With Valentine's Day fast approaching, the typical dinner-and-a-movie routine is being traded in for something more creative. Couples across the UK are turning to at-home craft kits for a unique and engaging way to celebrate, with one company's offerings being hailed as the 'perfect date night idea.'
Creative Kits for Every Couple
The brand Pott'd is at the forefront of this trend, offering a variety of craft bundles designed specifically for couples. For those who enjoy a cosy night in, the Date Night Paint-a-Mug kit is currently 40% off, reduced from £69 to £39. It includes custom-shaped mugs, ceramic paints, and brushes for a personalised creation.
Those seeking a broader creative experience can opt for the Date Night Home Pottery Kit, now £49 instead of £84. This bundle allows partners to make miniature figures, photo holders, and tiny bouquets, providing a screen-free activity to enjoy together.
Romantic and Playful Options
True romantics might prefer the Red Rose Candle and Clay Kit, priced at £49 (was £69). It contains materials to craft two rose-scented candles and matching vase-style holders, ideal for homeware enthusiasts or new couples.
For a more playful date, the Date Night Foam Dough Bundle offers a mess-free way to create heart-shaped succulents and mini roses for £49, down from £66. Meanwhile, families can find affordable alternatives like a pack of 10 colour-in Valentine's cards on Amazon for £3.99, or a ceramic frame painting set from Hobbycraft for £5.
What Shoppers Are Saying
Customer reviews for Pott'd kits are overwhelmingly positive. One shopper shared, "I’ve had so much fun making these with my partner!... Such an amazing experience and will definitely be buying more in the future!" Another called it a "great product" that made for an entire date weekend.
While most feedback is glowing, one user noted a minor issue with the clay drying out quickly. However, this was countered by others who found the process easy, with one couple stating, "Making the clay pieces was so much easier than I expected... Such a cute idea, I highly recommend!" Another simply called it the "perfect gift and date night idea."
As Valentine's Day nears, it seems many are finding that the path to a partner's heart might just be through a shared, creative project at home.
