Hot take: Advent calendar gift sets and the Goldilocks approach

I 💗Advent calendars.

Every day, opening up a little gift, or a little window on an old-fashioned cardboard calendar, I take just a moment to breathe and appreciate the whirlwind holiday season.

Shop 2024 Advent Bundles

But -- I've never bought a yarn or knitting Advent set for myself before!

Here's why:

 

Advent sets that are too cold

I've seen ads on Facebook lately for a ridiculously INEXPENSIVE set.

The main elements SEEM to be there - merino wool, twisted into pretty hanks - but there are some telltale red flags.

For one, the company spelled "Advent" incorrectly... LOL

Shipped from an overseas, faceless company, and with no idea what I'm getting, I'm missing that know, like, and trust factor.

I'm not 100% convinced that I'd even receive the order.

 

Advent sets that are *too* hot

On the other hand, some indie dyers offer Advent bundles that are Pinterest perfect.

The expense makes my eyes water, though.

Am I paying for custom packaging, when what I really want is the good stuff (all the squishy yarn?)

Advent sets that are JUST RIGHT!

Make this holiday season one to remember with our over-the-top-luxurious gift bundles! This is the Advent set I'd want for myself 😊


We've chosen the highest-quality yarn for your knitting, crochet, and crafting delight.

You won't find this yarn in big box stores, and you'll recognize your fave brands:

Customizing your order

We get it -- everyone naturally gravitates toward certain parts of the rainbow when it comes to choosing yarn.

  • If you love warm sunny colors, we've got you covered.
  • Do you prefer to keep it cool? Your wish is our command!
  • Want mostly thinner yarns? Choose our "mostly sock weight" options.
  • If you love the instant gratification of thick yarns, choose "with chunky."
  • The Ultimate Holiday Celebration is a grand surprise collection, combining the best of all our products!

Here's what you get

What are these gifts you speak of?

Gift-giving is my Love Language. My favorite products to design and sell are the quarterly Knitting Kit Subscription Boxes -- because they combine a new design with all the goodies that go along with the theme.

The theme for the Advent bundles is (to paraphrase) "All things knitting, crochet, and yarn-loving goodness." If you want a sneak peek at some of the gifts we include in our Advent bundles, click here (spoiler alert!!)

 

Great, now send me one!
