I have to admit, I'm a bit of a fan of the Pott'd range. I've had a set before (a date night ed) and enjoyed it so much that I thought I'd give this one a bash. This set is perfect for me as you get to make candles, which I love doing anyway, and can choose from some quirky pot designs. Everything you need is included here, so there is no need to purchase anything extra; it even has some deliciously smelling fragrance oil to make your candles smell nice when you light them. Another nice touch is that you can personalise the pots using the stamps to make words or emojis. This would be perfect for kids or adults to make meaningful gifts for friends, family, or even nice teachers' end-of-term gifts.Don't worry if you are new to arts and crafts (I was when I got my first kit), as there are step-by-step instructions included to guide you through.This is a set that is great fun to use, and if you have never tried it before, give it a go. I'm pretty sure you won't be left disappointed. 5/5

This kit is so much fun! I think it's a great activity that anyone can enjoy! It makes a wonderful gift, especially since you get so much use out of it. There are a lot of candles you can make, by yourself or together. I didn't have any extra tools and didn't feel like I needed them. This kit is a unique way to kill boredom and create something fun!

My initial thought on this was that at $64 it's a little spendy, and I do still think that; but not terribly so -- if you consider the experience. You get to make 6 individual pots (small ones) and that's going to take some time. You might even choose to do just one in a day, and save the rest for another time. Then the post dries by the next day, you paint it, and then you can fill it with melted wax for your custom-made candle.So here's the deal: This is several days of creative play with an outcome that is worthy (hopefully) of gifting. So like, less than $12 per candle. For some, the idea of having to work for it makes it less valuable. But for many, the hands-on, glorious-clay-in-your-hands feeling, the triumph of getting it just how you want it and creating something: That's a $12 value, easily.It's a cute set, well done, and with an attractive box that's highly giftable.
