Great Gift Ideas for Mothers Day

Paint from the heart and show a special Mum just how much she means to you this Mothers’ Day. There’s nothing more special than a unique present hand painted by her own children. Kids love to paint, so bring them along to our studio and let them paint a really special gift for their Mum this year (and don’t forget Grandma!).

We have lots of pottery for you to choose from, including our ever-popular “I Love Mum” and “I Love Grandma” mugs. Teapots are now back in stock, and we have a wonderful new range of vases, jugs, and nesting trays for you to choose from. Take a look at the gallery below for some inspiration:

Christmas Gift Gallery

Paint your loved ones a unique present this year, and have fun at the same time! There are lots of options for creating Christmas presents at Funky Pots, so we’ve put together a quick guide for you to help make your Christmas shopping easier this year 🙂

Handprints make exceptional gifts; ideal for grandparents, aunts and uncles, or family friends. A set of clay imprints of your baby’s hands and feet is a truly one-of-a-kind piece and will take center stage in any home. We can also create sets of siblings hand prints, or even parent and child imprints. Prices start at £38.

We can also pop your child’s handprint on one of our ceramic tree baubles! These generously sized baubles come in three sizes and start from £10. Or you could always put a Christmassy print on a plate or mug.

We also have a fun range of novelty Christmas tree ornaments for you to paint as gifts, or for decorating your own tree at home. Flat ornaments start from £5, and 3D ones from £8.50.

The Christmas fun doesn’t stop at tree ornaments – we have plenty of Christmassy pottery for you to enjoy as well as non-seasonal pottery for you to paint with your Christmas message. We have an exciting range of snowmen, Santa, and gingerbread men plates to choose from as well as snowmen mugs and tea pots.  

This year we have a new range of Christmas miniatures, perfect for stocking fillers or topping Christmas cakes. Prices start from £6.50.

To guarantee your pottery in time for Christmas, please paint your items by Sunday 18th December.
