Budgie’s Pick – Stitch and Save Together
Say hello to Budgie, Oscar’s cheeky little Gecko pal — here to help you finally treat yourself to a kit that you and your fellow Geckos have had your eye on.
Where Oscar loves to pick special release patterns, Budgie simply loves to share savings on kits that are adored by Geckos from all around the world.
Budgie will never snoop on your saved Wish Lists (he’s far too polite for that). Instead, he’s inviting you to fill in a special form to share some of your most wanted GeckoRouge cross stitch kits — the ones you’ve been dreaming of stitching, but just needed that little nudge of encouragement and excitement to finally go for it.
How It Works:
Each week, Budgie checks the form submissions.
- If any design and matching fabric size reaches at least 3 votes, the top-voted one will be selected as that week’s Budgie Pick.
- If no design reaches 3 votes, Budgie takes a little break — but he keeps a close eye on the list.
- If a design then reaches 5 votes, Budgie may make an additional early pick.
Kit Availability:
Each featured pick will be listed on the website with a limit of 7 kits per design, using the same fabric size and stitch count.
✅ If 3 or more kits are purchased, the listing stays live until the end of the week.
✅ If all 7 kits are purchased early, the listing will automatically end.
🔁 If fewer than 3 are purchased, the listing will remain open until that minimum is reached - and will then disappear.
Budgie Savings:
Budgie Kits are made to order in small batches, so they’ll be shipped once the orders are in. As the team can save time making them together and only providing the essentials, the cost savings can be shared with you,
Please remember: if ordered alongside other kits, please allow a little extra time while they are being prepared, or in some cases for the Budgie listing to complete.
What’s in a Budgie Kit:
Each Budgie Kit is a budget-friendly bundle, but includes all the essentials to create the same great project you'd expect from a GeckoRouge cross stitch art kit — with its own unique quality and charm:
-
🧵 Pre-organised DMC threads and fabric with a 5–6 inch border included
-
🧲 A special randomly selected Budgie-themed 38mm needle minder
-
📄 PDF pattern – ready to use with your favourite cross stitch PDF reader or print at home.
-
🍬 Threads carefully packed in one of our famous red and white candy bags, placed inside a Budgie red gift bag
-
🖼️ A full-colour adhesive cover placed on the front of each gift bag and sealed with a sticker.
Please note:
As Budgie Kits are specially priced and come with exclusive packaging and perks, other offers or discounts can’t be applied, but Gift Cards can be used.
