Wooden model kit gift ideas
Wooden model kits make great gifts for kids and adults alike. They don’t usually require gluing or painting as the pieces are pre-detailed and simply slot together. Which means much more complex kits or 3D puzzles are accessible to everyone (even those of us that lack some artistic skill!).

Metal model kit gift ideas
Like wood kits, metal models don’t usually require gluing or painting to complete the model, which makes them a little less complex. However, they do tend to be smaller models, so with more intricate metal pieces (with small tabs that need to be folded to assemble the model), a steady hand is required. But, the final models are lovely little keepsakes and a great challenge for all skill levels.
