It was a while ago now when I wrote a blog post about girly door plaques: http://www.1stuniquegifts.co.uk/blog/2010/03/girly-door-plaques-personalised-of-course/ 

I meant to write this one about boys’ door plaques as a follow up, but somehow it just didn’t happen until now.  Better late than never, I guess!

You may already know that we hand paint everything to order here in our garden studio

painted to order

which is a total pleasure on a sunny day like today (a slightly different story on an icy winter’s day!).  What this means for you, of course, is that you can specify all sorts of changes: colour, wording, image: everything can be painted exactly to your requirements.  Yes, we’ll refund if you’re not happy, because customers are usually delighted (you can read some customer comments here: http://www.1stuniquegifts.co.uk/cusomercomments.html)

train

The train is popular with little boys (and some bigger ones!)

dinosaur

and of course the dinosaur had to make it as part of our range

football door plaque

the football is usually the one where the background colour is very important to the recipient: get the team colours wrong and you may be in big trouble, get it right and you can do no wrong!

guitar door plaque

As a music room door plaque, or just as a bedroom door plaque for the budding or accomplished musician, the guitar works well.

campervans

The campervans can have a personalised numberplate as well as any wording on the plaque.

tractor

And the tractor is always popular: with or without the addtition of sheep. Red seems to be the colour to go with for tractors!

And let’s not forget the rocket:

For delivery within 7-10 days (often quicker) you can order here: http://www.1stuniquegifts.co.uk/doorplaques.html - and if you need your order for a specific date please say.  We’ll do everything we can to make sure you receive it in time.

Last week I showed you a tiny snippet of a ”just married” campervan painting on canvas: a delightful personalised wedding keepsake.

The canvas was commissioned by some friends of a campervan-loving couple.  After a short email discussion, I was asked to create a campervan canvas with the names of the couple above the van

 with the date of the wedding on the numberplate

and with a “just married” sign hanging from the wing mirror:

Oh, and with a personal message around the back edge!

congratulations

message on the back

wishing you a very happy and long life together

I hope the happy couple enjoy their campervan gift.  It is the first of its kind but has stirred up a lot of interest so I’m hoping it won’t be the last! Here it is:
