Beetle Wedding Gifts

I’ve just realised I haven’t shown you the latest Beetle wedding gifts! When it comes to personlaised wedding gifts, I’m always very aware of the date the gift will be handed over, because I am almost always asked to put the date of the wedding on the gift – and I don’t like to show something online before the recipient has seen it.
But we’re safe, now!

The Beetle car with the just married sign isn’t a new product (although I think this is the first one I’ve made in red). It’s on a deep-profile canvas, as usual, and this one was the largest of the three sizes available. Along with its cousin the campervan canvas, these do make lovely wedding gifts for people who love the vehicles or are using them for wedding cars.

The Beetle on a hanging plaque is brand new and, as often happens, was the result of a customer request.

I’m often asked to match the Beetles to real vehicles, and sometimes the wing mirrors or indicators are changed according to the customer’s request and when the vehicle was made. I’m no expert, but am getting to know a little more about vintage Beetles!
Oh, and although the campervans aren’t new, there are always variations that make me smile! This one was a special request for a couple who will be honeymooning in a campervan: don’t come knockin’ if the van starts rockin’

All lovely, Wendy, but I do like the richness of the colour of the Beetle. Great cars and ideal for your gifts. Hope you have a good week.
I think Beetles and VW camper vans are probably some of the friendliest looking vehicles ever made! My grandparents used to have a VW camper and we loved it- they once took us to see the tall ships in Newcastle in it, but instead of watching the ships we insisted on closing all the curtains and playing in the campervan!
These are really fun. I like the way the date is on the number plate – really clever!
That canvas looks perfect. Hope the couples who received these have long and happy marriages.
All super cute and lovely original wedding gifts!
Love those, what a great idea!
These look really fab ! Can help but liking the camper van best – such a classic !
Their all great but I really liked the camper van, made me smile. Ali x
Fabulous!Love that camper van-it made me laugh!
All lovely but the last one made me laugh
ha ha, lovely! I’m sure the recipient loved it, I really like how you match it up to really look like their car!
I hadn’t even noticed the subtle diference in the beetles wing mirrors until you mentioned it. Like the richness of the red one. Hugs Mrs A.
What i love most about your work is that you can alter designs to make things more personal to the receipient. Great idea for a wedding gift
Not too expensive gifts but shining with love
Just wanted to say a big thank you for all your lovely comments x
