Swap the usual gifts for something more personal this year
Father’s Day (June 21) is fast approaching, and while the usual socks and bottle of craft beer might be tempting, we’ve found a sweeter way to get creative with the father figure in your life. And even better, it’s currently on sale.
Pott’d, known for its bestselling DIY craft kits, has unveiled its Father’s Day range, including a Paint-a-Mug Kit (£39, was £49). The versatile set lets shoppers get crafty beforehand to present a unique, customised gift on the big day, while also giving dads the chance to unleash their artistic side.
Each beginner set comes with everything needed to get started, including two custom-shaped mugs, paints, paint brushes and a quick-start guide. For those wanting to get extra creative, shoppers can also add paint pens for an additional £10 to help perfect more detailed designs.
And for families planning a full craft night, Pott’d is also offering two kits for £62, reduced from £78, making it a great option for siblings or partners wanting to join in on the fun. Better still, delivery takes up to two days, and tracked shipping is available, making it an ideal last-minute Father’s Day buy for anyone still searching for a thoughtful gift.

This limited edition kit includes everything shoppers need to design and paint two one-of-a-kind mugs.
Otherwise, Not On The High Street also offers some DIY kits. This Paint Your Own Mug Kit (£16) contains everything needed to decorate a mug, including specialist porcelain paints.
Back to Pott’d, the Paint-a-Mug Kit has racked up some great reviews from happy shoppers. This person enthused: “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.”
Meanwhile, a second customer piped up: “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, this mixed review reads: “The mugs are nicely made. I will say that I wish they were made with a smooth surface instead of textured.”
On a brighter note, this Pott’d fan said: “We had the best time laughing and talking while painting these mugs! She also loves painting, but hasn’t done it as much lately, so it was fun to get her back into it with these mugs! 10 out of 10 for real.”
And 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 lots of other fun options. That includes a Create-a-Clock (£39, was £49), which allows user to make their very own ceramic timepiece, and the Tea & Biscuit Coaster Kit (£64, was £88) for the dad who loves a brew.
