Description
This wooden envelope plaque is a sweet way to tell a grandmother how much she is loved. A soft blue heart sits tucked inside a white envelope, like a love letter waiting to be read, and on it the word GRAN is printed in white, with the message "a kiss & a hug for the Gran we love" beneath. Little flowers in pink, yellow and lilac trail around the heart and along the V of the envelope flap, while the raised back of the envelope is scattered with tiny flowers and bumblebees. Across the bottom, "love you" is printed in a soft lilac typewriter style. It stands 14cm tall, 12cm wide and 2cm deep, small enough to sit happily in a corner without crowding it.
We think it makes a lovely Mother's Day gift for a gran, or a heartfelt thank you for all the care she gives. It settles easily on a bedside table, a windowsill, a mantelpiece or a bookshelf, and it stands on its own, so there is no nail or hook to worry about. The heart lifts out of the envelope, so she can hold the message in her hand, read it again, then slip it back inside to keep on show.
Both the envelope and the heart are made of wood, and a faint grain shows through the white and blue finish. The back of the envelope is plain white, so it looks tidy from every side. To keep it fresh, dust it now and then with a soft, dry cloth, and wipe away any marks with a cloth that is barely damp, drying it straight after. For gifting, tuck a handwritten note behind the heart before you hand it over: it turns a pretty piece into a personal message she will want to keep close.
