Most rock tumbler kits are supplied with a small jewelry kit that you can use to make a couple gift items from your first batch of tumbled stones. Keychains, pendant necklaces and other small jewelry items make great gifts.

Tumbled stones can also be used for many other things. They can be used as accents or ground cover in potted plants, glued around the edges of picture frames, used as game pieces, dressed up with eyes and antennae to make rock critters, used as vase fillers, placed in a bowl and used as a cosmetic brush holder. The accompanying images show a few of the things you can do with tumbled stones.
