Description
This white photo frame marks a boy's First Holy Communion with an illustrated wreath of green leaves and little blue flowers, tiny stars and a small pink and lilac church. Inside the wreath, 'Special Boy' is written in soft blue script above a cross, with 'FIRST HOLY' on a lilac banner and 'Communion' beneath it. To one side sits a portrait opening for a 6 x 4in photograph, so a standard print from the day goes straight in without trimming. The frame is a clean rectangle in plain white, 22.6cm along its longer side, 17.4cm along its shorter side and 1.2cm deep, slim enough to sit neatly on a shelf.
It is made to stand: a strut at the back props it up on a sideboard, a bedside table or a bookshelf, so it needs no wall and no fixings. In a boy's bedroom it keeps the memory of his special day close by, and on a mantelpiece or hall table it lets the whole family enjoy the picture. We think it makes a thoughtful Communion gift from grandparents, godparents, aunts or uncles, bought ahead of the day and filled with a photograph of him in his Communion outfit once the service and the family meal are over.
At the back, a black backing board is held by small turn clips that swivel aside, so changing the photograph takes a moment, and the black strut sits flat against the board. To keep it looking its best, dust the front with a soft dry cloth and wipe away any marks with a lightly damp cloth, drying it straight after, and keep sprays and polishes off the illustrated design. For a gift, slip a photograph from the church or the family meal inside before wrapping, or give it empty with a card so his family can choose their favourite picture from the day.
