Before you wrap it

What age is it for?

The maker advises it from 14 years. Check the age warning on the pack when it arrives.

Does it need batteries or charging?

It runs on batteries that are not included: the description says which ones. Pop a pack in the stocking too.

Will it fit in a stocking?

The maker gives 23.5 × 17.5 × 22 cm (built). The whole pack is bigger than one piece, so we don't call it stocking-sized.

Will it arrive before Christmas?

Free tracked delivery takes 7 to 9 working days and Priority (£2.90) 5 to 7, counted from dispatch, which is within 24 hours on working days.

What if it's not right?

Unused, in its original packaging, within 30 days of delivery: e-mail us first. If you change your mind, the return postage is yours; if it's faulty, we pay it.If it was a gift, the refund goes to the person who paid and the recipient can ask for an exchange. Returns policy

In detail

The problem

Grown-ups who like crafts want a project that ends in something worth displaying.

Why this one

A gingerbread bakery in miniature. This DIY kit of around 250 pieces builds a little shop with a red arched door, a dessert display cabinet, a snowflake window and gingerbread figures.

LED lights make it glow inside. The maker gives about 6 hours of assembly and asks for 2 AAA batteries, which aren't included.
