Description
This little wooden mantel plaque carries a heartfelt message for dad, printed in soft grey on a clean white face. The words read "A DAD is someone YOU LOOK UP TO no matter how TALL you GROW", set in a friendly mix of neat capitals and loose handwritten script, with a leafy sprig either side of the opening line. To the left stand two simple line-drawn houses, one short and one tall, each with a tiny sprout on its roof, a sweet nod to the words beside them. The rectangular block is 15cm across, 5.5cm high and 2cm deep, so it fits on even a narrow ledge.
We think it makes a thoughtful Father's Day gift, small enough to tuck into a gift bag yet personal enough to keep long after the day itself. It suits dads of every age, from a new dad marking his first Father's Day to a dad whose children are long grown and still want to say thank you. Its depth lets it stand on its long edge, so it sits happily on a mantelpiece, a bookshelf, a bedside table or a desk at work, wherever he will see it each day. The white and grey colouring is quiet enough to sit among family photo frames and other keepsakes without competing for attention.
The plaque is wooden, with a white surface and the words and drawings printed in grey across the front, while the edges are left plain white for a neat look from every angle. To keep it looking fresh, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from damp. For a lovely gifting touch, slip it in with a handwritten card from the children, or set it at his place on the breakfast table on Father's Day morning so it is the first thing he spots.
