Introducing the 2025 Advent Calendar Box!

January 20, 2024

Introducing the 2025 Advent Calendar Box!

We're kicking off the Christmas magic early! The ultimate cross stitch Advent Calendar is available to pre-order now.

It might seem to soon to be ordering an Advent calendar, but heaps of thought, time, and effort goes into each and every little box - the team at Caterpillar HQ are simply taking time to prepare, package and ship your goodies.

Limited stock available. Pre-order will remain open until mid-year, or until we sell out - whichever comes first! 

CRAFT ADVENT CALENDAR 2025

December really is the most wonderful time of the year, and there is no better way to get into the spirit than by counting down to Christmas with a unique Advent calendar, opening one beautiful, useful cross stitch gift every day. 

This joyful countdown will reignite the magic and nurture your inner child -  we're on a mission to make Christmas time will feel just as special as it did when you were young. 

Myself and the team are tremendously proud of our previous Advent boxes! Past calendars have contained 24, high-quality, useful cross stitch-related items, and stitchers across the globe rejoiced over the aesthetic, crafty contents while we opened each little door together every day in our Facebook group. 

Part of what makes our Advent so special is the opportunity to share your delight and connect with new, like-minded people in our supportive cross stitch group - we love seeing the excitement over each little crafty surprise. I'm already so excited to do it again this year!

Enhance your Advent experience with the Finishing Pack

For those looking to add an extra touch of magic to their Advent experience, you can opt for the optional Finishing Pack (worth over £55 RRP) at a 34% discount. This exclusive upgrade includes:

  • A limited edition 'Frosty Woodland' A4 Project Bag featuring a design that perfectly matches the Advent calendar.
  • 3 x 6" Elbesee embroidery hoops – ideal for framing your completed calendar projects.
  • 3 x Birch plywood 6" hoop backs with custom etching to match the calendar project names, giving your finished pieces a polished and professional look.
  • A mystery printed A4 colour pattern (celebration themed) to continue the creative fun even after Advent.

''The Advent Calendar has been fantastic from day 1 to day 24! I looked forward to every day and was never disappointed. Thanks so much to the entire CCS team for the thought and work that went into each beautiful little box. I can't wait until next December, I don't know how you're going to top this box, but I'm sure you will!" - Sue

A UNIQUE SURPRISE FOR CRAFT LOVERS

You'll be blown away before you even get to the crafty contents! The outer casing is a gift in itself. The decorative and reusable box is Instagram-worthy, sustainable, and can be reused again and again to store your craft supplies, jewellery, or any other bits and bobs you see fit. How will you use yours? 

We've thought about every little detail. There's a fun, festive scene just waiting to be revealed, and don't forget to look for the secret Christmassy message etched on to the individual gift boxes. 

Our patterns and products are always modern and beginner-friendly! There's no tricky French knots or back stitch in any of our designs, and the projects and items included in the Advent calendar are ideal for new starters. 

The Advent box is fantastic for expert cross stitchers too! You'll discover new products, new brands, add variety to your stash, trial new techniques, learn new skills, and become a more confident crafter. 

The 2025 Advent calendar promises to be our most spectacular box yet. This crafty Christmas countdown truly is a must-have product for anyone interested in needlecrafts! 

"This is the first time I’ve had a CCS Advent calendar, I’ve had a lot of fun opening each box. I’ll definitely be purchasing again next year." - Jessica

We like to keep the specific contents of each box a surprise until opening day, however, stitchers can expect to be delighted by 3 brand NEW patterns designed by Sally Wilson, exclusive needle minders, Zweigart fabric, DMC floss, needles, and more high-quality, useful goodies. Secure yours today and relax knowing your crafty Christmas treat is being prepared! 

Boxes will be from September, allowing heaps of time for International shipping and ensuring your treats arrive before the most wonderful time of the year. 

If you're looking for a Christmas or birthday gift for the craft enthusiast in your life, look no further. The 2025 Advent calendar is fun, festive and contains exciting treats they're guaranteed to already have on their wish list. They will absolutely adore this thoughtful present.

You could also forward this link to someone as a subtle Christmas or birthday present hint! Once it arrives, all you have to do is wait until 1st December for the first big reveal - no peeping allowed! The value for money is absolutely fantastic! All of the little items inside + the beautiful, reusable outer casing add up to a lot more than the price of the Advent calendar. 

Treat yourself or a loved one this Christmas with our amazing Advent calendars, or you can  surprise them with the joy of crafting with thoughtfully curated subscription boxes that offer a delightful surprise bi-monthly!

We've been working super hard to ensure this years is accessible to everyone - purchase monthly or weekly (whatever works best for you!) Caterpillar Cross Stitch e-vouchers and save up for your 2025 Advent box. 

Alternatively, register for a PayPal account for a 'Pay in 3' option at checkout. 

This gorgeous, affordable luxury is an extra special treat - you deserve to wake up every day in December feeling spoilt.
