Description
This wooden star plaque carries a message every handy dad will recognise: DAD in bold black capitals, with "If Dad can't fix it, no one can" printed beneath. The star is finished in white, so the black lettering stands out crisply, and three little silver-coloured tool charms hang from its lower edge: a hammer, a screwdriver and a saw. It measures 10cm high, 7.5cm across and 0.5cm deep, a small piece that sits neatly on a short stretch of wall without taking it over. A black cord loops over the top, so it is ready to hang straight away.
We think it makes a cheerful Father's Day gift for the dad who reaches for the toolbox before anyone has finished explaining the problem. It suits a grandfather just as well, especially one whose fixing skills have become family legend. Hang it in a study, a hallway, a home office or the spare room where he keeps his projects, or by the front door where he will see it on his way out. Because it is so compact, it works on a narrow wall, beside a mirror or on the side of a bookcase, and it pairs nicely with a card on the day.
The plaque is made of wood with a smooth white finish front and back, and the cord is fixed at the back of the star, leaving the front clear for the lettering. The tool charms hang on small rings, so they move freely and catch the light as the star hangs. A single small hook or nail is all it needs. To keep it looking its best, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from damp. On Father's Day morning, hang it by his armchair before he comes down for breakfast, or wrap it with a card and his favourite biscuits.
