We seem to have developed a range of photo frames for all occasions!

It wasn’t exactly planned that way, but customers really do sometimes have the greatest ideas, and a lot of the following ideas have come from customers’ requests.  If one of them was you, thank you!

So here we go.  We have the just the frame for a Christening - makes a lovely keepsake gift.

The first day at school photo frame: this is definitely one to help make that first day at school quite special and will bring a smile to a youngster’s face.

It’s lovely that this features their name at a time when they may have only recently learned to write or recognise it.

This next one is a great one for a gift for a teacher: all teachers deserve an apple, Mr Jones deserves a whole tree - with hand-painted illustrations of apple trees.  Ths makes a lovely, memorable gift, says what you need it to say and, what’s more, it can even frame a poem, message or picture drawn by your child for their teacher.

All these frames (and more!) are available from the website: www.1stuniquegifts.co.uk .  If there’s anything you’re not sure about, please email wendy@1stuniquegifts.co.uk for more information.  Most things are possible and as all the wording is hand-written it can be made smaller or larger to suit the space available.

All frames come in a choice of solid colour or shabby-shic (distressed) finish - just choose the one which suits you (or the recipient) best.  They measure approx 7″ x 5″ and take a standard 6″ x 4″ photo.

When you are invited to a Christening, or are buying for a new baby, it’s always nice to buy a gift which is special, unique and memorable.  Something a bit different.  If you are the Godparents or Grandparents, it’s even more important to get it right.  No pressure then!!

stork and baby painting

For a special Christening gift which stands out from the rest, have a look at our totally unique stork painting.  It comes in three different sizes - and therefore a price to suit every budget.  The impressive 14″ x 14″ deep-profile canvas is £29.99 - amazing value considering each canvas is hand-painted here in Cheshire, is hand-lettered to your requirements and you can even specify colours or have a message added.  The neutral colourway is most definitely the most popular and is usually in stock, which means it can be posted out next day. 

The 10″ x 10″ canvas, at just £19.99, is the most popular size and the neutral cream is usually in stock.  If you want a smaller gift, the 6″ x 6″ canvas is just £14.99.  Amazing value for something hand-painted and hand-lettered.  A very special gift for a very special baby… or babies!!!  Because our stork is hand-painted, we can paint you a stork with twins or even triplets at no extra cost!!  (We don’t usually have twins and triplet paintings in stock, but we’ll do what we can to ensure you’re not waiting too long).

To buy your very own stork canvas, go to: http://www.1stuniquegifts.co.uk/newbornandchristeninggifts.html

If you’d like to see a stork painting in person, we usually have them with us at fairs and markets.  Please check out our events page to see if we’ll be anywhere near you soon.  Our storks always provide the wow factor on the 1st Unique Gifts stall but there are always lots more gift ideas to look at too! 

A lot of people order the painted individual letters at the same time as their stork canvas.  The letters are a shabby-chic design (hand painted on the front and lightly sanded back to reveal some of the mdf wood) in your choice of colour (or colours) with a faux stitched-effect around the edges of each letter.

The neutral colour is always popular:

If you’re looking for something just as unique but smaller, you could order a door or wall plaque with the wording of your choice:

If you are going to a Christening any time soon, do have a wonderful time and enjoy your cuddle with the star of the show!  If you’re ordering one of our gifts for a specific date, be sure to let us know the date you need the gift for - we can work to most deadlines!
