Collection: DIY Miniature House Kits

Six laser-cut wooden kits that arrive flat and leave you with a small building. Expect a weekend rather than an evening — the two-storey garden villa and the rooftop-garden house both run long, and the undersea scene has more small parts than its size suggests.

One of them doubles as a book stand, which is the sort of detail that makes it a good gift for someone who reads.

No previous model-making experience required, though a steady hand and decent light both help. From €64.
