If you love all things pink, Lowe’s has a new find you won’t want to miss: a pink mini bucket! The adorable bucket is already making waves on social media as shoppers eagerly race to grab one. The best part? The mini bucket is only $2! If you’re looking to add to your tiny container collection or simply adore the color, it’s not too late to join the craze. Find out more about the new product drop, how to buy one and some clever uses for your Lowe’s pink bucket.

Why the Lowe’s pink bucket is going viral

Mini buckets were a must-have in 2025, and it seems they are as popular as ever as we roll into the new year. In late December, Lowe’s dropped a new variation of its iconic 0.4-quart mini bucket that comes in a fun color: pink!

Shoppers have been eagerly snatching up the retailer’s 5-gallon pink buckets (sold under the brand Project Source) for years, but there are plenty of reasons to love this too-cute twist. This mini bucket comes with a lid and is food-safe, which means there are more ways to use it outside of home-improvement projects or storage.

With Valentine’s Day merchandise already hitting shelves at retail chains, the timing of the bucket’s drop also couldn’t be better!

What shoppers are saying about the pink bucket

While you may assume that people have grown tired of tiny containers, the opposite is true! The mini buckets are quickly gaining attention online, and shoppers are already smitten.

“Why am I OBSESSED with this bucket?” one commenter said in response to a TikTok video teasing the new find.

Several others expressed a similar sentiment, with some revealing how delighted they were by the feminine spin on a home-improvement product.

“In your construction era,” said another commenter. “Lowe’s is for the girlies too.”

“Back to the store I go,” a customer joked.

Love the idea of having your own pink Bucket from Lowe’s? You’re not alone; the website shows that 50,000 were purchased just in the last week!

Luckily, there are still plenty available for purchase. Although you can’t get the $1.98 buckets delivered, they can be reserved for pick up on the Lowe’s website or you can head to your local store to buy yours.

Though they’re far from selling out, you may not want to hesitate to snatch up one of the pink buckets. As Valentine’s Day approaches, they could start flying off the shelves!

5 creative ways to use your pink bucket

Not sure what you would do with the bucket if you had one? Thankfully, the internet is full of ideas! Here are some creative ways to put the pink mini bucket to good use:

  • Turn it into an iced coffee cup. Top it with whipped cream and colorful sprinkles for a whimsical drink or drill a hole in the lid, add a straw and take it on the go!
  • Organize craft items and art supplies. Fill it with your pens, markers, scissors and more, then display it on a desk for a lovely pop of color.
  • Store your makeup brushes. They’ll all be in one place and easy to grab when you’re getting ready.
  • Craft a mini planter. Drill a few holes in the bottom and fill the bucket with soil. Then plant your favorite seeds or an already blooming flower. The Lowe’s website shows the pink bucket perfectly complimenting a purple Dalmatian bellflower.
  • Fill it with seasonal candy and chocolate. Add some Valentine’s Day sweets in February and it can become a too-cute Galentine’s Day gift!

At just $2, you can afford to grab a few—one for your desk, one for your craft room and one to gift to your most pink-obsessed friend.
