Fans of Pott’d kits have left positive reviews of the Date Night Home Pottery Kit, with one commenting: “I’ve had so much fun making these with my partner! We’ve already made some small trinkets and still have a lot left over. Such an amazing experience and will definitely be buying more in the future!”
Another happy customer said: “Such a great product. Well worth it! Partner and I made an entire date weekend out of it.”
It’s worth noting that one shopper expressed they’d found the activity tricky, commenting: “I bought two packs for our date night. Overall the boxes are looking very nice and feel very high quality.
“The issue I have is that the clay is drying out very fast even though I used extra water. It makes it very hard to shape it.”
Despite this, another couple were impressed with Pott’d, commenting: “I purchased this as a fun date night kit for my fiance and I and we loved it! Making the clay pieces was so much easier than I expected.
“We were able to make 4 pieces out of the clay it came with. Such a cute idea, I highly recommend!”
Meanwhile, another buyer wrote: “This was the perfect gift and date night idea. We enjoyed making various items and they turned out great!”
