Valentine Gift Ideas From 15 Amazing UK Makers
Valentine’s Day isn’t only just for couples, it’s also a lovely way to show our friends and family how much we care for them and appreciate all they do for us!
What better way to do this, than with Valentine’s Gift?
Before I can introduce the makers, I have to thank the person who brought us all together!
Say hello is Robyn from Village Pop-Up Market.
She is an amazing woman, with a heart of gold! Who has helped support businesses across the UK to reach more people throughout these tricky, unpredictable times! As a company we have joined in with Robyn’s online markets since October 2020 and I can’t thank her enough for the support and connections she has helped me make.
As she has quoted before, through Village Pop-up: “A curated collection of unique makers & creators” is what Robyn delivers every month.
I have to make a note about the effort Robyn puts in to hand picking the independent businesses for each market. Making sure there is always something for everyone, I believe it has been an honour to work with her for as long as I have.
Although I wish to one day meet Robyn in person and thank her for the support she has give an infant business like myself, I will have to suffice with a HUGE virtual hug! 🤗 … for now!
I would advice any business with heart and passion for what they do to join Robyn’s online markets! Support her and in turn she has a beautiful way of supporting you! @villagepop
How it’s time to find the perfect gift for your loved one’s!
Meet all the makers of the last Village Pop-Up Market!

I studied Textiles at university and worked as a product designer for four years before deciding to take a once in a lifetime opportunity to work a Ski Season; a dream which was unfortunately cut short by COVID-19! I set up Alice Lynne Designs in October and started selling a range of handmade and unique home decor items including prints and felt decorations. My designs are influenced by narratives of nature, adventure, memories and history and are designed with an illustrative approach. I aim to create items which can be displayed in your home all year round.

Welcome to The Garden Box Company. This is a small St Albans-based business which I set up during the first lockdown to deliver beautiful plants to the doorstep, locally.
Since those beginnings in May 2020, the business has evolved. I’ve developed a lot of love for succulents, planted many terrariums, put together dried flowers in letterbox packages and bunches, planted doorstep and patio pots, sourced garden-themed gifts, enjoyed searching for reclaimed artefacts to plant, becoming somewhat of a personal plant shopper and an occasional market trader!
Please dm me to express interest or to order – instagram or Facebook
Hello! I’m Connie, the maker behind The Paint Kettle– I set up The Paint Kettle in the first lockdown (before the pandemic I worked as a theatre designer and puppet maker).
I have always loved painting, and had thought about setting up an Etsy shop for a while, so when lockdown came I thought it was the perfect time to combine the two!
I started by creating greetings cards and prints, and have also had some lovely bespoke commissions along the way! I love the natural world and make sure to use plastic free packaging and fully sustainable cardstock. 💚 It has been so exciting growing my new small business, and I look forward to growing it some more!
If you want to have a nosey you can have a look at my account @thepaintkettle or head over to my Etsy shop, the link of which is in my bio.
