Still Giving Socks for Father’s Day? Let’s Change That...
If you’ve ever found yourself panic-buying socks for dad for Father’s Day, Christmas or his birthday, you’re not alone. Whether it’s for your dad, grandad, partner, or brother, finding a gift that’s thoughtful, personal, and actually useful can feel like a mission.
At Crafty Monkey, we’re here to help you break free from the sock cycle with creative, personalised pottery gifts that show you care — and that he’ll actually want to use.
Top 5 Pottery Gift Ideas for Dads
1. Paint a Mug He’ll Actually Use
Most dads love a good brew — and nothing beats sipping from a mug that’s been painted just for him. Whether it’s decorated with his favourite colours, a cheeky message, or a child’s handprint, it’s a gift that’s both practical and personal.
2. Design a Plate for His Favourite Food
Know a BBQ king or pizza lover? Paint a plate that celebrates his culinary passion. You can even create a “spicy plate” for the one who likes it hotter than the rest of the family!
3. Make It Hobby-Themed
From footballers to cars, we’ve got ready-made pottery pieces that match his interests. Or go freestyle with a blank plaque for his man cave, garden shed, or games room. You can even turn a gnome into a mini footballer!
4. Add Style to His Desk
Paint a coaster, pen pot, or trinket jar to brighten up his workspace. These small but thoughtful gifts are perfect for dads who love a tidy desk or need a place to stash their bits and bobs.
5. Create a Keepsake with Handprint & Footprint Pottery
Get the kids involved or immortalise your baby's tiny footprint or handprint on pottery. From plates to plaques, we can help you turn those prints into meaningful works of art. Our “Daddy’s Little Cookie Monster” plate is still a favourite!
