Father's Day (June 21) is approaching, and instead of the usual socks or craft beer, a creative alternative is now available at a discount. Pott'd, known for its bestselling DIY craft kits, has launched its Father's Day range, including a Paint-a-Mug Kit reduced from £49 to £39. This versatile set allows shoppers to craft a unique, customised gift in advance, while also giving fathers the opportunity to explore their artistic side.
What's Included in the Kit
Each beginner set comes with everything needed to get started: two custom-shaped mugs, paints, paint brushes, and a quick-start guide. For those seeking extra creativity, paint pens can be added for an additional £10 to perfect more detailed designs.
For families planning a full craft night, Pott'd is offering two kits for £62, down from £78, making it an excellent option for siblings or partners wanting to join in. Delivery takes up to two days, with tracked shipping available, making it a last-minute Father's Day purchase for those still searching for a thoughtful gift.
Other Options and Reviews
Beyond Pott'd, Hobbycraft offers a variety of Father's Day activities and craft supplies, including jigsaws, card-making kits, and model sets, with prices starting from 50p. Not On The High Street also provides DIY kits, such as a Paint Your Own Mug Kit (£16) with specialist porcelain paints.
The Pott'd Paint-a-Mug Kit has received positive reviews. One customer said: "We had an amazing time painting the glasses and mugs. It was so easy to do, and the quality of all the products is fantastic." Another added: "Had an amazing time on holiday painting our mugs. Excellent quality mugs and paints. Dried perfectly in the oven and were ready to use after cooling. Great fun and can't wait to try other products."
However, a mixed review noted: "The mugs are nicely made. I will say that I wish they were made with a smooth surface instead of textured." Another fan commented: "We had the best time laughing and talking while painting these mugs! 10 out of 10 for real." Someone else remarked: "Last Father's Day, I had my girls paint mugs for their father and grandfather. They had a fun afternoon of decorating, and we are going to do it again for Mother's Day."
In addition to the Paint-a-Mug Kit, Pott'd offers other options like the Create-a-Clock (£39, was £49) for making a ceramic timepiece, and the Tea & Biscuit Coaster Kit (£64, was £88) for tea-loving dads.
