Description
This clear acrylic heart decoration carries one word in flowing black script, family, with a short line beneath it about the thread that weaves love, support and warmth. Small hearts in soft silver grey and white float around the words, and a fine grey line traces the outline of the heart, finishing in a little looped heart at the lower edge. The block is clear plastic, so whatever sits behind it shows through and the print seems to hang in the air. It stands 10cm tall, 9.8cm wide and 1.5cm deep, a size that sits neatly in the palm of a hand.
At 1.5cm deep the heart is thick enough to stand on its own edge, so it needs no stand, hook or wall. We like it on a desk, a bookshelf, a mantelpiece or a bedside table, anywhere the eye lands in passing. Near a window it catches the daylight, and the clear acrylic never looks crowded, even among busier things. The words suit a hallway shelf or a family room, where a reminder of what home means is never out of place. It is a quiet piece rather than a showy one, and it settles into most colour schemes because the clear body takes on the tones around it.
The print sits on one face of the block and reads the right way round from the front, with the lettering seen in reverse from behind. Acrylic is smooth and glossy, so a soft dry cloth is all it needs to stay bright; we would avoid abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, which can dull and scratch a clear surface. As a gift it is easy to give: tuck it into tissue in a small gift box of your own and let the words do the talking. Set it beside a framed photograph and it makes a simple, warm corner that says what a card might not.

What is the heart made of?
It is made of clear acrylic, a rigid plastic, with the words and the little hearts printed on it in black, grey and white.

The word family is written in flowing black script, with a short line printed beneath it about the thread that weaves love, support and warmth.
How should I clean it?
Dust it with a soft dry cloth. We would avoid abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, which can dull or scratch clear acrylic.
