.
Kits also suit a wide range of people. A beginner can pick a small canvas with big color blocks. A confident crafter can take on a large scene with fine detail. Both get the same quality drills, with at least two colors of AB (iridescent) drills in every kit.
Christmas kits that make easy gifts
If you are not sure where to start, start with what other shoppers choose. These are among the best selling designs in our Christmas collection, and every one is a safe pick for someone who loves the season.
Here is how to match a design to the person.
- Christmas Village and Winter View are cozy scenes. They suit anyone who loves a warm, nostalgic look and works well as a first kit.
- Dazzling Owl in Icy Night suits nature and animal lovers, and the AB drills catch the light on the cold blue tones.
- Christmas Bells with Red Ribbon is a classic holiday subject that looks right in any living room.
- Toyland Christmas and Christmas Tree & Winter Cabin are fun picks for people who like detail and color.
Choose square drills for a crisp, smooth mosaic look, or round drills for a faster build and extra sparkle. Most designs come in both. If you are unsure, round drills are the easier choice for a first-timer. Our guide to diamond painting for beginners explains the basics in plain language if you want to read up before buying.
A personalized gift from a photo
The gift that gets the biggest reaction is usually the personal one. With our custom diamond painting kit, you send in a photo and we turn it into a full kit. Think of a family portrait, a pet, a wedding picture or a favorite place. Custom kits start from $20.95, and the product has 917 reviews averaging 4.9.
You get a free design preview before anything is printed, so you can check the result and be sure it is right. Custom kits are processed in 3 to 5 business days, a little longer than standard kits, so allow for that when you plan. If you want help choosing a good photo, read custom diamond painting explained.
A few ideas that tend to work well:
- A pet photo for a grandparent or a dog lover.
- A photo of the grandchildren for a relative who has everything.
- A holiday picture of the whole family taken in good light.
- A favorite landscape from a trip you shared.
Stocking stuffers and add-ons
Someone who already paints will love tools that make the work easier. These small items fit in a stocking or can be tucked into the box with a kit. Browse the whole diamond painting supplies collection for more.
- Applicator pen ($9.95): a comfortable, easy upgrade for anyone who places many drills.
- Essential tools kit ($15.95): a good gift for someone starting a second or third project.
- Storage box ($21.99): keeps drills and tools tidy between sessions.
- Wooden frame ($18.95): lets the person display their finished painting. Our guide on how to frame a diamond painting shows how.
A kit plus a frame is a particularly thoughtful pairing, because the recipient can hang the result as soon as it is done.
Bundles and savings
If you are buying for more than one person, the store applies two automatic discounts at checkout:
- Buy 2 kits and save 10%.
- Buy 3 kits and save 15%.
There is nothing to enter for these. They apply when the kits are in your cart. New customers can also use code 16OFF for 16% off once per customer. This makes a three kit bundle for a mother, a sister and a friend very affordable, and shipping is free worldwide with tracking on every order.
A simple way to build a bundle is to pick three kits from the Christmas collection: one cozy scene, one animal and one classic holiday subject. You can also mix in a custom kit for the person who deserves something special.
Buy 2 kits and save 10%, or buy 3 and save 15%, applied automatically at checkout.
Browse all kitsWhen to order
Order early. Orders are processed in 2 to 3 business days, and custom kits take 3 to 5 business days. After that, shipping time depends on where you live. Typical delivery is 12 to 20 days to the USA, 14 to 20 days to Canada, 14 to 25 days to the UK and 13 to 20 days to Australia.
Add processing and delivery together and you will see why waiting until the last minute is risky. Ordering early gives your kits time to arrive before Christmas, with room to spare in case of a delay. It also means you can wrap them without stress.
Which gift for which person
| Person | Good pick | Why it works |
|---|---|---|
| Beginner or first timer | A small or medium Christmas scene with round drills | Quick to place and easy to finish |
| Experienced crafter | A large detailed kit with square drills | More detail and a crisp mosaic finish |
| Relative who has everything | A custom kit from a family photo | Personal and cannot be bought elsewhere |
| Pet lover | Dog or cat design, or a custom pet portrait | Instantly recognizable and loved |
| Someone who already paints | Pen, tools kit or storage box | Practical and fits a stocking |
| Anyone finishing a kit | A wooden frame | Ready to display |
If you cannot decide, a kit with a frame is rarely wrong. If you are shopping for pet lovers, take a look at the cats and dogs collections too.
