Little Crafters' Advent Calendar | £49.99 (free UK postage) | Stockist: Little Crafters Boxes

These beautifully and carefully designed DIY advent calendars offer 24 days of creative fun for children aged three to 12, with crafts including baubles, Christmas trees and festive scenes. 

You'll be able to opt for an enchanted festive theme, or a vehicle set, complete with DIY police cars, fire engines and buses, too. 

As with Little Crafters’ monthly subscription boxes, this eco-friendly wooden DIY set is solely manufactured in the UK, and includes everything needed to make the keepsakes inside. (None of the disappointment of a gift that describes itself as "designed in the UK but made in somewhere else, a personal source of irritation for those of us at That's Christmas.)

Items in the Little Crafters' Christmas Catalogue start at £4.99 to £49.99.

Creative kids in your life will love the Little Crafters’ Christmas catalogue. Why? Because it's jam-packed full of festive DIY crafts, including tree decorations (from £4.99), a fairy-light-adorned village scene (£19.99), and a wooden stocking (£12.99). 

Carefully made in the UK only using eco-friendly wood, these are perfect gifts for stocking fillers, Secret Santas or fun gifts that are thoughtfully designed to make excellent keepsakes too. 

You can go through the catalogue and make up a wonderful bundle of Festive joy to create a unique and utterly brilliant Xmas gift. 

Box A (£39.99) contains a 30cm Santa, a Christmas village with fairy lights, and a reindeer tealight ornament. While Box B (£42.99) contains tree decorations, and a wooden stocking.

Buy special handcrafted wooden gifts from Stephen Watson of Watson Woodworks

 Leah, a very good friend of That's Christmas, has asked us to promote her Dad's business and we are pleased and proud to be able to do this.

Stephen Watson, of Watson Woodworks which is based in Norfolk, handcrafts sustainable chopping boards, musical instruments and bespoke items all using carefully selected and expertly reworked reclaimed wood.

What about an Edge Grain Chopping Board? 

It's a true must-have accessory for the cooks in your life.

It's crafted with high-quality mixed hardwoods and is ideal for both preparing and serving food. 

The intricate patterning is a genuine "wow!" factor and will really make a good impact in the kitchen of the recipient and will really impress their guests.

It's smart, rectangular design and colours means it will fit in with just about any kitchen decor or style. 

The size is 46 x 30 x 3cm and it will cost £130.

Or maybe you are looking for the perfect gift for someone who is a bit of a percussionist on the quiet? (Yeah, that's almost certainly a non sequitur!) 

If so, this unique gift will certainly give them something to liven the mood a little bit. It's a gorgeous Mini Crazy Grain Shaker.

Small enough to easily fit in the hand, they are made using a combination of hard and soft woods. Each one is filled with 40 ball bearings giving a delightfully woody sound when they are shaken. A real fun stocking filler and a present that will really make a wonderful sound if the lucky recipient shakes their parcel, in the traditional way employed by people trying to work out what their Christmas present might be! 

Size is about 4cm square by 6cm tall and they'll cost £20.


If, like me, you need a bit of help when carrying cups of coffee, tea, etc into the conservatory or out into the garden, then Stephen can also help you with his amazing hexagonal serving trays.

They not only look fantastic but the raised edges really help you to get the goodies out into the garden without too much fuss!

They are carefully crafted using only high quality and very durable materials which are ideal for our eclectic (or eccentric?) British weather, being made from weather-resistant materials.

They are designed to withstand the elements, whilst at the same time adding more than a touch of elegance to your conservatory or your outdoor garden space. 

The hexagon shape will provide the recipient of this gift a look that is both unique and modern, yet without being too much, if you know what I mean. 

Looking after your pot of tea, keeping your cocktails safe, or holding your BBQ snacks in a tidy, orderly fashion  they are a genuine must have accessory for the person who loves to make the most of their garden space.

There are two designs, oak rustic or red cedar look. The red look ones are a bit smaller at about 21”.

Looking for a gift for the musically inclined? Then That's Christmas believes you have to plump for the Crazy Grain Cajon.

These amazing, handcrafted genuinely one of a kind Cajons are crafted using many different colours of hardwoods and softwoods.

They come with a fully adjustable snare system so that they'll be able to achieve a natural box sound with the snares off, and also set to a loose snare for a Jazz mode and a tight snare for a normal feel. 

There's also a clever damper system so that the snares don't rattle when the snares are set to be completely off for that natural box sound.

The cost is £230 and to see and hear Stephen demonstrating this, please have a look and a listen here:-https://www.watsonwoodworks.co.uk/musical-cajon
