We all know about saying it with flowers, and we’ve maybe even heard about saying it with chocolates – but a message goes down really well on a photo frame too!

Because everything here is lettered by hand as well as painted by hand, we really can produce virtually anything you like.  Here’s a round-up of some of the frames we’ve made for people recently:

There’s the we will never forget you frame – this one was made for an au pair returning to her home country. What a lovely gift!

Have I covered everything here?  Actually, no.  There’s lots, lots more you could say or commemmorate with a photo frame.  If you’ve got an idea for a frame, pop over here to order one: http://www.1stuniquegifts.co.uk/handpaintedpictureframes.html

If you’d like to discuss your requirements by email first, or ask me any questions, click here: wendy@1stuniquegifts.co.uk – your colours, designs and wording are all up to you. 

The frames are available in a shabby-chic, slightly distressed finish or a plain paint finish – or plain varnished on the light wood base.  They measure approximately 7″ x 5″ and take a standard 6″ x 4″ (15cm x 10cm) photograph.  In the next month or two, I plan to introduce some larger frames too.

All frames can be made in portrait or landscape format, come with a standard cardboard backing so you can stand the frame on a shelf or similar and are glazed with acrylic – which not only makes them safe, it means they are lightweight and easy to post if you’re sending them halfway round the world. 

A lovely gift idea for absolutely any occasion!
