1. Aiming for a relaxing 2026? Try a pottery kit

3. Calligraphy kits will get you away from the screens
Although technology is great at connecting us when we have to stay indoors, screens and Zoom calls have ruled our 2026. If your New Year's resolutions involve less screen time, try learning lettering calligraphy.
Fall in love with the traditional ways of writing by working with the great tools inside your calligraphy starter kit. You’ll receive brush lettering pens and ink to work with. Brush lettering is a beautiful form of art with all sorts of styles to learn. Try a calligraphy class and kit to liven up your greetings cards and use for scrapbooking to add a special touch.
4. If you’re looking for more time with nature, make a DIY terrarium
Being stuck inside so much might have you missing the outdoors. Why not bring it inside to make your house feel more natural. A glass terrarium is a great way to add a pop of green to your indoor space. They’re easy to care for and are really pretty.
With one of our live online classes, you can get your green thumbs out and learn how to make a terrarium with ease. There are loads of fantastic DIY kits and classes to help you make a wonderful pet plant. Your terrarium kit will come with the best terrarium plants, including succulents, ferns and cacti, as well as some decorations to make it fancy.
Working with plants and soil can be great for your mental wellbeing as it can increase serotonin and balance your mood. So building a terrarium could be the exact positivity boost you need for the new year.
5. Painting kits will fill your life with colour

There are so many different art classes online in all sorts of styles. You can try watercolour painting, drawing classes and resin art. If you think some liquid luck might help you with a brush, try a paint and sip at home class where you can enjoy your favourite drink to get your imagination flowing.
If you’re looking to make 2026 more exciting than last year, try some art online to inspire your creativity.
6. Try a baking set to get crafty in the kitchen
