Listen up crafters, Etsy’s craft kit deals are not to be missed this Black Friday
Don’t neglect shopping small for big deals.
Black Friday can sometimes feel like a blitz of big brand-name deals, but there are plenty of indie sellers who are offering discounts too. The benefit of shopping small means you're not only supporting small businesses, but you'll likely find some unique hidden gems along the way. My personal favourite indie treasure trove is Etsy, and these craft kits are the perfect stocking filler for the creative in your life (or even as a treat for yourself, no judgment here).
While there's a craft kit for almost every creative hobby under the sun from Japanese kintsugi to candle-making, my top pick has to be this bead embroidery kit for $74 $37 at Etsy. Not only do you get all the supplies included, but you also end up with a stunning piece of intricate artwork. (Pssst, there's currently a 50% off sale on AnnaHandmadeDIY's store).
If trad art isn't your gig, there are some record-low Black Friday drawing tablet deals already up for grabs. For more gift inspiration check out our ultimate gift guide for creatives.
