Just before Valentine's Day this year, nut butter brand Pip & Nut will be opening the doors to its Love Lab pop-up, which gives people the chance to personalize their own nut butter blends with unique ingredients. The Love Lab in London offers one-hour spots that can be booked to create nut butter and personalize the jar with the aid of a calligrapher.
The customization-focused workshop sessions invite people to begin with a base of either peanut or almond butter and then get creative with flavor by adding chili, strawberries, vanilla and other novel ingredients.
On-site, visitors will also be able to send heartfelt Valentine's Day cards and of course, there will be plenty of opportunities for sampling nut butter.
