My last post was all about Father’s Day gifts - and here is another which would make a lovely Father’s Day gift.  At least one customer is using this to frame a picture of her little boy with a painted tiger face on their last visit to the zoo - for a Father’s Day gift of course!

This one isn’t yet on the website.  To order it, please email wendy@1stuniquegifts.co.uk - it fits a standard 6″ x 4″ photo, is made of hand-painted and hand-lettered wood and has an acrylic glazed insert with card back which will stand up.

The price is £7.50 which includes delivery!  I’ll send a PayPal invoice by email for you to pay.  Order now and you’ll receive it in time for Father’s Day!

It’s amazing how quickly events come around again.  But there we go, it’s that time of year again when we all struggle to find something for the Dads of the country.

I just wanted to show you a few ideas from the 1st Unique Gifts studio which may just hit the mark this year.  Kicking us off is the campervan office door plaque:

Of course, because we handpaint everything to order, we can paint this in any colours of your choice.  Not only that, but the campervan can have its own personalised numberplate!  Any wording too.  Indoor use only.

Then we have a selection of picture frames.  You can have the natural wood

for my Daddy

the blue

or the neutral cream

My Dad rocks!

And of course, you choose the wording.  If you prefer a landscape photo frame, we can do that too, on request.

The artwork hangers are rather cute - and especially lovely for a Daddy who lives apart from his children as it’s somewhere special for him to hang their artistic gifts to him!  They come with two wooden sprung pegs on the back to make hanging all their little masterpieces simple.

Clocks also make a great Father’s Day gift!  The campervan clock, below, can have any numberplate you choose: DAD 1, maybe?  This clock is available in any colour scheme you like!

Although all our items are hand painted to order and we do normally suggest you allow 7-10 days for delivery, we can speed the lead time up for special occasions - and of course Father’s Day is in this category.  When ordering, please make sure we know it’s for a Father’s Day gift (although we will assume anything with the words Dad, Daddy or Father in the personalisation details is indeed needed for the 20th June).  Please try to order by 15th June, if you want to order after that I can let you know by email if you’ll receive your gift in time.  Feel free to email me first: wendy@1stuniquegifts.co.uk

And last but not least, this little toilet door plaque would make an ideal gift to bring a smile to Dad’s face:

The wording on the plaque says: READING ROOM appointments not always necessary.

To buy any of these gifts, or to see more of what we do, pop over to the website: www.1stuniquegifts.co.uk

If you’re local to Croft, Warrington, you are of course welcome to collect (I’ll refund your postage costs if you choose to do this).

Whatever you choose to buy him, do have a Happy Father’s Day!

If you’re in or around the Warrington area this Sunday (31st May), do come down to Grappenhall Community Centre on Bellhouse Lane, where you’ll find a craft fair - and me.  Well, not sure I’ll be any sort of attraction, but let’s hope there’s at least a slight ripple of interest in the 1st Unique Gifts range.  I know there will be a lot of other great craft stalls there - a really good mix. 

Father’s Day is on 21st June this year, just three weeks away.  Do you know a dad who’d like one of these?

Either of the above would make a fabulous Father’s Day gift with a difference. Have your gift for dad personalised with your own choice of numberplate on the campervan clock, or choose your own message to go on the back of Dad’s Shed. It certainly beats another pair of socks!  You can buy them at  www.1stuniquegifts.co.uk - get yours now.

Getting away from Father’s Day, here are a few other things I’ve been working on recently:

The ladybirds on this clock will help you tell the time - count the spots!

See you soon - maybe on Sunday at the craft fair?  Come over and say hello!
