Why a mosaic lamp kit makes a good housewarming gift
A new home fills up with candles and plants quickly. A lamp they made themselves stands out, and it stays on the shelf long after the candles burn down.
A gift with a story
Turkish mosaic lamps have been pieced together by hand for generations. With this kit they make one of their own from hand-cut glass and beads, and every time they switch it on it reminds them of their first weeks in the new place.
Match the theme to the room
For a living room, a warm theme such as Hagia Sophia (yellow, orange and red) or Cappadocia (red, orange, blues and yellow) gives a cosy glow. For a bedroom, the blues of Aegean or Black Sea feel calm. Cotton Castle (clear, white and mirror) suits a light, minimal space.
The Mini Table Lamp fits a shelf or a bedside table, the Swan and Aladdin lamps are statement pieces, and the rechargeable Camping Lamp moves from room to room.

Questions, answered
Is a DIY lamp a good housewarming gift?
Yes. It is useful, it is personal, and it gives them a relaxing evening in their new home. Unlike most housewarming gifts, they keep it for years.
Which lamp frame suits a small apartment?
The Mini Table Lamp (5.5" × 8.5") fits a shelf or a bedside table, and the Camping Lamp (5.5" × 10") is portable and rechargeable, so it needs no outlet nearby.
Can I ship it to their new address?
Yes. Enter their name and new address as the shipping address at checkout.
Is it difficult to make a mosaic lamp at home?
Not at all, and it's beginner friendly. The kit includes all the materials and tools you need, and no prior experience is required. Start your mosaic from the centre and work outward, keep the glue layer thin, and take your time.
How long does it take?
Most first-timers spend 4–5 hours placing the mosaic, often over two evenings. Then the glue dries overnight (about 12 hours) before you finish the lamp and switch it on. There’s no rush: work at your own pace.
Is it messy?
Only a little. Cover the table with newspaper or a sheet first. Grout is the one messy step, and the sponge in the kit wipes it off the glass.
What's in the box?
- Glass globe (the lampshade)
- Hand-cut glass mosaics and glass beads in your colour theme
- Glue, tweezers, grout mix, measuring cup, mixing stick and sponge
- Your chosen metal lamp frame with bulb, plug and on/off switch
- Design template and step-by-step instructions
Which frame should I choose?
Every kit globe fits all six iron frames, so pick the shape and size you like best: Table Lamp (5.5" × 11"), Mini Table Lamp (5.5" × 8.5"), Swan Lamp (8.7" × 15"), Camping Lamp (5.5" × 10", portable and rechargeable), Aladdin Lamp (10" × 18") or Mini Moon Lamp (9.5" × 15"). The size chart is linked in the buy box above.
How long does shipping take?
UK shipping is free on orders over £100, so two lamp kits ship free. Order by midnight (UK time) and we dispatch your kit the next business day. Delivery options and times are shown at checkout. For Christmas, order early.
