Personalised Birthday Gifts
A Note on Timing
Because the pottery needs to be glazed and fired in our kiln ensure you book your session or place your commission at least 2 weeks before the birthday to ensure it’s ready for the big celebrations!
Say "Happy Birthday" with a One-of-a-Kind Pottery Gift
Whether it’s a 1st, 18th, 21st, 40th, or a grand 80th, milestone birthdays deserve more than just a standard high-street card. At Crafty Monkey, we believe there is nothing lovelier than a beautiful, decorative piece that's been hand-painted and personalised specifically for the recipient.
A custom piece of pottery isn't just a gift; it’s a commemorative keepsake that captures a moment in time.
Birthday Gift Options
We know everyone has a different level of "craftiness," so we offer three ways to get that perfect birthday gift:
Cupcake Pots to Platters!
We have one of the largest ranges of "bisque" (unpainted pottery) around. Something to suit all ages and personalities:
-
Classic Milestones: Plates, platters, vases, and photo frames.
-
Daily Favourites: Personalised mugs, teapots, and breakfast sets.
-
Something Different: Whimsical cupcake trinket pot, money boxes, or even our popular gonks!
Whatever their hobby or style, we have a piece of pottery that will be adored for years to come.
Get The Kids to Paint!
If the gift is for a family member like Grandma, get the kids to paint a piece. There's something so special about childrens drawings and artwork!
🎂 The 1st Birthday Plate Tradition
Have you seen the 1st Birthday Plate tradition on your social feed? Trending Tiktoks and reels have brought lots of people to us to paint birthday plates, the most popular being for their baby's first birthday but other ages too.
The idea is simple:: you create a plate for your child’s first birthday. This plate then becomes a "family heirloom" that is brought out every single year for their birthday cake. It’s a fab way to create a tradition.
