Description
This wooden photo frame in soft pale blue celebrates a baby's first days with a family of little ducks along its scalloped top edge. A brown mother duck and two yellow ducklings sit on top as cut-out shapes, as if paddling across a pond, while four more ducklings hang as bunting from a twisted cord across the front. Each one carries a printed word or two: Name, Born On, Length and Weight, the details every family wants to keep. Along the bottom rail, "Hello Little One" runs in cheerful multicoloured letters beside a frog on a lily pad, a bumblebee, a butterfly, green hills and a smiling sun.
It makes a lovely new baby gift for parents welcoming their little one, and a keepsake that only grows more precious as the years go by. We think it looks happiest on a nursery shelf, a chest of drawers or a dressing table, where a first photograph sits beneath the ducklings and the details of the big day stay close at hand. The soft blue and gentle pond scene suit pastel nurseries and farmyard or nature themes, and it is just as much at home in a grandparent's sitting room, keeping the latest arrival in view.
The frame is made of wood with a painted finish, and at 2.1cm deep it sits neatly on a narrow shelf. An easel stand on the back lets it stand on its own, so it needs no wall, and four small turn clips hold the backboard in place, making it quick to change the photograph. To keep it fresh, dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it gently with a barely damp cloth and dry it straight away, keeping water away from the cord. As a gift, slip a favourite early photograph inside before you wrap it, so the parents open a finished keepsake on the day.

It has an easel stand on the back, so it stands on its own on a shelf, chest of drawers or dressing table and needs no wall.

The four hanging ducklings read Name, Born On, Length and Weight, and the bottom rail reads Hello Little One in cheerful multicoloured letters.
Is this a good gift for a new baby?
Yes, we think it makes a lovely new baby gift. It is a keepsake for the nursery or the family home rather than a plaything, and it is best kept on a shelf out of little hands' reach.

Turn the four small clips on the back, lift out the backboard, place your photograph against the front and close it up again by turning the clips back.
How should I look after the frame?
