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!!

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).

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!

It sounds a bit like a horror movie, doesn’t it? 

It’s no such thing, though.  Just a rather fed-up-of-storks feeling going on in the 1st Unique Gifts studio today.  You can only paint so many storks with baby bundles before you need a change of activity.

- they make a fabulous Christening or new baby gift and are well-received by recipients (so I’m told).  They’re also often bought by parents as keepsakes.
