Description
This friendship musical ornament is a little plastic heart decorated in soft watercolour colours, with a small bird perched among orange and yellow flowers and green leaves on a pale mint green ground. Beside the bird, in warm orange handwritten lettering, are the words "that's what friends are for". The back is a smooth metallic gold, so the heart looks finished from every side. It measures 10.5cm across and 3cm deep. A silver-grey twisted cord with a matching tassel loops from the top, and a small gold-coloured key hangs alongside it.
We think of it as a gift for a friend, the kind you give just because, simply to show how much someone means to you. Hang it by its cord from a door handle, a drawer knob, a peg or a hook beside a mirror, or rest it on a bedside table, a desk or a windowsill where the bright flowers will catch the eye. It suits a friend who loves birds, gardens and cheerful colour, and the printed words do the talking for anyone who finds it hard to say how much a friendship matters. Given with a handwritten card, it makes a small present feel truly considered.
The body is plastic, with a smooth gold back and a small winding stem set into one side. Turn the stem with the little gold-coloured key and the heart plays its tune, so it is as pleasing to hear as it is to look at. Wind gently and stop as soon as you feel resistance. To keep the colours bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it with a barely damp cloth and dry it straight away, keeping water well clear of the winder. Hung on a friend's bedroom door or by their desk, it brings a cheerful splash of flowers and a reminder of you to their day.
