Description
This mini wooden plaque pairs a smiling little bee with the cheerful message "you are the BEES KNEES", a sweet way to tell someone they are simply the best. The bee sits slightly raised on a soft blue panel with a gently distressed, brushed look. Its round orange body is striped in black, with rosy pink cheeks, a happy smile and two pale spotted wings. Beneath it, a cream strip carries the words in grey lettering, and a natural wood frame runs around the whole piece. A bright yellow ribbon loop is fixed to the back for hanging. It is a small thing, 6.5cm wide and just 0.7cm deep, ideal for a small spot.
Because the message is so warm, it makes an easy, thoughtful gift. We think it is a lovely Mother's Day present for a mum who keeps everything running, and a heartfelt thank you for a teacher at the end of term. It is small enough to give alongside a card or tuck into a gift bag with something sweet. At home, hang it from a hook, a cupboard knob or a door handle in a kitchen, hallway, home office or bedroom, where the cheery bee brings a quick smile each time you pass.
The plaque is made from wood, with the bee set as a raised cut-out for a little depth. The back is finished in the same soft blue, so it looks neat even when it swings round on its ribbon. The ribbon is fixed at both top corners, giving a simple loop with nothing to assemble. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth and keep it indoors, away from damp, as you would any painted wooden piece. For a gift that feels complete, we like it paired with a jar of honey or a small bunch of flowers.
