Starting School: Photo Frames and Art Hangers

August 5, 2010 | Posted by Wendy

That first day at school is an exciting time – especially if you approach it in the right way!

Most children will have been well prepared for the occasion by their nursery, and will have visited the school, talked about school and will already know some of their classmates. The ones who haven’t had this preparation will soon catch up though!

I know a lot of parents and grandparents want to mark the occasion, and most people take a photo of the little one on their first day, looking all grown-up in their new school uniform. This personalised first day at school photo frame is a perfect place to display that photo – and last year a lot of people bought one (or more!). They make great gifts for grandparents too.

The frames come in a choice of colours, with a choice of little images at the top. They also come in a plain or distressed finish. Because they are painted and lettered by hand here in our garden studio, you can specify changes to suit yourself too: just email wendy@1stuniquegifts.co.uk to ask. The orders have started coming in now for these frames – if you’d like one too, you can order yours here: http://www.1stuniquegifts.co.uk/handpaintedpictureframes.html - delivery is usually within 7-10 days. If it’s urgent though, do let us know and we’ll do what we can to get it to you in time!

As well as frames, the little art hangers can make starting school a bit more special. With two sturdy wooden spring pegs on the back, they give you somewhere special to hang their artwork allowing you to give it the pride of place it deserves.
