Under €15: the PDF pattern (great last-minute)

The PDF pattern of a photo costs €14.95 and arrives by email within 24–48 hours. Send in a photo — of the recipient, a pet, or a special place — and it's converted into a complete counted cross stitch chart. Perfect for stitchers who already have floss and fabric at home, and for last-minute gifts: no shipping time needed.

Around €30: a complete kit

From €29.95 you can gift a full custom photo cross stitch kit in 20×30 cm, including fabric, pre-sorted floss, needles and instructions. Prefer a ready-made design instead of a custom photo? The pre-made designs use the same price list per size. All 22 sizes are in our complete price guide.

Around €45–50: the sweet spot for gifts

Two strong options here:

• A mini bundle (€44.95): a set of four small cross stitch kits in one theme — six themes available: cocktails, coffee, beach, botanical, world cities and the four seasons. Small projects with fast results, ideal for beginners and busy people. Browse the mini cross stitch collection or read which mini theme fits which person.
• The most popular photo size, 40×60 cm (€47.95): large enough for facial detail, the most chosen size for a custom photo kit.

€60–100: the grand gesture

For a real statement, pick a large size: 50×70 cm (€59.95), 60×80 cm (€75.95) or the largest size, 80×100 cm (€99.95). Beautiful for wedding photos or family portraits with several people — the bigger the size, the more detail in the faces. Keep in mind these are projects someone will happily work on for months.
