Pink Lowe’s Mini Buckets
Lowe’s mini buckets are back and better than ever!! Just in time for Valentine’s Day, they’re available in the cutest pink color and they come with a lid!
That simple upgrade makes them perfect for holding drinks, desserts, candy, and all kinds of sweet treats without the mess.
I couldn’t wait to get my hands on these cuties! Thankfully, my local store had them in stock. I ordered online and picked them up curbside.
It’s easy to see why these buckets have gone viral on TikTok!

Make to Go Buckets
The center of the bucket cover has a small round circle that you can easily cut with scissors. Just the right size for a straw!
This is one that is meant to be shared with friends…think a Galentine’s Day or Valentine’s Day party, girl’s night, sisters’ get together or simply a Sunday lunch with your bestie.
Make it totally gram-worthy by adding a cute pink velvet bow.
