Description
This wooden envelope plaque for Mum is a little keepsake with a sweet surprise tucked inside: a pink heart that slots into the open envelope and reads "MUM" above the words "being a Mum isn't a big thing it's a MILLION little things". The envelope is white, and its front carries the words "love you" in lilac typewriter lettering. A dainty border of tiny flowers and leaves in lilac, peach, pink and green runs along the flap line. The pointed back flap rising behind the heart is scattered with more flowers and a few little bees. It measures 14cm tall, 12cm wide and 2cm deep, so it sits comfortably on a shelf without taking it over.
We think it makes a heartfelt Mother's Day gift, and a gentle thank you to a mum who does all those million little things without being asked. It suits a bedside table, a dressing table, a hallway console or a bookshelf, anywhere she will catch the words each day. The heart lifts out of the envelope, so she can hold it to read and slip it back in for safe keeping. The envelope stands on its own on any flat surface, with no wall fixings needed.
Both pieces are made from wood, with the words and flowers printed on. The envelope's 2cm depth gives the heart room to sit upright inside. The back of the envelope is plain, so it looks tidy from any angle on an open shelf. To keep it looking fresh, dust it with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from damp and steam. For Mother's Day, we like to give it with a bunch of spring flowers. You could also tuck a handwritten note inside the envelope behind the heart, so your own words arrive alongside the printed ones.
